Picked this one up on the recommendation of Chris on staff. So far, it's help shield me from the worst of my highway riding and it's lasted me multiple hour rides without feeling uncomfortable. The modularity is great for scooting around the neighborhood and I like the interior sun visor so I can toggle depending on the weather.
Finally found my boot,Sidi crossair x, thanks Brian
Was struggling finding a boot that fits wide feet. I wear a 12 wide in hokas & euro size 47 in Forma boots for comparison. Brian had me measure my foot & insole length & I was skeptical that he was recommending a Sidi boot & also going down a size to a euro 46. He diagnosed my foot problem correctly, I had been sizing up on boots to gain width when I just needed a wider boot without extra length. The crossair x fits just right, very comfortable, ankle feels very supported, good peg feel, no problems with shifting or braking, feels light on the bike, fast break in time. Very impressed with the boot. The search is finally over.
Best boot I've ever worn. Love the ankle and overall support. I've owned most of the other brands and continue to come back to the SG12. I ride fast desert, and track so I prefer a stiffer more supportive boot. If I were riding slow trails all the time I might go with a less supportive/more flexible boot. I personally use this boot for everything and love it.
These feel like real protection. My Vendramini Lusakas fit like the proverbial glove, but can't hold a candle to these for sheer confidence. Very nice boots. Gaerne and Atomic for the win!
