Sidi Vertigo's - maintainence

[muzikill]

Someone on here described that you could replace the sliders with metal ones from another boot - any ideas?

Plus the leather tip of em is getting 'raw' any ideas on how i could cover this up or repair it?

No definite answers on the metal sliders, I guess you could see what other boots do a screw on wrap around toe slider and if they have a metal option. Do sidi do the metal version as an accessory? (just had a quick look round and they do a version with ceramic inserts, seen them in the online shop on http://www.earnshaws.net/). You could also try looking on the www.feridax.com (http://www.feridax.com) in the sidi section, they are the importers.

Re the raw leather, I've always used nikwax products on my leather boots to keep them supple and waterproof the leather. Then a bit of black polish on the raw part would help match the colour on the scuffed part to the rest of the boot. hth.
