Sidi discovery boots

[Alpha Solo]

I can recommend the Discoveries, a bit soft on protection but waterproof, a bit hot in the summer (but then which boot isnt?)

Jandals are good in summer. Or Crocs.

[Alpha Solo]

I prefer Crocks as you dont get so much gravel between your toes on long rides!

CROCS......snigger. Jandals if it's fine, gummies if it's wet.

Diadora Mud's are available very cheap ($200 and something instead of $400) at the motomail outlet store at the moment. Nice boot too.

I've just been down to try a pair on. Looked and felt like a fine boot for $229, with just enough lateral ankle support. But the biggest size they have is a 43 and it was just a bit snug in the toe box for me. They've got about 10 pairs left, and only 1 of pair of size 43.

If your a size 44 check out my BMW Savanna boots on Trade Me. Awesome boots but my right foot bigger than left and I need 45s. They are 100% waterproof

Hmm, thinking about it. How much abuse have they had in the 3-4 years and how much do they smell?

My feet dont get abused, I have 2 cylinders to protect them!!!!! As for smelling, there inside at the moment so they cant be too bad.

update: they did have one size of 43 left.. i only went to look at gloves, but couldn't resist, they fitted like a, er, glove. i couldn't say no, especially as my boots had demonstrated their worth in today downpour.. (i tried to haggle her down to two notes, but she was having none of it!) gotta say i'm pretty pleased with them..

The discovery boots, once full, won't leak a drop. You'll have to tip them out.

Standing in the river last weekend with the water level up to my crotch, my boots got wet inside.

I will be taking them back for a refund

These should do the trick :-)

Wouldn't have helped Cary. He'd just be lugging more water around with those.

Maybe he needs the bib overall type.

Those Sidi's are nice looking boots. I had some Sidi jobs years ago, and they were great.

Only problem I see is the seam running horizontally across the inside leg. I'll never buy another pair of boots without a single panel inside leg. With my current Gearne boots, this seam is now totally ripped. I often have to wrap duct tape right around the boot now. The boot catching on the footpeg has caused me to drop my bike more than once.

Do ya think a shoe repair place could fix em??Are they good otherwise.

If it was a size 44 you wanted and you wereinterested in the sidi canyons in Chch, Craig at Casbolts is holding a pair for me till next week, you could have a look at/try on...$547 same as motomail
