Plus 1!!Hipshot said:I have the Scouts and love them. I am able to walk around quite comfortably when investigating old mines and such. I couldn't do that in some of the "plastic" boots I tried. My main criteria for boots, beyond basic construction, waterproof and protection was to be able to walk out should I get stranded. Sometimes in Montana that can be a good long ways.
Gaerne G - Adventure Boots. I have a wider foot and cannot get my feet into even one size over Sidi's. The Gaerne's are absolutely waterproof. ::009::~TABASCO~ said:What the heck boots are you looking at, or ride with now ? I have a pair of sport touring boots Ive worn on my FJR for several years, but they are street boots.. Ive been reading my butt off about adventure type boots. I think I have it down to three or four pairs.. And they are all about the same price.
What are you looking at? What do ya have? Have you been looking, if so at what brand or style ? I know boots are like an oil thread, but would like to know what you LIKE and DONT LIKE.......
Looking at:
Sidi Adventures
TCX Infinity
Etc...
Etc......
These types.... Ive changed my mind about ten times... Are the TCX Infinities ADV off road boots? I have not decided on anything and not locked onto anything..... If ya got something you like, spill the beans....... ! ! ! ! ! ! Thanks O0
What are your thoughts on the ankle protection on these? Can they double as an off-road boot with moderate protection?Storm said:I also have the Gaerne Adventures...nice boot, fit was a just a teeny bit big for me (10 US), but that leaves room for double socks or just for my feet to breathe. Comfortable to walk with, but they are not made for walking a long distance. Haven't rode in them in the rain, but they look like they will keep my feet dry.
I have the Disco's for off roading and SIDI On Roads for tarmac.hANNAbONE said:SIDI..THE WAY TO GO...I HAVE THE DISCOVERY MODEL.
I also have the Sidi Discovery Rains and chose them over the Adventure model. I tried them both on and the Adventure model is a lot siffer, which probably offers better protection off road. However, I don't plan on riding anything too crazy on my S10, (mostly fire roads and forest service roads), so I wanted a boot that was going to be a bit more comfortable. The Adventure offers a lot better protection than a touring boot, but is still reasonably comfortable.hANNAbONE said:SIDI..THE WAY TO GO...ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE DISCOVERY MODEL.
+1 Every Gaerne I have ever had is like that and my Adventure boots stay true to that history. I have tried lots of different boots in different styles but everytime I put on a set of Gaernes I question why I every try anything else. Great Boots ::012::Jerry said:I have the Gaerne Adventure Boot. I can tell you this is the most comfortable boot I have ever put on. I have not put it to the test in terms of durability as I have only had it for about 2 weeks but it truly feels like a boot maker came to my house and custom made a boot for me. Great workmanship.
Good looking boot! I may check at my local dealer and see if he has them in stock!!bloke said:not exactly adv boots but i picked up a pair of these (the rep recommended them) from icon and i have to say after a couple of weeks im very very happy with them, comfy warm water poof and a couple of days i wore them all day at work and i probly walk three to four miles a day on the showroom floor!
