First boots.

Jinx · January 22nd, 2012, 07:20 PM

Purchased my first set of boots in prep for my first riding season. My buddy wears these so he recommended them.

Sidi Adventure Rain Gortex

I ordered these from some Italian website that I found a link for on another site. I only paid 360.00 for the pair which is half the price of anywhere else. This alone makes me a bit skeptical, but I'm hoping for the best and waiting for them to arrive. If everything turns out great Ill throw the site i got them from up here, but Ill wait until then so I don't wind up steering anyone onto a site that might not work out well. Lets hope I don't have to put that PayPal dispute function to work

wow, nice looking boots. I have not used them before, they look like they would be a good boot though. Spendy lil bastids

I purchased the corsa airs a few yrs back. Good while riding, just do not plan on walking in a mall with them.

Received my boots the other day after about 2 weeks of waiting. All in all im quite happy. The fit is perfect and they defiantly offer a substantial amount of protection. Id have to say the best part is they feel more along the lines of a normal boot than a hard motorcycle boot. I've walked around in them quite a bit to try and break them in and other than the added weight they are fine for off the bike activities. As for the cost, it wound up being $375 plus an $80 dollar import tax upon delivery. Even with the tax I still saved myself about $200 over the US cost of the boots. Now to wait another month and see how they fair in the MSF course

So where did you get em?

Ordered them from motostorm.it. Its a company in italy. You may be able to get an even better deal if you can find a european seller that uses dhl instead of ups though. Apparently if they ship dhl you can avoid the import tax, but that may be just a rumor
