Don't know if anyone Interested but taz in Peterborough are selling the supertech r GP only. Size 9, 10 and 11 for £229 thunk they might be last years though.

I use the Sidi waterproof boots. Think they are called Black rain evo or something, very waterproof, not sweaty and most important they work well in a crash. I had a crash at about 90mph and had no injury.

 

AS Supertech R's and Sidi mega goretex for winter/rain! Both excellent boots.

 

I've got Sidi Vertigo mega goretex. Kinda regret not getting b2s instead.

The calf adjustment is useless unless you have the Hulks calfs or wear your pants inside your boots.

Brilliant otherwise.

 

Chiming in on the boots front. I used to wear oxtars flagship boot but when they finally wore out (eventually fell to bits) after years of fantastic service I fancied something a bit different had a look at the astars supers bit the fit was a bit iffy on one foot. Tried sidi and they do different fits in different boots. Vertigo to narrow for my feet vortices, perfect.
They are as soft as a soft thing but the are sturdy as. No lateral flex as they have a full hard hinge on the outside and inside of the ankle and the arch support is great for my flipper shaped feet. Not quite as quick to put on as oxtar but once you get the nack they are quick enough.
On a slight practical tangent; the hard outer shell folding down is a godsend if you need to drop your suit a little if you get caught needing......

 

I have just bought a pair of the new SIDI ST's, i always wear sidi's i find them extremely comfortable.

 

they look very cool i had sidi vertigos and alpinestars smx plus last ,found the a stars more comfy so sold the sidis then the astars :roll: but theres no mistaking they were both top notch boots

 

might be

 

Really glad I found this thread as I am looking at getting some decent boots!! The ones I have at the minute are useless!! I noticed that no one has commented on RST tractech's?! Is this because they are crap?? I just been looking on the internet and they keep cropping up, should I be avoiding them? Also, when buying boots do you generally buy your standard shoe size or do they fit slightly differently?

Cheers, Ste.

 

I just checked out my Sidi STs and they bend over sideways to the inside. I didn't think that they would because of the hinged bit, but the inside one doesn't go down as far.

 

+1 i found a stars to be a lot comfier than sidis but both good boots

 

Thanks!! I think im gonna splash out a bit more and get some A'stars, like you say steffy you only have two feet!! Would be stupid skimping on safety. Might have to order some off internet and return them if they dont fit, theres nowhere near me that sells decent boots!!!!

 

Bike mag has a dainese supplement where their boot designer talks about their technology and design. They have just released some new ones that might be worth a look. I've got the astars supertech r and they are by far the comfiest boot I've tried.

 

Also worth checking out TCX - a quick search will find quite a few places selling them for half price, so they wouldn't be much more than the RSTs. Get the ones with torsion control.

 

That's great! I think whilst I'm at it I may aswell get some gloves and trousers too! Do you think she would give me a deal or do u think that might be a bit cheeky?
