FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD-style cleats?
Yes, the AERTIS line is typically designed for MTB and off-road style two-bolt cleat systems.
How should I clean the suede-effect material?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes and never use a washing machine or dryer.
Can I replace the rubber inserts on the sole?
Yes, the rubber inserts are designed to be replaceable to extend the life of the outsole.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Sidi shoes are often perceived as having a more tailored, performance fit; it is recommended to check the specific size chart to match your UK size.
What is the primary benefit of the Firmor closure?
It provides superior lateral support, which helps keep the foot in the correct position for optimal power output.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day riding?
Yes, the nylon outsole is designed to be stiff enough for efficiency while maintaining enough comfort for long rides.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel loose or slip during use
Check the mounting bolts to ensure they are torqued correctly and ensure the cleat interface is compatible with your pedal system.
Shoe feels tight across the arch
Loosen the Firmor Closure system fully, then re-tension slowly to ensure an even distribution of pressure across the top of the foot.
Upper material looks dirty or stained
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your AERTIS shoes, install your cleats according to your pedal system's specifications, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the recommended torque. Because the upper features a suede-effect finish, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners. Instead, wipe the shoes down with a soft, damp cloth after each ride to remove mud and grit. If the soles encounter heavy wear, the rubber inserts can be replaced to maintain consistent grip, which is a significant advantage for maintaining safety and comfort over several seasons.
