These fit me great. Look great with m/c gear or street clothes. Great for wearing around the office. Still a bit stiff compared to a regular casual shoe or sneaker but that's ok. They are supportive and protective where they need to be for motorcycle use and feel just as good as my old Cortech Solution boots when riding. I forgot I had new shoes on. Thumbs up. :thumb:

The only thing I think they need is a gel insole or something. The oem one is pretty thin/hard.

Pretty cool. I use to ride in Sidi bicycling cleats many moons ago.

Are they as breathable as they look?

Well, keep in mind that the Cortech Solution waterproof boots were my first pair of motorcycle boots. No air through those at all. But with these I can feel the breeze between my toes. :-)

Ooo, I like those. Trying to walk around campus in boots is pretty much impossible, and regular shoes don't offer enough protection. Right now I just wear tennis shoes, but those would be an ideal compromise. Too bad they are $130. :(

I have a pair and they've been great - both comfortable and supportive. Great for middle of the road temperatures here in TX. CLose to 100 degrees and the perforated footwear wins. Below 60 and you wish for more coverage and or insulation. Anywhere in between they work very well. Also comfortable walking around and they don't stand out like racing boots do.

I just picked a pair of these up on Fri. Good to hear people are enjoying them. Seem like they should be comfortable to walk in.

They look nice and I'm sure being SIDI they'll be made well. My neighbor has a pair that he likes a lot.

After breaking two bones just above the ankle many years ago I myself would be concerned about supportive ankle protection. My wifes boss also broke a bone just above the ankle while not wearing supportive boots in a low speed tip over accident. His foot was stuck under the bike.
