I purchased the Euro version of the Sidi Adventure about a month ago. Only had a few chances to ride with it before the snow fell, but so far, I'm loving it. I wanted the waterproof leather/gore-tex version rather than the lorica/water-resistant-membrane version available in the U.S. I waited to buy until our annual trip to Germany and when it was all said and done (euro/dollar conversion, return of tax at airport, etc.) I paid a few dollars less than I would have for the U.S. Sidi Adventure here in the U.S. Very happy with this boot. It needed no break-in time and fit perfect, true to size, and comfortable as can be. Looking forward to wearing them enough to fully develop the "Sidi squeek" since I only got to use them enough that it is just starting.
