FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD pedals?
Yes, the Aertis series is typically compatible with standard 2-bolt MTB/SPD style cleats.
Can I replace the rubber inserts myself?
Yes, the rubber inserts are designed to be user-replaceable. You can purchase replacement kits from authorized Sidi dealers.
How do I determine my correct size?
Sidi sizing can differ from casual street shoes. It is recommended to measure your foot length in millimeters and refer to the official Sidi size chart for UK/EU conversions.
Is the suede material waterproof?
Suede is water-resistant to an extent, but not waterproof. Using a suede-specific water repellent spray can help protect the surface from light spray and dirt.
Are these shoes suitable for spinning classes?
Yes, the walkable sole and comfort features make them excellent for indoor cycling and gym-based spin classes.
Do these shoes come with cleats included?
No, cleats are typically sold separately and should match the specific pedal system you are using on your bike.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening the Firmor system
Ensure no debris is caught in the closure mechanism and verify that the laces or straps are not twisted.
Slippage while walking
Check the rubber inserts on the sole; if they appear worn down, replace them with a new Sidi-compatible insert kit.
Discomfort during long rides
Re-evaluate your cleat position or consider using aftermarket insoles to better match your arch profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Aertis shoes last through many seasons, follow these setup and care guidelines:
- Cleat Installation: Align your cleats carefully with the bolt pattern on the nylon sole. Use a torque wrench if available to ensure they are secure but not overtightened.
- Firmor Adjustment: Adjust the closure system while your feet are inside the shoes to find the sweet spot between snug support and blood flow comfort.
- Cleaning: As the shoes feature suede, avoid machine washing. Use a soft brush to remove dried mud after every ride. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a specialized suede cleaner and air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the suede upper when not in use.
