Title: Just got my boots!
Post by: Maduro Mistress on September 12, 2005, 10:37:42 AM
To match my other mismash of clothing : ) (Everything I ride in is b&w)

Alpinestar S-MX booties, (http://www.harpersraceshop.co.uk/usrimage/smx%20plus%20black.jpg)

HOLY Comfortable. They are a guys size 42 (8) - I ordered them from the fit off of the motocross boots - they run pretty much exactly the same. WOW, what a great investment, ($260) my toes and ankles feel all secure - that means I can go faster! : ) LOL

I have SM-X and Sidi Vertebras.  I like the Sidis better on the bike and the SM-X better off the bike.

They look stiffer than hell.  Do the ankles flex at all from front to back?

BTW Maduro Mistress, I just looked at your pics on your site.  You are very pretty(cool tatto's) and why don't you have any pics of you and your GS on there?

Yep.  More flex than the Sidis.

My SM-Xs squeak like a honeymoon night on a rusty bed.

I should clarify my statement in the previous post - the Sidis pinch my feet when I walk, and the SM-Xs don't.  But the Sidis feel better (and don't pinch) when I'm riding.

Mine flex plenty well! I love em! ANd I read tons about them squeaking, but mine haven't (knock on wood) at all yet? I've been wearing them around the office all afternoon - people around here think I'm CRAZY!

Thank you Blazin :)  I only have 2 pics of me on my baby, and none in all my gear - was waiting to get it all - then I'll get some pics up there : ) Now all I'm missing is my pants!

They are stiff right now but they'll wear in - I was pre-warned about how wierd it would feel to change gears, up is okay, down is a little "knight in armor" like - but they'll take about 2 weeks.

I actually got them cause I have a pretty bad right ankle, and they're for support more than anything, so I'm really happy!

Yes, I think you should take some pics of you next to your bike wearing nothing but your boots. I would find that informational and a great asset to the forum.  :thumb:

I just got an older pair of the Sidi Vertebras.  Very comfy I think.  I need to get insoles for them.  And, man, the chrome...  Nice bit of bling :)
