Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Polvere is designed for gravel enthusiasts and off-road cyclists who prioritize a natural, secure fit and rugged durability. These lace-up shoes offer an ideal balance of stiffness and comfort for long climbs and mixed-terrain rides, though the traditional lace-up closure may be less convenient for riders who prefer rapid on-the-fly micro-adjustments found on dial-based systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD cleats?
Yes, the Sidi Polvere is compatible with standard two-bolt mountain bike cleat systems like Shimano SPD.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoes. Clean them by hand with water and mild soap.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sidi shoes typically follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific size guide or try them on with your preferred cycling socks.
Is the sole stiff enough for road cycling?
While the nylon and glass fiber sole is efficient, it is optimized for gravel and off-road, meaning it has more flex than a dedicated road race shoe.
What should I do if the laces break?
The laces can be easily replaced with any high-quality, non-stretch athletic shoelace of a similar length.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during the ride
Double-knot your laces and tuck the ends into the integrated lace keeper or under the crossing laces.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Experiment with different lacing patterns, such as skipping eyelets over the sensitive area to reduce localized pressure.
Difficulty clipping into pedals
Check for debris in the cleat area and ensure the cleats are not overly worn or positioned too far forward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Sidi Polvere, install your chosen mountain bike-style cleats onto the two-bolt mounting pattern on the sole. Ensure the cleat bolts are tightened securely to the manufacturer's torque specifications. For care, wipe down the microfiber upper with a damp cloth after muddy or dusty rides to prevent grime buildup. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air dry slowly in a cool, ventilated area—avoid direct heat sources, which can damage the synthetic materials and the sole adhesive.
