Sidi discovery boots

[Moki]

They look quite good.
Same sole as the Fly Stinger ATV.
But waterproof.

Bought those Fly Stinger boots last week ......but trouble getting used to the lack of "feel" and inability to shift gears. Will definitely have to adjust the gear lever up somewhat.

Just picked up a pair of Sidi Canyons.

Needed a pair of boots that did everything. Tried a few different boots on and took on advice on here and figured the Sidi's would do the trick for me, not an easy decision tho.

Already got MX boots if I do a strictly off road ride.

Looking forward to getting em all dirty on Saturday

MX- the $119 cheapies.

First MX boots...so I guess I gotta learn how to shift with the inside of the toe then?

Yeah and if I had 45 feet they would a been perfect.......

[That looks like fun]

Forty five feet you would be a chopped in half with five legs removed centipede type thingy

Shouldn't need to. Sounds like you may need to adjust your gear lever position though.

These are the ones i'm looking at

Hey Phil, i brought a pair of those about 4 months ago. Have stood in a small stream with them on and feet did get a little damp but i have never known any boots to be 100% water tight.

I had these. Had two crashes....and two broken feet !

Luckily, sold them for $200.

In my opinion, they are too soft.

I brought these boots because they are a little on the supple side.I was using my Alpine Stars Tech 8 MX boots and they were to stiff and difficult to walk in.

I am very hapyy with the level of protection the Sidi`s offer

Just in case there is any confusion, I was referring to FORMA GT boots.

I was hoping for waterproof to MEAN waterproof. My BMW boots have been and BMW advertise them as being permanently waterproof. I priced the Sidis and TCX infinities today. Sidis $595 TCX Infinities $695 Ouch. I havent priced BMWs latest version yet

I have looked at many TCX products. They seem to be deliberately over-pricing their products to try and give the TCX brand some form of high status.
Comparable quality cheaper brands are approx half the price.
The TCX Infinities are very lightly made and offer very little protection...and in my opinion are a "lesser" boot than the Forma GT (@ $300ish)

The Sidis are Rolls Royce, in comparison !
