Sidi Verts....down twice and still 

the one good thing about GStwin forums is that unfortunately a lot of people are able to truely vouch for a gear's crash performance. 

Both times at the track....once on a RS125 and the other on the 555 I sold. If ya aint crashin', ya aint ridin' hard enough.

I got a pair of Blue Joe Rocket Speedmasters. They have perforated leather lining inside so ur feet dont get too sweaty and are fairly waterproof...I love em there quite comfortable too.

Got a wicked Deal cost me about $155us!!!








As for whoever made the comment about Daytona boots...thereone of the best in the world some pairs can cost over $1000 each tho!

I've been down once hard and one low speed lowside with my Sidi Strada Evos and they're still in fantastic condition.

Sidi Vertebre II

+1 on that.

damnit, now I wanna go buy some new boots

Right now I've got some cheap Teknic boots, they were 40 or 50 bucks at newenough 2 years ago.  Held up well enough, but they are noticeably cheap.

I bought Teknic Stinger Waterproof boots because they were cheap.  The leather wore away in a couple of months, and even with mild rain they got pretty soaked.

I then bought some Sidi Strada Evo Tepor's ($220 at NewEnough), and they're simply incredible.  However!  If you've got an extra wide foot I think they'll be too snug, especially if you plan to walk in them.

I ordered a pair of AStars S-MX plus and Sidi Vertigo the non Corsa model and after trying both of them on at the same time I went with the Astars mainly because of fit. I think the fit is slightly wider on the Astars. But they were more comfortable, but they will take longer to put on because of the inner boot liner. They also seemed a little noisier. But I realy like how they felt and they held up my long pants better.

Tour Master Solution boots

My local bike shop didn't have a great selection, so this is what I ended up with (I even bought the display model). Primarily I wanted something with a flat sole so my foot could slide forward and back on the footpegs without getting hung up. I looked for airman boots at an Army surplus store but came up empty (they tend to have a smooth sole).

I haven't been down so I don't know how they'd hold up, but I'm happy with them. They don't look too bad with jeans.

David.

I wear SIDI champion tepor boots.

they look like this, but shorter and one less strap:

I couldnt find a picture of it which makes me think its not available any longer.


If I had to guess, I'd say this boot replaces the one I have since its so similar (except mine has the straps like above.


Good boot for under $200. I'm still wearing mine 3+ years later.

Right now I am wearing East German military boots. I found them at Bud's, Wal-Marts closeout stores, years ago. Best boots I ever owned. I bought the wool p-coat also, but never wear it.
