boots

hi guys
been looking for boots i need boots for summer (have another boot for winter/ commuter only)
i need for summer commuting plus trackdays every now and than.

i want perfect protection
comfort easy to put on and off and not to burn my feet

i am thinkin of

sidi vertico for £299 or

sidi st for £274

what is your thoguths or what are you using guys

i know there is alot of you there who commutes daily and who goes to track

 

I have the Sidi Vertigo boots. Had them 8 years now and they are still in good nick. Great comfortable boot, well made and look good.

What about these http://www.megamotorcyclestore.co.uk/tcx-rs2-boots-black/

 

I have those TCX boots in white, lovely they are

 

Had my Sidi Vertigo Airs for 7 years now,so comfortable and great protection. In hindsight I shouldn't have got white ones tho as they're looking a bit weathered

 

I wear Sidi vertigo in summer v comfy can't fault them, the bloke wears Sidi vortice but they too fiddly for my liking

 

I've got some old Sidi's that I've had for a few years now and as much as I like them they just aren't as good or as comfy as my Alpinestars SMX-plus.

 

p and h motor in crawley had

http://www.phmotorcycles.co.uk/clothing/motorcycle-boots/st-motorcycle-boots on web and i walk in to shop to see they are actually on sale and for 189.99
got myself a pair instantly.

seems like from reviews they are fast sports/ track boots loads of protection and comfort

 

Alpinestars Supertech R's for me

 

One thing not many people seem to think of when choosing boots is the protection they offer more of if they are comfy and how they look which is fair enough.

I came of at Oulton Park the other week and broke my ankle in 3 places so am in plaster for 6 weeks I was wearing Sidi Vertigo the lady in the fracture clinic said it was the cleanest break she had seen for a high Inpact break so the boots did help as normally with high impact breaks the bones can get messed up , I also own a pair of Sidi Vortice which people have mentioned are a pain to put on which they are, but that said I do believe they would of saved my ankle from breaking as they do have very good protection and I will be wearing them in future .

Just something for people to take in to account when getting boots,

 

I agree with what you are saying Jase, however boots also have to be usable as well. Most/Many track boots wouldn't work if you have to do any amount of walking, say on a ride Skeggy etc. Sometimes there does need to be a compromise.
