I bought because a friend urged me to buy SIDI shoes. As soon as I took in hand immediately it was felt that this is a solid shoe. It gives a mega sense of security, I was afraid that it would not be comfortable. It is known that it may not be soft like a touring shoe, but it gives security like an enduro shoe, but it is much more comfortable. For trips to the mountains in them I will not go, but while riding I have a sense of confidence that my legs are protected as they should be. I recommend to every motorcycle tourer, enduro and road fans in one. I've heard that gentlemen on choppers also ride in these boots for safety reasons.
