First boots.
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

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

Those look more like MX or super moto boots. looks comfy to walk in but heavier then sport boots. Nice looking boots though.
