    Do it! Fantastic boot.. Treated myself to a pair last year before the annual European trip and so glad I did as it pissed it down all week! My feet would have been sopping wet every day if I kept with my previous Sidi's.

    And yes leathers do fit into the inner boot.

    Got a pair of Supertech R last year after 5 years of SMX4's.
    The Supertech R felt really funny at first, but after 3-4 rides they are soooo comfy and feel really secure.
    Got a pair of Sealskinz socks for those cooler days and rain

    I'm also looking at these after using some smx's for about 8 years then trying some sidi cobras which I just can't get used to after the smx's. Currently selling my sidi's on ebay to help fund some new alpinestars.

    Probably the comfiest boots I've worn to date. Just a word of advice if you ride quick on the road or do trackdys keep an eye on your toe sliders.. I learnt my lesson the hard way with both mine worn through the boot. Now I have a £350 set of boots with holes in. Don't be that guy!!

    I've switched back to my sidi vortice's now. They come with metal toe sliders as standard and they are a tighter fit for track riding.

    Fantastic boots and very comfortable. Off all my boots these have to be the tops and very good protection. Not worn by most of the motogp rider for nothing. easy to put on and fit well against your leathers, loads of adjustment with the ratchet :) Go for them. Pity they aren't available in Repsol Orange, like Pedrosa's
