Full details
The Sidi Tenacia cycling shoes are designed for cycling enthusiasts and vintage style aficionados who prioritize traditional craftsmanship, durability, and a classic aesthetic.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD or Look cleats?
The Sidi Tenacia is primarily designed for use with classic cage and strap pedals.
How do I clean the microfiber material?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can use any high-quality athletic shoelace of appropriate length if the originals become worn.
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
They are ideal for vintage-style races or events like L'Eroica, though they may lack the extreme rigidity of modern carbon-soled race shoes.
How does the sizing run?
Sidi sizing generally aligns with European standards; please refer to the UK/EU size chart to ensure a correct fit for your foot length.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a comfortable tightness
Adjust the tension of the laces systematically from the bottom eyelets toward the top to distribute pressure evenly.
Heel slipping while pedaling
Ensure the laces are snug near the ankle eyelets and check that your foot is properly seated against the heel cup.
Sole grip feels slippery
Clean the rubber sole with a soft brush and water to remove debris or dried mud that may be blocking the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, pair these shoes with classic toe-clip and strap pedals, as the included insole is optimized for this interface. When tightening the laces, ensure even pressure across the bridge of the foot to maintain circulation. After riding, particularly in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the microfiber upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking. Regularly inspect the laces for fraying and replace them if necessary to maintain a secure fit.
