FAQs
Are the Sidi Rex boots suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?
The Sidi Rex boots are primarily designed for street and performance riding, offering maximum protection. While they can be used for other types of riding, their robust construction might be less comfortable for long-distance touring compared to specialized touring boots.
How do I clean the Sidi Rex boots?
Clean the boots using a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with water. Ensure they are dried thoroughly in a cool, dry place away from direct heat.
What does EN 13634 certification mean?
EN 13634 is a European standard for protective clothing for motorcyclists. It certifies that the boots meet specific safety requirements for abrasion resistance, impact cut resistance, and transverse rigidity.
How is the fit adjusted on the Sidi Rex boots?
The fit is adjusted using an innovative high-density resin dial system, which allows for precise, dual-sided tightening and loosening. Additionally, the Tecno calf tensioner provides adjustability for leg circumference.
Can the toe slider be replaced if it gets damaged?
Yes, the Sidi Rex boots feature a fiberglass reinforced nylon toe slider with an aluminum insert, which is replaceable to maintain protection after wear or impact.
What is the recommended break-in period for these boots?
Like most performance riding boots, the Sidi Rex boots may require a break-in period to achieve optimal comfort. Wear them for shorter rides initially and gradually increase the duration as they become more flexible.
Are these boots waterproof?
The Sidi Rex boots are designed for protection and performance and are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. They offer some water resistance due to their materials, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to water ingress.
Troubleshooting
Dial system is stiff or difficult to adjust
Ensure the dial and its mechanism are clean and free of debris. Gently work the dial back and forth. If persistent, consider a light application of a silicone-based lubricant to the mechanism.
Boots feel too tight in specific areas
Utilize the adjustable dial system and Tecno calf tensioner to loosen the fit in the relevant areas. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consult the sizing chart if unsure.
Shin plate is damaged or worn
The shin plate is designed to be replaceable. Order a compatible replacement part and follow the instructions for removal and installation.
Sole shows signs of excessive wear
While the sole is durable, aggressive riding can lead to wear. Regular inspection is recommended. For significant wear, consult a professional boot repair service.
