    Speed Boots - Sidi copies. Anyone had a pair?

    Looking at new boots, and came across these:

    Has anyone had any experience with them. Obviously they look good but after reviews on quality.

    Cheers

    I got some Garene? boots like that from Cycletreads for similar money and they are mint. Very good quality. My partner crash tested them and they held up perfectly.

    I got a pair exactly the same for like 1/3 of the price on Ebay,
    Good boot but get a size bigger than what you already are and they arnt as waterproof as some of the other ones floating around,
    Would much prefer another pair of those Exustar boots, best ones I ever owned.

    Bigger than your normal shoe size? Any ideas on the fit compared to Sidi (as they do look very similar)?

    Go to Alibaba.com, they sell those boots by the truckload. Around $100 USD, but you get what you pay for. You want my advice, pay the extra money for something like SIDI, Alpinestars etc
