Sidi Aria Gore-Tex Motorcycle Boots for Men & Women - Waterproof Riding Boots with Ankle Protection - Perfect for Street Biking, Touring & Adventure Motorcycles

The size was just a bit large but when winter arrives it'll be perfect with heavier socks.Just holding it and looking it over says quality and with great aesthetics.Sidi boots are Italian made and designed for motorcycle riders. This pair is made of goretex and is completely waterproof. The fit is snug and that's what you want. In case of crash you don't need your boots flying off. I recommend wearing around the house a few times to break them in before riding. They are very stiff to begin wtih.The attention to detail in design and manufacture is second to none. My last pair lasted 15 years until I wore a hole in the sole. The zipper pull gave out at 10 years and I used a paperclip the last 5 years. Otherwise the boots are still in great shape. Not a single stitch came undone.I'm used to Sidi race boots but wanted something a little more grown up looking for riding around. These fit like the Vertigos and other Sidis but are more "touring" and look like regular boots when you're riding in jeans or touring pants. The one big difference I feel is the height of the sole plus toe box is a little higher than the Vertigos, so moving around the brake and clutch is a little different.I tried a few sizes but these boots just never fit. The zipper area was just too loose no matter what boot size I got. The Velcro is just a tiny patch at the very top of the boot so the lower shin and ankle area never snug to my leg. Very sad these never worked out. They look great and feel very stiff with protection.Boots are cool and very comfortable. They are not very flexible so shifting could be a problem. Had them for a year and a half and have been very pleased with them. Still look new!Been using for about 4 months, no problems at all.Great fitting and comfyBelli! Esteticamente li trovo bellissimi, sono molto protettivi per essere stivali da turismo. Sono più bassi e più rigidi rispetto ai miei vecchi xpd e provocano qualche sfregamento sulla tibbia. Non ho avuto occasione di testarli per un lungo tragitto (di solito faccio giri da 400/500 km. in giornata e quindi la comodità per me è fondamentale) quindi spero che si ammorbidiscano con l'utilizzo. Stesso discorso per la pioggia, non so dire se tengano l'acqua ma, essendo in goretex non dovrebbero esserci problemi.Aggiornerò la recensione quando li avrò testati in maniera più intensa.These boots are very high quality. The feeling when you wear them is very comfortable and under weather conditions or cold, they are very good. The reinforced areas makes you feel very well protected from ankles down to the tip of your feet.The only warning I'd give to everyone is the size: I wear a size 46 and I had to order a 47, because the 46 is very tight in the instep of the foot. I ordered the 47 after returning this 46...and it is like a glove!Einer toller Schuh mit schönem Design. Sehr gute Verarbeitung. Etwas eng (sportlich) geschnitten. Für Tourenfahrer eine Nummer größer nehmen (oder anderes Model)! Sohle sehr rutschfest und stabil.The boots are performing as I would expect from Sidi. I have had Sidi boots before and they have never let me down. Comfortable and well fitting a liovely pair of boots.
