FAQs
Can I install cleats on these shoes?
No, the Sidi Tenacia is specifically designed for use with cage pedals and does not have the necessary mounting holes for clipless cleats.
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
While the rubber sole provides decent grip for short distances, they are cycling-specific shoes and are not intended for extended walking.
How do I clean the microfiber upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that might damage the stitching.
Do I need to break in these shoes?
Yes, as with most high-quality microfiber cycling shoes, they will naturally conform to your foot shape over the first few rides.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The microfiber material is durable and handles light moisture well, but they are not waterproof and will soak through in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping within the pedal cage
Adjust the tension of your toe straps to secure the shoe firmly, or consider adjusting the pedal cage size if the shoe profile is too loose.
Laces coming undone during long rides
Use a double knot or tuck the excess lace loops underneath the cross-lacing to prevent interference with the crank arms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Sidi Tenacia shoes, ensure that your toe clips and straps are adjusted to match the width and profile of the shoe sole. Since the shoes lack cleat mounting points, the focus should be on the alignment of the ball of your foot over the pedal axle. For care, wipe down the microfiber upper with a soft, damp cloth after each ride to remove road grime and debris. Do not machine wash the shoes; if they become saturated, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the microfiber from becoming brittle or shrinking.
