How long could I expect my Sidi boots to last?
Sidi considers the usable lifespan of one of its boots to be five (5) years. After five years some of the natural materials used in making the boots start to deteriorate. Naturally wear and tear and crashes impact a boots life very much too, as does rider maintenance. But generally speaking if you take care of your Sidi boots then they will take care of you!

What kind of Warranty do Sidi boots have?
Full details on Sidi product warranty and repairs are available here.

What else does Motonation sell?
AGV Sport apparel! The finest value in street and track apparel! Vemar helmets. Manufactured in Italy, they're the best crafted helmets in the world.

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 boot sizing guide used within the website.

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?
Yes. 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 Way Rain Mega and Vertigo Mega Gore Tex are offered in EE width.

I ride off road and 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

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 Gore Tex waterproof membrane and constructed with top grain leather outer as it works best in conjunction with Gore Tex.

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.

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, AGV Sport, Vemar 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 Crossfire boot, you are looking at quicker break in times than a normal off road boot. On the average, the dirt boots take only one ride, 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. Make sure not to use any kind of cream or saddle soap on any Gore Tex boot!!!! This will clog the pores of the leather and keep the liner from doing its job, keeping water out! When drying wet boots, remove any insoles and stuff shoes with newspaper.

Does Sidi have a rider support program?
Yes, we have an extensive rider support program. To find out more please click on the Rider Support button on Motonation’s home page.
