Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Tenacia is a premium cycling shoe tailored for enthusiasts who value the aesthetic and tactile experience of classic cycling heritage without sacrificing modern build quality. Designed for adult riders, it offers a secure, customizable fit through traditional lacing and durable hand-stitched craftsmanship. While these shoes excel in comfort and style for long-distance rides and vintage events, they are specifically optimized for use with traditional cage pedals rather than modern clipless systems, which may limit compatibility for riders focused strictly on high-performance racing gear.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes with SPD or Look cleats?
No, the Sidi Tenacia is designed for traditional cage pedals and does not feature the mounting points required for modern clipless cleat systems.
How do I determine my size?
Sidi sizing follows European standards. The size 9 UK corresponds to the provided MPN specifications; we recommend comparing your foot length against a standard Sidi size chart.
Are these shoes suitable for gravel or mountain biking?
While the rubber sole provides grip, they are designed for road and heritage cycling and lack the aggressive tread pattern required for technical off-road terrain.
How should I clean the embroidered branding?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the embroidery. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent fraying.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred, provided they are compatible with the shoe's internal volume.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after riding for a while
Ensure you are using a double-knot or a secure reef knot. If the laces are worn, replace them with high-quality cycling-specific waxed cotton laces.
Foot feels unstable in the pedal cage
Adjust the tension of the pedal strap and ensure your foot is centered on the insole. Check that your cage pedals are tightened securely to the crank arm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, pair these shoes exclusively with cage-and-strap style pedals. When putting on the shoes, ensure the laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets to avoid pressure points; tighten starting from the toe box working upward. For care, wipe the outer material with a soft, damp cloth after every ride to prevent dirt accumulation in the stitching. Because these are hand-stitched, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the materials.
