Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description mentions 'GTX,' which typically implies Gore-Tex, a waterproof and breathable membrane. However, specific waterproof claims should be verified with the manufacturer's full product details.
What is D3O Technology?
D3O is a smart material known for its shock-absorbing properties. It remains soft and flexible in its natural state but locks together on impact to absorb and dissipate energy, providing protection.
Can I wear these for walking off the bike?
Yes, the Nucleus GTX Low Shoes are designed with comfort features like Fortex Technology, making them suitable for walking when not riding. However, they are primarily engineered for motorcycle use.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as shoe fit can vary. Compare your foot measurement to the size chart if available.
What is the purpose of the shift gear protection?
The shift gear protection is a reinforced panel on the shoe designed to withstand the abrasion and wear caused by repeatedly shifting gears with your foot, extending the shoe's lifespan.
How do I clean the reflective laces?
Clean reflective laces gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or chemicals that could damage the reflective coating.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay locked
Ensure the 'Lock Laces' mechanism is fully engaged and the excess lace is securely tucked into the lace holder. If the mechanism is damaged, consider replacing the laces.
Discomfort around the ankle
The D3O ankle protection may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the laces are not overtightened, which can restrict circulation.
Difficulty putting shoes on
Utilize the rear loop for easier entry. Loosen the laces significantly before attempting to put the shoe on. The Fortex technology may become more accommodating with use.
Surface scuffs or marks
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away fresh marks. For tougher scuffs on reinforced areas, a leather cleaner might be suitable, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These shoes are designed for immediate use. Simply slide your foot in and use the 'Lock Laces' system to tighten them to your desired fit. Ensure the laces are secured within the lace holder to prevent them from snagging.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for motorcycle riding, the Sidi Nucleus GTX Low Shoes are compatible with most motorcycle foot controls and gear shifters. The low-cut design makes them suitable for various riding styles, including commuting, touring, and light adventure riding.
Care:
To maintain the condition of your Nucleus GTX shoes:
- Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
- For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
