Sidi Vortice Air Boots

It was thought that the award winning Sidi Vertigo Corsa boot was the pinnacle of sport boot technology. Until today that is as Sidi is proud to introduce the next step in the evolutionary chain: The “Vortice”. The latest in technology combined with the great skill and workmanship of Sidi’s Italian based factory technicians’ blend in a whirl of fresh solutions to satisfy a rider’s desire for safety and comfort. 

Features:

  • Constructed of Lorica and is lined with Teflon vented mesh. Only Sidi goes to trouble and expense of creating a multiple liner boot system in its racing boots. Lorica reg; is a composite micro fiber material created from strands that are so fine, each one is less than one thousandth the thickness of silk. When injected with special resins, these fibers act like natural leather skin, but with the addition of better strength, softer texture, lighter weight and better moisture protection.
  • Sidi has added a small elastic panel to aid in a smooth zipper operation as it allows a bit of movement via the elastic as the zipper passes over the rider’s ankle ball.
  • The rear upper part of the boot is made up of the following mechanisms:

    A) The TECNO CALF TENSIONER mechanism adjusts the leg circumference. Placed in the back of the boots upper, it works through a nylon wire that hooks directly to the shin plate;

    B) The TECNO SHIN TENSIONER mechanism helps the TECNO CALF TENSIONER close the leg upper on the front part of the boot. The two lateral nylon braces join the ankle joint with two screws that are protected by nylon caps. This system is reinforced with fiberglass, supports the ankle and is easy to replace. This system allows excellent flex movement front-to-back while being firm side-to-side.
  • Air Ventilation System: a third brace is positioned on the outer-lower part of the boot and features an air intake that can be operated by an aerodynamic shaped button.
  • Tecno Instep Tensioner, a fastening system on the front part of the foot, on the instep.
  • Shock Absorbing Heel Cup
  • Fully vented
  • Shin Plate
  • Gear Change Pad
  • Vortice Slider: toe slider is made in nylon reinforced with fiberglass. It is fitted with a new air intake and an innovative alloy insert.
  • Racing SRS Sole: all new sole is constructed of a polyurethane and rubber blend.

Please Note: Both colors feature Sidi's calf tensioner mechanism, though the Black/White boot image excludes it.

Ultimate Protection My first serious pair of motorcycle boots, and oh what a pair they are. Great sole feel, excellent range of motion in the ankle, amazing styling, replaceable insert for front of boot sole, and everything is replaceable (EVERYTHING, even the entire bottom sole). No fiddling with any quick tie system or lacing system. Drop your foot in, and adjust the three tensioners-you're good to ride. I went for the black/yellow for visibility. I wear a size 48 normally, but decided to order a size 47-like the idea of having a snug fit-no tightness issue at all. Can't recommend enough! April 18, 2013
Lacking medial support NOTE: I have not worn these boots while riding. I share from an off bike perspective - for return purposes - against the Alpinestars Supertech-R, and Dainese Torque RS Out. The ample lateral ankle bracing doesn't connect to anything except leather on the medial side. If your heel touches down on the medial side of the ankle, or if something gets tangled that causes a medial twist, the boot offers - in my opinion - inadequate support. My last track crash involved a medial twist. I was not wearing these boots, but after purchasing and testing on my still raw ankle I'm unfortunately unconvinced they would perform. You can easily bend the ankle to the inside well beyond its natural range with no mechanical stop or slowdown. I wish this were different. Why Sidi didn't continue the plastic heel around to connect to the medial side brace mystifies me. They are a beautiful boot, that offer a lot of support, and so many other features, I wish it were not so. When compared against the Alpinestars Supertech-R, or the Dianese Torque RS (in/out), they lose. Both these alternative boots performed better in my crude, twist-my-raw-ankle-by-awkwardly-pushing-it-in-unnatural-angles-to-the-medial-side-yet-not-on-a-bike-(now I need Advil) test. So I'm returning the Sidi boots. However, I'm still torn between the Supertech-R and Dainese Torque RS. The Supertech seem to provide the most amount of support, and they are ridiculously comfortable (they really do feel like slippers), but they're a bit clunky/bulky. Once again I wish the Italians had made a boot feel as technically supportive, but the Dainese ever so slightly don't: the ankle support is external, which wouldn't be an issue except that the upper portion of the boot fits a bit loose nullifying the supportive effort (maybe with huge calves your ok?? Even with the calf adjustments at their tightest they're still loose on me), and their lateral sliders are much higher on the boot, risking a touch down of heel rubber before the slider can do its job. I hope this helps someone in their decision, and doesn't just frustrate. Good luck! March 26, 2013
Feels like air! wakka wakka ;-) Putting them on it felt like a pair of Ski Boots. Complicated but rather worth it. The first steps I took I almost fell forwards as the flexibility is nothing like I expected. So free!!! The Dorsiflexion and Planter flexion is amazing. The soles almost felt invisible but standing on the pegs of my bike there so solid. To walk in them is so easy. Only draw back is I can't seem to get the top ratchet tight enough (I wear my Ski Boots tight but these arnt Ski Boots) The leather pants with built-in shin pads might fix that? Also the front vents were a bit off center, fixed with a screw driver in 1 min. Its still winter in Wisconsin so I haven't ridden in them yet so I can't judge the airflow. Overall a stunning piece of technology with amazing flexation! Plus definite limits. February 11, 2013
Awesome Boots! These boots are great. Only downside is price. I'd say go up a size when buying January 7, 2013
Great protection and adjustability Good product, great protection, lots of adjustability and the replaceable foot pads are great! May 14, 2012
Very Impressed! Well Protected! Boot is true to size and adjustable in so many ways that just about any foot/leg combination will work. They were surprisingly comfortable to walk in as well. On the bike, I forget they are there until I need them. As for safety: I had a moderate spill while wearing them and put some scratches on the areas of thick, protective plastic, but was PERFECTLY PROTECTED by the boot. I will never ride without these!!! April 22, 2012
helluva boot This boot is a bit restrictive but it offers a ton of protection. expect to do a lot of 'break in'. I found the boot to be very narrow, otherwise a good fit. April 3, 2012
Very Impressed! You definitely get what you pay for with this boot. It is very comfortable, no break in required, and looks great. It is surprisingly MUCH lighter than I expected in a full boot. Airflow when vents are open is certainly noticeable. Haven't crashed in them yet & don't plan to, but because they're so light, I'm curious how well they would hold up in an impact.

Worn my new boots like 6 times and now they sound like a pair of strangled bag pipes
Searching the internet people put all sorts of lubricants on the hinges or scuff up the lorica
Is this effective? Would a washer (of sorts) help? Like a really thin piece of teflon. Do you guys know if anyones tried this? Or is this just a norm.

Answer: 
Wouldn't recommend altering the construction of your boots(washer) or spraying a bunch of goop on them. My ST's squeak a little too. I just figure for the short time I'm actually walking in them I'm usually around folks who's riding boots are squeaking too. Wouldn't worry about it, besides the squeak just calls peoples attention to those awesome boots.

Answer: 
I used some silicone spray. took off some of the protective plastic and sprayed it on. worked a treat for me. Try to find a lubricant that will "dry" as in wont stay in a liquid and run out of the joint
