Just wondering, see such a variety of price on all gear depending where you look.

I spent hours shopping online for the Sidi Rain boots for Col's birthday (the ones which are no longer Sad ) and the cheapest I found was £109, plus vat plus packing. But that website didn't have online ordering and they didn't return my emails or phonecalls!

£99 is a bargain!

I paid £95 for some Sidi rains at the NEC.

If you can wait then get them at a big bike show, if not, £99 is a bargain.

sidi vetebrays are good price.

got mine for 150, from j&s and they are cheap.

if you can go and try on a pair in a random shop. if you like them, get them off that site. You dont want to buy boots that you have no idea if they are comfortable or not. or even what size you need. e.g. all my regular shoes/trainers are 10. i needed 9 bike boots...

Yeah the VERTEBRA 2 boots are a good price. Like Claud says though, try them on somewhere first. I'm a size 8 usually but when I bought these boots I needed a size 9.

Yes you'd definately need to try some on.

My bike boots are size 14 UK and I take size 12 shoes.

Wow thanks I was actually gonna ask is there a size diff, cause I'm size 11 shoe UK but had a feeling I'd need a diff size for these.


Thanks all!

They are italian boots and italians have small feet, so you can be sure you'll need a bigger size.

Does seem a pretty good price, you may do better at a bike show.

I have Sidi Squeaky Vertebras! Nice at bike meets, squeak squeak squeak as you walk along.

I must get round to rubbing a light coat of oil on to the back of the boots.
