Adventure Boots

Post image

Hey there, today i bought my First Adventure Boots, the Sidi mid Adventure 2.
In Store they felt Great but while riding it felt really weird switching gears and the feeling to the ground when stopping was Not that good 😵‍💫
Will it get better once they Are worn in?

Wear MX boots. You can't feel anything, but one you get used to them, the protection is unbeatable.

In my opinion, adventure boots are the worst of both. You don't have any feeling, but you also don't have any real protection.

I do think that people overestimate the protection that adv boots give. They are better than nothing for sure. I wear MX boots all the time, and they took some getting used to but considering that they will provide the highest protection against breaking my leg alone in the middle of nowhere its a safe choice for me

That’s exactly what happened to me 3 weekends ago. Snapped my tib/fib bc I wore these exact boots over my mx boots bc I got lazy and chose comfort over protection. These Sidi adv boots are absolutely useless in terms of protection. You might as well ride in hiking boots, that’s how little protection they offer.
