dlaing Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'm looking for a hybrid motocross/enduro boot right now, something that one can walk in, but lots of strength. Ciao, Steve G. That would be ideal. I have not seen anything close. Something well padded, heavily shelled, but with a hinged ankle. A sturdy, protective but slim toe, would also be nice. I love my Sidi Vertigo Corsa Air. It has good bracing, but I fear the plastic bits might just as easily increase injury as reduce it. My Sidi Sympatex touring boots are crash tested without injury But my Sidi boots have no padding other than for comfort, and offer no where near the protection of dirt bike boots.

gallo_se Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Héy, nice boots!!! Are they only waterproof or really impermeable? How high are they? here are the specs: Waterproof Leather/1150 Denier Nylon Upper Waterproof/Breathable Sympatex Plus Bootie Aerospacer Mesh Collar Lining Flex Cuff Heavy Duty Casted Hardware FPS Footbed with Dual Shock Pads and Antibacterial Treatment Polyurethane Midsole Composite Shank Aggressive Slip-Resistant Outsole with Tire Tread Design Available in Medium and Wide Widths since there is the sympatex membrane, that is the same used for riding boots, i would say they are impermeable, up to the top. They are 8" tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
