Ladies what boots are you riding in?

[tached1000rr]

Looking at boots for the wife, just curious what the TWF ladies are wearing these days?

[Mikey]

My wife has a pair of icons- superduty, I think. She likes them and they seem to have good protection. She actually lowsided in them and they held up very well. They run small, though, so if you go that route order a size larger than you normally would.

Axo Strykers for commuting/shorter rides.

Teknic Violator 2's for longer/more spirited rides.

I've also got a brand new pair of Teknic Freestyles (replaced by the manufacturer under warranty), but I don't wear em.

[azoomm]

Old ones - now my daughters wear them: Sidi Vertigo Corsa

New ones - Sidi Vortice Air Race Boots. Absolutely DIVINE race boots, they open up like ski boots and the bottom of the ball of the foot is replaceable. Fantastic boots.

All purchased from https://www.motoliberty.com

[Ninjakel]

Sidi verts. LOVE them.

I usually wear them almost all the time when i ride now. I used to ride in Doc Martens, but I feel more comfy with the sidi's.

I cant remember the name brand, but mine are made by SIDI, they are mens boots and I've had them a few years with no complaints. I need new ones as I've worn these to death but I havent gotten around to getting them yet. They crash well, they wear well, I love them.

A* SMX-4, they make for both men and women. Mine are silver and black. Absolutely the most comfortable but do make it hard to touch as I can't flex my ankle as much. Just something to consider for the wife since she is already vertically challenged.

[LittleTaz]

Setup Visions, unfortunately, they quit selling them a while back...

[R6Chick]

Sidi's for the track

Nitro boots for the street

[Cutty72]

A* SMX's for both me and comonboys.
she loves 'em and wears them much more than I wear mine.
I usually just throw on my combat boots.

[CrazyKell]

Joe Rocket for the street.

Shopping for new track boots this winter. Going to go Sidi or Puma. Waiting to try on at the bike show.

[HurricaneHeather]

SIDI something. Three people have crashed in them and no broken ankles or feet. One dragged by a truck down the road, one low side ane one hit by a car. :dthumb:

[fnfalman]

I got my piece a pair of SIDI Rose (out of production now).

[skiergirl]

* SMX-plus - great boots, very comfy but they squeak like crazy...

[Mrs. Colleen]

Alpinestars SMX-4...mens.

[lauralynne]

Teknic Violator 2's for longer/more spirited rides.



Violators for me too - only ones that fit my calf. Race & street - I'm on my second pair (just plain wore the last ones out after several years of racing and street use)

[Tsunami]

I got my piece a pair of SIDI Rose (out of production now).

I have those too, because with them I can touch the ground. I also have a pair of A starts track books, its very simple, I forget what model it was. I had to go to the cobber and add an extra sole on though so I can touch the ground.

Hey Ninjakel, how are the docs for riding? I was thinking of getting a pair since it has some decent thick rubber in the front for reach.

[Fleck750]

Sidi Blades. Have crashed in them and I love them.

[Ninjakel]

The docs are good, I rode in them for years....comfy,etc.

Have you heard any horror stories of the new ones being made in China and falling apart? I saw some cheap ones on Amazon.com but everyone is complaining about the quality.

[Ninjakel]

I havent heard anything. All of mine are the ones made in england. Try to find them on ebay.

[HokieDNA01]

Sidi Vertigo Lei's. Love them! And they have an adjustable calf for my thick leathers (and legs)

[z06boy]

My wife wears these...

Setup Vision

I have the same ones. I love them too. Even with the adjustment, it took a while before they broke in enough to get them on over my leathers. I had to zip them up with a pair of pliers for the first few track days. :lol: But now I have no problems at all with them.

They are my every day boots as well as track boots, so I am a little worried about the soles wearing out. I have heard that Sidis are bad for that. They are almost a year old and still holding up well though.

Yeah Chris found his soles wearing quickly when he wore his Verts daily.

[acalliste]

Did he find anywhere good to get them replaced?
