I was going to say something like "something sounds a bit tight", but I'm far too polite!

Is why I feel that 'Red Bands' would suit her better....good in the wet too...

pleased its not must mine that do that. If you wear spurs, the jingle masks the squeak.

Hiya,

I recently went through the same dilema, and even though it was probably easier over here with the wide range and sizes available, I still had trouble finding the right boots.

I eventually decided on the Sidi Jasmine Tepor, but couldn't get my size. They had been discontinued and replaced with the Sidi Way Tepor so I ordered them instead. When they arrived I tried them on and they fitted like a glove - until I tried them on over my leathers!! Couldn't get the bastard zip up.

I ended up buying some "no brand" boots from a "supermarket bike store" nearby as I needed them quickly as we were going on holiday (Dainese leathers with a pair of Johnny Rebs wasn't going to be a good look!). First ride and I couldn't find the gears, they were too big and by the end of a weeks riding it felt like I was wearing gumboots.... My fault for the rush purchase....

So, back home I decided to persevere with the Sidi's hoping they would stretch like the other ones, got the old coathanger on the job and managed to get them up. After a few rides they are great. I'd been recommended the Sidi Vertebra because of the tightening thing at the back but wasn't looking for full on race boots, something I could walk in (without squeaking!). I know of girls who wear them over here and like them.

Good luck and if there is anything in the UK that you want an opinion on just holler.

All good, I suspect these are better boots and I do very much fancy the fit of these ones

Well I think I got confused with the Vertebras and Vertigos.....

I still can't work out which is which, but anyway, I must have "cankles" cos the one without the screw contraption at the back I couldn't do up over my normal leathers..... I didn't dare try it over my set of the leathers with the protection in the calves.... that would have been a bit too mortifying!!!!!! ("supercankles")

Glad you got something you're comfortable in and happy with!!!

Happy riding...

Yeah mine have the screw contraption...I can even do them up over my leathers due to that

They are Vertebras and Vertigos...Vertigos is the model and they have the 'Verebra system' in them (the armoured archillies dodads)

AND thanks - Hope you get back to Welly soon given the statement in your location thingame.

There I go pulling out all the technical speak I know
