SIDI boot wearing people, check in!

[PhotoBiker]

Sidi Adventure Rain (Non-Gore-Tex).

Had them for a year (next month - August), they take a little while to break in, they are very comfortable. I commute everyday and wear these.

Problems/Cons: Very hot during a heatwave (though all boots like this are in a heatwave). Mine leak easily. Ride through a puddle, get caught in the rain, stand in a wet field, walk through a puddle. Once wet, they simply do not dry without a special drier. I think I am in the minority on the leaking problem, they are warranted for 2 years and I have been cleared to return them to the vendor, but not until after my next four day tour with my oldest. I'd rather wear these boots that leak on a long trip than my Alpinestars (Gore-Tex) that have NEVER leaked because I like the secure feeling of the Sidi's.

Strada Eva Tepour (sp? the rain ones)

fit like a glove.

about $220 US about 4 years ago from local BMW dealer

awesome boot, I broke the tab off the zipper on the right one and it's a pain to zip and unzip but I don't want to give up on them yet.

been eyeing Aerostich's Combat Lites

Sidi Adventure Rain to replace the Aerostitch combat lights which, by the way ,are great highway boots,just not enough protectection for off pavement.

Sidi Vertigo .Its a roadrace boot.
I think I got for em 2-300 bucks new.
Very light weight but they put armour in all the right places.
Got the hinged heel so its easy to walk
Ive got this pair going on 6-7 years Ive crash tested them but I can not hurt the friggin things .A little scuffed but no sign of being worn out .
Sidi is the shit !

[SportEvo]

to replace a pair of Oxtar TCX's (?).
Much better ankle protection on the Sidi's.
Also have a pair of Sidi Crossfires - for the dirt bike.

I use the On-Road Gore-Tex. Works well, but a bit warm. Breathability is so-so at best.

I was the #2 post in this thread; at that time I was using Sidi Vertigo boots.

Since then, my Sidi experience has led me to also acquire:

Sidi Vertigo Corse
Sidi Crossfire TA
Sidi Canyon Gore-tex
Sidi Doha

As you can see, I'm sold, sold, sold on Sidi. Every other boot has been relegated to the "extraneous gear" bins.

you've been on a sidi binge.

Sidi Adventure Rains. Best, most comfortable on/off road motorcycle boots I've ever worn. They're an outstanding compromise between a full-blown motocross boot and a street boot.

SIDI Canyon GoreTex
Alaska Leather (while traveling
$350
Dual Sport/Street
Pros: Best comfort of any of the boots I've owned, totally waterproof (so far), big calfs (I need that)
Cons: Not enough protection for serious off road use

SIDI Adventure (old style, non goretex)
MotoNation
$275
Dual Sport/Off Road
Pros: Excellent protection!
Cons: Calf's are too small, not waterproof, not good for walking/multi day use

I'm a 10.5 4E and these boots fit correctly without cramping my toes. I struggle finding boots that can accommodate both my large calves and high instep; seems only the MX style boots open enough to get my feet in comfortably. Love them both, but the Canyons are AWESOME!

After 6 months of use they are as flexible as any leather boot after break in. A little squeaky but still the best $375 (Revzilla) I've spent on protective footwear. I even use them for my RT in the cold weather. Highly recommended.

I just scored a deal at the local dealer. He wanted to clear the shelf for the SIDI Adventure Goretex. $239 plus tax.

I went to try on the Crossfire SRS. They were a little to heavy for street riding. Think the Adventures will be a good "fit".

My ankle is still healing from going down in my Street Alpinestars.

Are comfortable right from the start. Fit true to size.

Damn, Kyle, that's a nice snag! $239 is nearly 50% off!

I'm not sure of your local dealer's logic though since the Adventure Gore-Tex aren't meant to replace the Rains. They're simply another option. In any case, you got an awesome deal!

I was ready to pay $500+ for the Crossfires. The Adventures felt so much better. For more aggressive off-road rides the Crossifires definitely offer the best protection.

Knew I got a good deal, when even my wife was happy with the purchase I made to support my habit (addiction)...
