Got new boots! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Zuki Dude · 01-10-2006, 11:57 PM

I purchased these today ... Sidi Strada Evo Air Boots. They are really comfortable, and provide the protection I feel necessary. I was able to try on various brands like that of Icon and Joe Rocket. I chose these based on the more conservative looks, protection and comfort. They also fit nicely under my jeans and look like regular shoes. Thanks for the input ... you know who you are.

They look alot like my Sidi B One's...

Good choice!

Zuki Dude · 01-11-2006, 01:16 AM

Yes, I think mine are the vented kind, yours are the waterproof version. Nice either way!

This reminds me that I need to upgrade my boots... Mine started to let water in (they are not Sidi).

**Uncle Bob** · 01-11-2006, 11:11 AM

Louis, you're such a pessimist, they let water out, that's a good thing.LOL

After all that was said in another thread, I still haven't got the Sidi B yet. I'm quite the procrastinator.

They look good. Should of got the Alpinestars SMX-Plus instead. May cost a little more but they are worth it.

Nice boots Zuki, they might look good for an M50 rider?

I wish I had them when I had the M50. They are super comfortable and I wear jeans over top of them; they appear to be normal boots to the uninformed.

I really like them. Being designed more for the sport-bike scene, one of the nicer things is that it does not feel like "work" boots due to the low profile toe area.

Zuki, where'd you pick them up from? Looks good!

jpwM50 · 01-24-2006, 04:01 PM

Maybe here?

I got them from another dealer down here in North Miami - Palmetto Motorsports. Didn't want to buy online because I needed to fit them; priced ended up good so I bought them. They were $200 ... and no shipping charges nor wait time.
