Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Polvere Cycling Shoes are designed for female gravel riders who prioritize a natural, secure fit and rugged durability on unpredictable terrain. These shoes offer a significant performance boost through their stiff, reinforced sole and stability-focused construction, though riders accustomed to dial-based retention systems may find the traditional lace-up closure requires more time to adjust.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with road bike pedals?
No, the Sidi Polvere is designed for 2-bolt mountain/gravel style cleats (SPD).
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Sidi sizing can be specific. We recommend measuring your foot in centimeters and comparing it to the official Sidi size chart.
Can I replace the laces if they break?
Yes, the laces are standard length and can be replaced with any high-quality cycling-specific or hiking lace of the same length.
Is the sole stiff enough for racing?
Yes, the glass-fiber-reinforced nylon sole provides a high level of stiffness suitable for competitive gravel riding.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are water-resistant and quick-drying, but they are not fully waterproof or insulated against extreme cold.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during climbs
Tighten the laces across the mid-foot section specifically to lock the heel in place.
Cleat clicking or loose during use
Check the cleat mounting bolts for tightness and ensure the cleat is properly seated in the sole recess.
Material stiffness after washing
Once dry, flex the material by hand to soften the fibers and ensure a comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, install your preferred SPD-style cleats onto the sole using standard mountain bike cleat hardware. Ensure the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent movement.
For care, remove mud and debris after every ride using a soft-bristled brush. Because the upper is made of microfiber, you can wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature; never place them directly on a heater or in a dryer, as high heat can degrade the adhesives and compromise the shape of the heel counter.
