I had a look at some in a bike shop they look a bit tougher and have better protection that the SMX3.

There was a small review in one of the bike mags. The tester said they were tough and were taking some time to break in. But I found my SMX3's like that.

Oh and Viney. Welcome to Chavworld

Currently got SMX's. They are OK but the velcro closure is pants. That's why I am looking at boots with a ratchet type closure to secure them.

I think these boots look a little less chavvy than the similar priced SIDI's. I was also looking at Gaerne boots.

Decisions, decisions....!
