What kind of Warranty do Sidi boots have?
All Sidi products have a two-year from purchase date warranty on workmanship and/or materials. Warrantee covers the original buyer only and is not transferable. If the item in question does fall under warranty Motonation, at its discretion, will cover the repair or replacement of the item. Crash damage or improper motorcycle starting procedures are NOT covered under warranty!

Motonation reserves the right to repair or replace, at our discretion, any valid warranty claim. All warrantee claims must be accompanied by a copy of the original invoice from where the item was purchased.

In addition to providing complete warranty repair or replacement for your item Motonation also offers comprehensive repair services at reasonable prices (cost varies with work required). This added service is helpful when you experience a difficulty that is not covered under warranty.

A Return Authorization Number is required in order for us to begin processing a warranty claim or repairing your item. To obtain an RA# or discuss a problem that you may be experiencing with your boots you may call us at 619-401-4100. You will be responsible for the cost of shipping the boots to us: If your problem is covered under warranty Motonation will pay for the return freight. It will be sent UPS Ground unless you request more immediate handling. Motonation will then charge the customer for the difference between UPS Ground and the requested handling.

What else does Motonation sell?
Two things.

First thing: Spidi apparel, the finest line of road and adventure apparel in the world! From leather to textile Spidi has it all!
Second thing: Vemar helmets. Manufactured in Italy, they're the best crafted helmets in the world..

What do I do if the boots I get don't fit perfectly?
First, make sure you're buckling them correctly. Click here for instructions.
You can get different feet, but that's really expensive.
Here's a better way, and the method we suggest:
Keep the first set of boots, and we'll ship you a new set, so you can compare the two.
Once you have tried both sizes and determined which is correct, then you can call us for an RA (Return Authorization) number.
Return the pair you don't want, and we'll dump money in your credit card account.
We can also exchange or refund your money.
Or you can keep both pair and sell the other to a buddy/enemy.
Whatever is easiest for you. We're here to help.

Do Sidi boots come in different widths?
One does. Most Sidi boots are a "D" in width, which gives just about everyone enough room and a comfortable fit. Some models do fit a bit wider. The On Road will fit bigger feet, but only up to an "E". The newly released Way Rain Mega is offered in EE width.

I have REALLY big calf muscles. Do you have anything that will work?
Yup. The Crossfire boots. Most riders have a normal 15-17” circumference around the largest part of their calf muscle. The Crossfire boot can accommodate riders with larger calves easier than any other boot now available. The Crossfire can accommodate riders with up to a 22-inch calf diameter 14 inches above from the bottom of their heel.

Does Motonation offer any other boots that I don’t see on their web site?
NO. What you see is what we have, right here, right now. We update our site as much as possible, and if you check back often, you may find something new. If it's on the website, it's in the warehouse.

Can I special order a boot if it is not listed on your site?
Nope, sorry. Sidi Italy does not keep a stock, all boots are built to order and with their 500 minimums per model non USA stocked colors or sizes is just not an option.

Does Motonation carry any boots that are not manufactured with leather?
Many of the Sidi boots are available in Lorica a synthetic material that Sidi believes actually out performs leather in most applications. Please note the specs on each model for its base material. Models constructed with a Sympatex waterproof membrane and constructed with top grain leather outer as it works best in conjunction with Sympatex.

What is Lorica?
A small town in western Pennsylvania.
Actually, Lorica is a synthetic material used on many models of Sidi boots. It has better abrasion protection than leather; it also stretches a bit less over the long run.

Your sizes are listed as metric and American men. What size should be ordered for women?
It's been our experience that when it comes to women, get her any size she darn well wants.
In general, women’s sizes run about 1 ½ to 2 sizes SMALLER than men. So, if a woman wore a 9, she would be a 7 to 7 ½ in men size, or better yet, a metric 41 in Sidi’s. Check our size chart for comparison. See also: the sizing charts used within the website.

Does any dealer in my area carry Sidi boots?
We don't know...where the heck are you?
Check the dealer listing section of our web site. There you will find a listing of all the stocking dealers for Motonation and Sidi. If you can’t find it there, give us a call, and we will locate a shop for you.

How long should it take to break in my new boots?
Break in time varies from model to model. Dirt boots will take longer than the street boots, on the average, but with the Crosssfire boot, you are looking at quicker break in times than a normal off road boot. On the average, the dirt boots take around 8 rides, and the street boots just a couple of day rides.

How can I clean and take care of my new Sidi boots?
That’s easy, just mild soap and water. Any Sympatex model should only be cleaned with soap and water, and be kept out of the sun when not worn. The Force boot and all of the off road line should be cleaned with mild soap and water, and then be treated with our waterproof cream. If you can’t get the cream, we do recommend saddle soap or mink oil to keep the leather soft and more waterproof. Make sure not to use any kind of cream or saddle soap on any Sympatex boot. This will clog the pores of the leather and keep the liner from doing its job, keeping water out! If the boots are wet stuff them with newspaper and let them dry at room temperature, do not place them next to a heat source!

While riding, abrasions do occur. Check the stitching and repair as necessary (Hint: use of a stitch protecting formula such as Shoe-Goo is highly recommended for off road boots).
If necessary, use saddle soap to clean and protect the Lorica material on street boots.
When drying wet boots, remove any insoles and stuff shoes with newspaper. Do not expose SIDI boots to excessive heat!
SR sole mounting screws need regular service. After every second ride remove these screws and grease the threads, then reinstall. In this way they will not rust to the inserts and will always be free to be removed when the sole needs to be changed.

How do the sizes run?
Sidi boots come in metric sizes. For the most part they translate well to American sizes. If you are on the border, give us a call, or drop an email, and we WILL get you into the right size. See also: the sizing charts used within the website.

Does Sidi have a rider support program?
Yes, we have an extensive rider support program. To submit your resume please visit sponsorhouse.com
