Visit our Sidi Sizing Information page for complete size conversion info (ladies can use the chart at the bottom of the page).

Our Two Cents
The ARX Air shoes from Sidi are a casually styled motorcycle riding shoe that is designed for riding in the warmer days. Overall construction is a combination of canvas and suede microfiber in the upper section, a mesh lining on the interior and a Vibram rubber sole. Protection wise you get some D30 in the ankle area (more on that later), heel and toe reinforcements, and reflective laces + reflective heel inserts to help with night time visibility. Overall these shoes are CE 1 1 1 1 rated.
Other features include a gear shift protector, a full laces enclosure with a webbing lace holder to keep your laces secured and in place, as well as an overall highly breathable design to ensure comfort in warm weather. Four different color ways are available to help you match your style, while the overall design of the shoe definitely provide a casual, off the bike look. As a whole the ARX Air shoes are comfortable to walk around in and are not as stiff as some motorcycle shoes are, definitely a shoe that you can ride in and then use as a walk around destination shoe for when you get there.
As of this writeup the ARX Air is priced at $179.99 which is fair value for the money, you are definitely getting a shoe with good materials, good looks, and good features, my only real complaint, and this will especially relate to safety conscious folks like myself is the padding around the ankles. Yes, the ankles do have D3O lined in the main canvas and suede to protect the ankles, but honestly it seems a bit small and a bit thin, just doesn’t seem like enough to offer “top notch” ankle protection like Sidi calls it. Yes it will provide some protection but in my opinion Sidi should have gone thicker with the D30, it would not have impacted motion much, but would have done a good deal more for protection. So knowing that, every other aspect of the ARX Air I am happy with, and think its a really good looking shoe. Also this is the air version, if you like the design but don’t want as much breathability and even some waterproofing, check out the ARX WP version of this shoe. :: Damir 8/31/24
