Which on of those 2 ? :-) i'm really hesitating which one is better... 90% road (paved) trips and some walking 10% offload soft / light; Need one pair to use while bike touring riding and travelling which one ?
This boot should last for years. I have only had these a short period but I just got back from a 3 day ride. They are comfortable when worn for most of the day. Standing on pegs they are just stiff enough but easy to walk in. No time needed for breaking in but they will even be more comfortable once they are like with any boot. Only 4 stars because only had boot short time and buckles made of plastic see how they hold up.
I have had these boots for about 4 years (purchased from Atomic Moto) and worn them in all kinds of conditions...rain hot mud pavement walking around street riding and adventure touring. They have held up great and are still waterproof. These boots are flexible enough to give excellent ankle movement but offer good support and protection. With that great movement though comes the sacrifice of the support for more heavy duty off road use that you might get from a full MX boot. These were a great compromise between those MX boots and something like a Danner work boot.
I had two zippers fail on my Badland Pro pants. Brian arranged for Klim to repair them with no hassle, excellent service by Atomic Moto (as I've come to expect) and nice to know Klim stand behind their products.
This is my second pair of Sidi Adventure 2 boots. I purchased the first pair seven or eight years ago and rode across Europe\Russia with multiple days of rain. The boots were awesome and always kept my feet dry and are still in excellent condition. When I decided to purchase a second pair, in brown, Brian at Atomic Moto was able to provide them when other major retailers did not have availability.
Super comfy right out of the dam box. And as usual for Alpine stars riding gear the quality was top-notch.
Absolutely love my Tech 7. This is my 2nd pair that I'm buying in last 4 years. These shoes you can wear them instantly (from box to bike) without a break in period
These boots are actually lighter than I thought they would be and are very comfortable. Surprising for a full protection boot!
