Sidi Adventure Rain Boots, Black

Mens Motorcycle Touring Safety Footwear

Posted by Tim

Sidi Rain Boot, Black I have spent quite a bit of time reviewing helmets for adventure-touring. However, the second most difficult body part for the adventure-tourer to outfit is the foot. These riders (of which I am one) ride through water, mud, and dust, and still must have a boot that will take them home over the pavement.

The Sidi Adventure Rain Boots are ultra-high-quality footwear that will more than meet the needs of the adventure crowd. These boots tend toward the dirt end of the spectrum in my experience with a replaceable strap system and a rugged dirt sole. These Sidis have some very solid features. First, the boot is of the non-bootie variety. Basically, this means that there is no inner boot that has to be slipped on before the actual boot. This makes the boot narrower and easier to get into. Also, there is no shortage of safety features such as the shock resistant heel cup, which is a very vulnerable area for adventure-tourers. They also have a leather inner anti-wear and heat panel.

The boots come in U.S. sizes 7-13, and many buyers recommend going up a size when ordering. Stylistically, the Sidi Adventures are a subtle but attractive all-black design. I am in the demographic for these boots and will consider them when it is time for my next boot purchase.
