    Ordered Myself a Xmas Present Today!

    After looking and reading, and watching video reviews for weeks, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of the Sidi ST boots today. I'm on a mission to upgrade my riding gear over the winter since right now it consists of work boots, a decent textile Jacket, and an okay pair of gloves..

    http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...-ST-Boots.aspx

    This was the xmas present, but I'm thinking I'll need a nice birthday present in Jan., a tax return splurge in feb and a couple more along the way. Like to get a two piece suit, some better gloves, riding jeans, and a new textile jacket. This is all on top of a few choice items i have in mind for the bike.

    At this rate I might be single by spring too....

    Nice boots, you'll like those I've always been a SiDi fan for road boots, I'm on my second season with the SiDi Vortice with great results as far as comfort and quality.

    I'm ordering my xmas gift to myself this weekend (KTM/A* Tech8 boots) and will probably order a new Arai helmet around tax return.

    Nice! Did you try these on at a store before buying though? I find them running very large. a size 10/44 fits me perfect and I am a size 11-12 shoe. I am a big fan of Sidis!

    Nice and i agree on the sizing. they never fit quite right in my size so i have to look at others. Sometimes they are too small and others to big.

    When you shop for gloves- get Helds (Phantoms). Motomarket has them in stock.

    I went to boston motorsports to try them but they only had vortice's and vertigos. The guy in the store has the ST's personally and said they fit pretty much identical to the vortice which felt good in a 45. I wear a size 11 in most shoes.
    The 44's were way to tight and the 46 was swimming so i went with the 45. I ordered them at the store since he cut me a good deal on them. If they don't fit i'll order a set of the new 2011 A* SMX-Plus boots.
