Sidi Blade Boots

Shorter riding boots and shoes are becoming popular with sport and street riders. A shorter style makes for a good combination between protection, looks and convenience. These boots are almost identical to race boots, but without the taller tops with shin protection. The boots include a built-in inner ankle protector (the black round plastic piece you see in the pictures), a rigid molded plastic heel protector, a rigid toe box and a replaceable toe slider. The boots are super easy-on and easy-off with a double Velcro-close strap on the outside of the foot. The boots are cut lower in the back and they also have a soft neoprene insert in front so you can flex your ankle comfortably from front to back without the boot digging in. The soles of the boot are a thin, race-style design. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see some good close-up shots of this boot’s features.
