Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex Boots - Black After my RST Adventure boots started letting water in, I decided to switch to the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots, and so far I’m really impressed. Comfort was noticeable straight away — they feel great on and didn’t require any painful break-in period.
The Gore-Tex lining has been solid with no water ingress at all, which was exactly what I was looking for after my previous experience. They strike a really good balance in terms of protection too: not as restrictive or bulky as full MX boots, but definitely more supportive and protective than most standard adventure boots.
Overall, they feel well-built, confidence-inspiring, and comfortable enough for long rides and walking around off the bike. Early days, but so far I’ve had zero issues and I’m very happy with the upgrade.
Sidi Mag-1 CE Boots - Black / Black These boots are very comfortable & well made would recommend to anyone.
Sidi X-Power Boots - Blue I’ve had these before in the red colour. So I know how great and comfortable these are to ride in all day and on multiple day trips / 2 week trips. They have so much support too. So new bike new colour way.
Sidi Mid Adventure 2 Gore-Tex Boots - Tobacco Very good quality boots. Seem robust and buckle system quick and easy to use, with a lot of adjustability. Seem comfortable to walk around in, but still breaking in. I went one size up (43 up to 44) so they appear to be an ok width but a fraction too long. The 43 (my usual size) was the right length, but a bit tight for width/toe box. Excellent and efficient service from Sportsbikeshop as usual.
Sidi Mid Adventure 2 Gore-Tex Boots - Black very high quality boots which appear robust. The black ones have an easy to clean surface, the other colours have a more suede like finish. Sizing is difficult to judge as the boots need a bit of breaking in, In the end I decided to play it safe and go for one size up (43 up to 44) in the tobacco coloured ones. Sportsbikeshop delivery and returns service excellent and reliable as usual.
Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex Boots - Tobacco Having never owned a single pair of dedicated motorcycle boots I opted for these after a near miss on slippery ironwork on a wet road. Was a bit sceptical with spending the money at first.
On arrival they felt immediately comfortable and supportive, but give me the freedom I need to walk around on a trail or in a cafe as if they're just regular boots.
I've been through floods in them and my feet have been kept toasty and dry, and they give me a lot more confidence that my ankles and shins are protected if I do happen to take a spill.
As always a fantastic service from SBS
Sidi Vertigo 2 Boots - Black / Black Wore these for my daily 20 minute commute to and from work, then on the weekend if the weather was alright. First few months they were okay, then they started to fall apart. Zips aren't great, had to get the right one replaced, and the sole got worn through super quick.
Overall they're probably quite good if you only go out on the weekend, but I wouldn't be in a rush to buy another pair.
