so my old sidi vertebra boots have finally given up on the zips and the local zip shop cant fix them

im looking at new boots and will probably end up getting the new sidi vortice boot but will consider others, any recommendations??

I have the new sidi St goretex boots. Very comfortable to walk round all day in. has the adjustable rear section like a lot of the new sidi's. I prefer them to the vertigo evo's I had before.

Yeah, give up on sidi. Overpriced and when the soles go, which are made of the worst rubber they become unviable.

I've been impressed with the use I've had from my Alpinestar SMX 4s.

Or, if you want something lovely, Daytona make great gear.

I hear gaerne motorcycle boots are not half bad...

I had my eye on the rst tractech for months. Finally ordered them around my birthday time and was gutted when they just didn't fit. The foot bit was grand but they didn't like my ankles!

was really disappointed cos I had wanted them for so long. Ended up going along the my local motorbike superstore and to be honest, I'd say you just need to go and try different ones on and see what fits your feet best.
Dainese boots were gorgeous. Great quality and feel but just not in my size. Ended up with a pair of sidi fusions. All depends on your budget as well right enough.
Good luck, I hope you find something suitable

im not fond of the daytona boots as the look plain as plains gets in all honesty, i quite like all alpinestar boots but think i'll go for sidi's have had them for a couple of years and i know the fit well and can take a beating if i fall of again

cheers all
