FAQs
Can I use these shoes for road cycling?
While technically possible if you use MTB-style pedals, these shoes are best suited for gravel, touring, or mountain biking due to their treaded outsole.
How do I know if the Aertis size is right for me?
Sidi sizing generally runs true, but they are known for a performance-oriented fit. If you prefer thicker socks, you may consider a half-size larger than your standard casual shoe.
Are the rubber inserts easy to replace?
Yes, they are designed to be easily removed and replaced using standard tools, ensuring the longevity of the sole.
How do I maintain the suede-effect material?
Keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to heavy moisture. Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner if stains occur.
Is this model suitable for high-intensity racing?
The Aertis is designed for comfort and reliability. While capable, it is intended more for endurance and daily performance rather than pure lightweight racing.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting fit while riding
Ensure the closure mechanism is free of grit or mud. Use a dry cloth to clear the ratcheting system if it feels stiff.
Heel slippage while pedaling
Check that the reinforced heel counter is not being obstructed by thick socks. Re-tighten the closure system specifically at the lower mid-foot.
Creaking sounds during pedal stroke
Remove the cleats, clean the interface area on the sole, apply a tiny amount of high-quality grease to the bolts, and reinstall tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Cleat Installation: Ensure your cleats are properly aligned according to your pedal system instructions. Use a light application of grease on the bolt threads to prevent seizing.
Compatibility: These shoes are compatible with standard mountain bike (MTB) style pedal systems that use two-bolt cleat patterns.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After muddy rides, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. For the suede-effect upper, avoid harsh detergents; use a gentle specialized cleaner.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place the shoes near radiators or heat sources, as this can warp the nylon composite sole.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the replaceable rubber heel and toe inserts. If you notice the tread wearing down significantly, replace the inserts to maintain traction.
