Super Sidi
Love these boots! Everything about them is excellent, just like my previous Sidi's. Love the extra protection they provide while remaining comfortable and they're easy to get on and off. Not quite as easy to get on and off as my touring boots but not much different with a LOT more protection. They're like a rear entry ski boot. Walking in them is also comfortable too so long as I'm not going for a day of shopping at the mall. Haven't had the vents open yet to test breathablity but I have no doubt that they will add more air flow than without them so I see no downside. These boots, however did run a little larger than my previous Sidi's. I wear a 9 1/2 shoe, wore a 44 in my touring style boots but found a 44 a tad large in these. Went to a 43 which is perfect. My garage now includes a K1300 S.

Quality Protection/Performance
As a Firefighter/E.M.T with many years of experience I have responded to many motorcycle crashes. Injuries to feet/ankles are some of the most common and severe that I have seen. These boots are not inexpensive by any means but the level of protection they provide is well worth it. First, with three ways to secure these boots to your feet (side zipper, velcro, and clamps) they are not going to come of with ease. High speed impacts really do tend to blow your boots off. If your foot protection comes off at the initial impact obviously they can't protect you during subsequent impacts. Second, the external bracing and padding provides protection against side to side forces and impacts focused on the ankle, arch and the heel. The soles allow very good feel on the pegs. They are just a little awkward to walk around at first but you'll get used to it right away. The venting is nice. Riding in the Texas heat, these boots allow enough airflow through to keep my feet from overheating. In my opinion these boots should be required equipment for any aggressive street rider or track day racer. Spend the money protect your feet and ankles ( it's very hard to walk without them.) By the way did I mention that I currently have three screws in my right foot from a 55mph motorcycle impact back in 1993 that blew my 8" lace up logger boot off my foot. I was lucky to even be alive after that crash, but was blessed enough to be able to continue my profession and my riding passion. Many others have not been so fortunate . I haven't been riding without high quality protection/performance gear since and never will ( ALL THE GEAR, ALL THE TIME ). I highly recommend these boots to any rider who is looking for the high quality protection and performance that aggressive riding demands..

A piece of mind...
I have just gotten back into street biking last year, after a long break of ten years. I was using my old Alpinestars SMX GoreTex boots when I realized how far along on a technical and safety stand point boots have come. The AStars had no lateral support and did not feel adequately safe anymore.
I have raced Supermoto for many years and I have seen what a broken foot or ankle looks like. During my racing years I had been sponsored by Sidi and always felt comfortable and safe in their boots and so I made a choice to stick with Sidi and try their ST boot. I wear a size 9.5 to 10 in regular shoes and the size 44 from Sidi fit me perfect. Absolutely no break-in time, felt super comfortable right out of the box. No mis-shifts, no slipping of the pegs. I like that I can adjust the calf diameter in a cinch, as I sometimes use riding pants that will go over the boots and other times my one-piece suit which goes inside the boots. In side by side comparison the Sidi boot is so much more stiffer without feeling like my foot is boxed in or hampered in any movement. I can not even feel the extra rigidity the boots provide, but it sure gives me a piece of mind.
Getting in and out the boots is very easy and quick. I just wish that they would import the GoreTex version that is available in Europe, as I now have to carry a set of rain covers for the boots. Overall the quality is great and I am very satisfied with my purchase. As always Revzilla's service is excellent

Great boot
bought these less then a month ago. Already crash proven. Took a lowside at 100+. Boots held up great. All the damaged parts of the boot are on places where you can replace the parts. Great boot, great buy

Excellent Boots!
I came from wearing SIDI B2's. The fit was exactly the same, which was awesome. Took a little getting used to or breaking in since it's a lot stiffer than the B2's, but after a couple of laps on the track, it felt great.

Amazing Boot
This is my first Motorcycle boot and I think it is great. I tried many different brands and styles on and none were as well fitting as the SIDI ST. They are very comfortable and while being a bit odd, you can walk around in them comfortably for an extended period (going to the mall etc). Comfortable to rid in and they didn't take long to wear in either

Excellent Boots!
I have yet to put the boots through their paces, but after asking questions, researching and trying on various brands, sizes and so forth, I decided on these. And I am glad I did! Fit is a touch big, but that is while wearing street socks, not riding socks. The adjustments are many from both sides of the quick releases, so once you get suited up and fitted, its a snap to get in them and go. Size is pretty close as I said, I normally wear a 10-10.5 US, so an 11 is not too far off. Walking is a bit of a challenge, but I do not plan to go to the mall or something in them. I figure for the occassional track days, and mostly street riding, these boots will do nicely. Kudos to Sidi and Rev-Zilla for top notch products and service!
