I hope this is not my legacy

When I was looking to buy a pair of motorcycle boots, I spent a long time making a decision. I ended up with a pair of Sidi B2 boots, and I thought I would share my thoughts on them for other people who are looking at the same market. What I wanted was a pair of boots which were 100% waterproof, without looking like wellingtons. I wasn’t after a race boot, or anything particularly space age, just something I wouldn’t be embarrassed to wear when not on the bike that would also keep me dry. There isn’t a huge amount of choice in this area of the market, but there are a few good options, including the Spada ST1, the Alpine Stars S-MX and the TCX SS. I was reluctant to spend a lot of money, but in the end I decided it would be better to have a boot which I liked and wanted to wear year round than something I only look to in the rain.

So after a couple of months of riding with them I can summarize: They are totally dry. They are warm, but not too warm. They do look good. The impact protection feels *really* sturdy, though I haven’t tested it But… They are quite hard to walk in (solid soles), and they do still look pretty ridiculous if you are not on a bike. Plus they are fairly expensive (£210 RRP, although I paid £142 delivered). Overall I’m fairly happy with the boots and would buy them again and not hesitate to recommend them to someone if they like the styling (which obviously may not appeal to all). Sidi also includes a bunch of stickers in the box, which is always a winner with me.
