Beginnings in a Small Workshop (1960)
Sidi was founded in 1960 by Dino Signori in a modest artisan workshop in Italy. Initially, the company made footwear for mountain sports, combining craftsmanship with a practical approach to materials and design.
From Mountain Shoes to Motorcycle Boots
In the 1970s, Sidi began shifting toward cycling and motorcycle footwear. Their expertise in shoes laid a foundation for boots that balanced rigidity, protection and flexibility. Over time they evolved into a specialist in aggressive, high‑performance boots for road racing and off‑road use.
Innovation and Signature Features
Sidi introduced many features that became standards in boot design. Their famous buckle closure systems, replaceable soles, adjustable calf systems and articulated joints set new benchmarks. They continued refining materials, ergonomics and protective elements to deliver boots suited to real riding demands.
Built by Passion, Backed by Racing
Sidi’s reputation grew through association with champions and serious riders. Their boots have been used by motocross and road racing legends. Feedback from these riders became part of its design DNA, helping Sidi sharpen fit, control and safety with each generation.
Craftsmanship Continues Today
Although some production is carried out abroad, Sidi still retains high standards of finishing, quality control and parts replacement. Even entry‑level models benefit from techniques developed for premium lines. Riders value Sidi for both its pedigree and its ongoing commitment to durability and performance.
