FAQs
Are these boots suitable for summer riding?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane offers breathability, making them suitable for summer. However, for extremely hot conditions, dedicated summer boots might offer superior ventilation.
How do I clean the suede sections?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the main advantage of the Gore-Tex membrane?
The primary advantage is its 100% waterproof and highly breathable nature, keeping your feet dry from external water while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Can these boots be used for walking off the bike?
The non-slip rubber sole offers good grip for walking, and the boots provide ankle support. However, they are primarily designed for motorcycle riding and may be stiff for extensive walking.
How durable is the closure system?
The combination of Velcro and zip closure is designed for durability and a secure fit. Regular cleaning of the Velcro ensures optimal adhesion.
What size should I order?
Sidi boots generally follow standard sizing, but individual fit can vary. It is recommended to check Sidi's official sizing chart and, if possible, try the boots on before purchasing.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite Gore-Tex
Ensure all zippers and Velcro closures are fully secured. Check for any tears or damage to the boot material or membrane. Clean the boot thoroughly and ensure the gaiter is properly positioned.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it still sticks, use a graphite pencil or a wax-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the Velcro straps and zip, then re-fasten them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate riding socks.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that may be reducing traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Gavia Gore boots are designed for general motorcycle use and are compatible with most motorcycle gear. The shifter pad on the left boot is designed to protect the boot from wear caused by gear lever contact.
Care:
