I am trying to decide on some boots ! I have a choice of Alpinestars SMX , Sidi vertebra , and oxtars . Any recommedations will be graciously accepted ! I am not limited to these exact boots the ones listed seem to fall into my price range:cool

I have the Sidi's and love them. People bitch about them not being comfortable to walk in.....but walking ain't what they were made for!:redflip

 

[dedar]

another vote for the Vert2. :thumb

I absolutely love mine. no problems walking in them either, as long as you don't mind a little squeaking...of course you can always lube the plastic for that if it really bothers you.

 

[quackPOT]

Sidi Race Verts all the way!

I love these boots. :love2

 

[Dr.Dover]

Thanks for the opinions keep em comin

 

[NegativeGs]

Just ordered a pair of Sidi Race Verts, let you know next week.

 

[lightner22]

sidi vert2's. I love em. I also have no complaints about walking in them...they are actually more comfortable than alot of shoes I've owned.

 

[adidas]

Im going to be getting a pair of Sidi's myself. Have heard nothing but good things about them:thumb

 

[JohnnyRad]

Ive got Sidi Verts also and no complaints! As for comfort... i put insoles in mine... not that I walk marathons or anything but it helped make them more comfortable.

Dover, just a little info from what I have found from my boot research.

Alpinestars are made fairly narrow.
Oxtar and Sidi are wider. I think the Sidi's are a touch wider than the Oxtars.

I have the Oxtars and like them a lot, although they squeek like something fierce :laughing

I have also wore Vert II's and liked them a lot too.

I don't think you could go wrong with any of those

I have the Sidi Vert's and the Alpinestars SMX Plus and I like the vert's better. The Vert's are far easier to put on/take off, they're lighter, and slightly more comfortable. The vert's have even survived several high speed crashes - I haven't crash tested the Alpinestars yet.

I did feel the need to stick in some gel insoles/arch support on both pairs to get all day long comfort.

I love my S-MX GoreTex boots. I sport tour, and play ride in them. They also squeak when walking.

 

[TeamUrbanRacing]

i have the sidi verts and love them buying a second pair this winter, they also squeak when you walk,

 

[Bet_Winner]

I have SMX and they were too small for my calfs. If your calfs are large, don't get them. They seem like good boots otherwise.

 

[Dr.Dover]

I gots the Sidi Verts for 200 out the door gonna try em next week end Thanks for the opinions

You can get SIDI Vert at newengought.com for $149; however, they only have red/black and blue/black. I want all black SIDI Vert thought.

 

[Dr.Dover]

Well I gotta support my boys at my local shop and I wanted black! I got the Vert 2s not the verts

 

[slider_33]

I have the Vert 2's as well and they are such a great boot and i find them just as comfortable as any shoe i have ever bought good choice!!! Happy Riding

 

[HozerKing]

The Sidi Vert 2s are probly one of the best choices for an agressive ridding boot! I have seen them upclose and the qualily it great on them!

I have choose to get a pair of Prexport 539 WP! $189 I absolutely Love them! They have acle and shin protection with cool looking sole! They are waterproof and I can wear them to the office.

I have like crazy wide feet and big calvs and they still fit very well super comfy on the bike and as I break them in they are becoming more comfy for the all day stuff! I don't like Prexports race titanium line cause I have seen them upclose and well I was diapointed! their street line is absolutely top notch! So for a street they are great! and I'll probly pic up a pair of Verta 2 for the summer next year sometime?

I have the Alpine Stars SMX boots. I have no complaints. They fit right away and there was no break in time.
