How well do those fit? I like the straps on the Sidis because they seem like they would keep them plenty snug around the ankle. I like for my boots to fit tight on my feet, and sometimes I have issues with my feet sliding around with anything that I can't make tight around my foot/ankle because of my calves.

I've been debating possibly picking up a pair of these as an alternative to wearing my boots all of the time, especially days I have class or happen to go out with some friends. I don't mind changing shoes at work, but I don't always have a place to store my boots for class or when I'm out. I know they won't be as protective as a full boot, I want to see how much rigidity it has around the ankle. |

More than likely. Has mildly more protection than regular shoes though.

Wear some latex gloves too, since those have mildly more protection than nothing

Still true though. You can't substitute the protection boots offer. If you don't want to wear them or deal with them, then just wear tennis shoes. I can't see the benefits of paying over $100 for riding shoes.
The only ones that appear to offer any ankle protection (rigidity) are these: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/a...fastlane-shoes And I still wouldn't waste my money on them. |
