SAINTDP Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Have been looking on ebay to try and find a set of cheapish boots and have been looking at some from SIDI.There seems to be a lot of SIDI Vertibra for sale and some going quite cheap.Has anyone had any experience with them, just seems to be a lot of the same make up for sale?I also like the look of the SIDI Black Rain boots, same again has anyone had any? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Great boots.But buy a size larger than you need I'm a 9 but need a 10 in Sidi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsisterbiker Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 my brother swears by sidi's and his girlfriend loves hershe's crashed in them twice and the second time they stopped his rear brake peg impaling his ankle. very good boots, though i've heard that the supposedly waterproof black rains aren't (waterproof,that is) generally worth the dosh though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojobanana Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I have Sidi Vertigos and I like them a lot, got £70 or so off by buying them on ebay (after trying on in a shop). Not had an off in them (touch wood) but they are very comfortable and feel reassuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I just got rid of my Sidi's and bought some Alpinestars. Got to say the Alpinestars are ten times better than the Sidi's by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazerboy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 buy a size bigger than you need tho,maybe a size n a half,i had too,but there comfy,but my black rains leak,and right from day one too not what i was expecting from a £150 boot but on ebay you can get em for £130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Had two pairs myself and think they are the dogs danglies. I got the size I normally take and although they were tight as feck for several months they soon gave a bit and are now comfy and snug.

medtec Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I love my sidi's i have had a pair for prob 3 yrs and still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just as an aside, try and go to the local bike shop and try some on see how you get on and as many have mentioned above get a size bigger!Sidi's do have a problem where they let in water when they shouldn't, my pair as good as they were, leaked and they shouldn't have.

Stu Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 the virtigo's fit better then the vertebra's i know someone who has a pair of almost new vertabra's for sale not sure on size possibly 7 or an 8!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMC Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Just thought I'd post an alternative experience with my Black Rain Evo boots. They have been ridden through the last two winters, including some seriously wet motorway riding and have never let in so much as a drop. Excellent boots, though not exactly what you'd call breathable - the only time I have wet feet is in the fine, hot weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmi_929RR Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I've always had Sidi's and loved the older ones, but i bought a pair of the new vertibra's and i didn't like them. I feel they've gone a bit "intergalactic space warrior" with all the fancy lines and buttons but worse than that they seem to bend your leg forward which i don't like at all (so much so i've switched to Alpinestars now).The Rain Evos are excellent, best wet weather boot i've ever worn.

Scorpion Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 i have a set of sidi black rain evos, they are SO comfy, they rly are like slippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I've had my vertigos for 3 years now, and they don't look worn at all, despite being used all year round in all weathers. So comfortable I could and do spend all day in them. I don't have the rain version, but they've never let water in (except when I've left the vents open). I love the look of the new ones, but can't justify buying some one my current ones are still in such great condition. Like others have mentioned, I am a size 10, but had to have 10.5 in sidi's. When I do upgrade, it will definetly be for another pair of sidi's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
