Just got these last week from Rockymtn.
Sidi has always been a great boot and this is no different.

My dad says they are the best boot he's worn. He checked out all boots after last years leg injury and his age for a comfortable hinged boot. They past the forest trails, mx track and after the huge rainfall, water tightness test. When my beriks wear out I am going to get a pair.

I had Full Bore boots back in the 70's. They were made by Sidi for Joel Robert and they took off. The other great boot was called High Point.
I bought some Sidi's back in '85 and they were great.
I bought a Yamaha AXO outfit in '88 with AXO boots, they were comparable to the Sidi's.
As an older rider, I wanted some ankle support and the double hinge provides ankle support and a better position for shifting and braking.
Let's see some more action pics on that Honda, those are great pics.

Sweet! We''ll be up to ride this weekend, water the track!
Need more berms! Bring a couple of tandems in with some sand and til it up.
btw-The best shot is that slide in the water, bet that was fun!

The pair I had was when they first came out like 7 years ago but essentially the same boot. I wore thru the plastic where the ankle pivot for the upper boot pivots. Once I wore the plastic out the bolt that provides the pivot was eating into the frame above the footpeg. Other than that they were decent. Some bastard stole them and $7000 worth of other tools, pipes etc from me so I replaced then with gaerne Sg10's

One great thing about these boots is they are fully rebuildable. I looked at the Gaerne also and it was a toss up.
I really like the Gaerne Super Motard boots and the 12's.

I have a pair, best boots i have ever had.
you say they are rebuildable?
Mine are wearing out around the left inside bottom hinge.
are you able to buy parts for the top inner part of the boot?
Where can you get parts them from?

Several online companies carry parts like the soles.
Matter of fact, they say the SRS is rebuildable from the base-up and also the soles. That means if you want, you can mix and match different colors to make your boots unique.
This is the US importer.
