| Re: Quick decision on boots Sidi, have owned multiple pairs, not one complaint. To me they are the Arai/Shoei.
Edit: I have the champions, and yes they are an excellent all around boot.

| Re: Quick decision on boots I went with the roam boot since I got to look at my buddies and they look pretty nice. Couldn't try them on since my foot is alot smaller then his but oh well. We will see when they come in how I like them  |

| Re: Quick decision on boots Well I finally got my boots.
First step was taking out the insole and putting in a nice Dr Scholls Massaging touch insole. Damn these things are comfie and I love the velcro straps over having to tie the laces and worry about getting them caught which I have but luckily didn't drop the bike |
