gravelrash 0 Posted October 24, 2014 Had my Sidi vertebrae boots a few years now Chad and they are still good (Apart from key ring loops have replaced the zip tag as they snapped ) but have a good look at the Daytona's Dave mentioned as they get a good write up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadatious 0 Posted October 24, 2014 yeah will dowhat i like about my alpine stars was the fact the inner boot makes them feel like your foot there is no movement of your feet inside, so probably after something simular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
