FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling?
While technically designed with MTB performance in mind, they can be used for road cycling if you use MTB-compatible pedals.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes and never put them in a washing machine.
Can I replace the rubber inserts on the sole?
Yes, the rubber inserts are designed to be replaceable to extend the life of the sole and maintain grip.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sidi shoes typically follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the size guide based on your specific UK foot measurement.
Do these shoes provide enough arch support?
The structure of the shoe provides inherent stability, but you can replace the stock insoles with aftermarket orthotics if you require specific arch profiles.
Troubleshooting
Dial closure feels loose or slips
Check the dial mechanism for debris or dried mud and clean it with a light burst of air or a soft brush.
Difficulty walking on slippery surfaces
Inspect the replaceable rubber sole insert. If the tread pattern is worn smooth, replace the insert to regain traction.
Foot discomfort during long rides
Ensure the tension on the dial is distributed evenly and consider checking your cleat position for proper biomechanical alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When setting up your Aertis shoes, ensure your cleats are aligned correctly with the ball of your foot to prevent knee strain. These shoes are compatible with standard mountain bike (MTB) style pedal systems.
To care for your shoes:
- Wipe away mud and debris after each ride using a soft brush or damp cloth.
- Do not use harsh detergents; stick to mild soap if necessary.
- Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede from becoming stiff.
- Periodically check the rubber sole inserts and replace them if they show signs of significant wear to maintain grip.
