For the same price, look at these Alpinestars

My Icon Chukka boots are coming in tomm. I'll post impressions and compare them with my "race-style" boots

Is it possible for a street rider to wear MX boots?

I'm still holding off on the boots - I really want to get them locally but then I have to spend some more money for the A*s which in the end might be what I get. This weekend is all about the boots.

Well the place that has them says they are on closeouts which means no returns/refunds. Everyone says Sidis run narrower - so I'm not going to take that risk.

Check out www.derbycycles.com The Oxtars are wider than the Sidi. You can exchange (you pay shipping both directions) or return for 15% charge. Even exchanging mine, I saved $3 over newenough.com.

Woohoo, got my Icon Chukkas in today... I wear a size Men's 7-8 and have no issues with the shifter on my 250. Very, very happy with my purchase.. completely covers the ankle and is well padded. Ventilates extremely well and looks awesome. I'll post more in detail later.

Oh, and for what it's worth, I'm selling a pair of Men's Joe Rocket Super Street boots in the classifieds... like new, bought for $160, selling for $125 or best offer.

Will be looking forward to an in-depth review on the Chukkas Arthur. What colour did you get?

I bought those as a backup pair...I had to get them STRETCHED at the shoemaker. No problems with the gear shifter. I got mine on sale for $20 on-line, so I thought I couldn't go wrong.

$20? That must have been one heck of a sale. I'm assuming they only had small sizes, so you have to stretch them haha.
