Looking for some suggestions on riding boots. I tend to ride most of the year so warms would also be a factor. After all, ankles are complicated pieces of body. and after seeing some of my firends results.. quite fragile.

Riding boots are designed to offer supreme support & protection over standard work or walking boots.

I Was looking into the sidi. I was also wondering if the sizes run the same as regular footwear. Im just not sure which would be the best type to get. Im a pretty sedate rider / commuter.

If you have trouble finding a good fit, try:

www.batesleathers.com

They'll make a pair of boots just for you.

Sidi makes a great boot. http://www.sidisport.com/eng/motorcy...asp?ATp_ID=M02

Sizes might be different from one make to the next, if that's the case you should head to a shop and try them on.

That looks like a great street riding boot :biggthump

I like Sidi myself.

sidi = good stuff

Sidi sizing is a little odd... I got a pair of vert 2s in the beginning of the season and they were so small I was afraid I might have to return them... they eventually broke in and are fine now... later on I got a pair of Sidi Citys for the street so I didnt wear out the vert2s too quickly... same size, and these things are WAAAAY too big....

great boots though!

I have Alpinestars SMX boot, great protection from all that Lorica held up well in a spill at the track without much damage. Comfy as anythin ever, wear them all day sometimes.

I have sidis and think they are too narrow for my foot. My toes get crunched. I have to take them off after every session. I am going to try oxtars next season.

RonJ83 · 11-30-2005, 04:26 PM

you can try on sidis at absolute cycle performance in linden. guys really cool over there.

AfricanBootyScratcher · 01-06-2006, 04:31 AM

them is some nice steps!

I Picked them up at washington cycle works. I was going to go for the corsica but I could not see spending the extra on slight differences between the boot. They took some getting used to and like a dumbass I forgot to adjust the linkage. Needless to say, until that was done I was shifting like a newbie.
