toe sliders?

[Max Smiley]

anyone have an online source for these? or even an extra pair ya wanna' sell me? I'm going to try to add these onto a pair of Sidi's that originally did not come with them. these are their street low tops - not quite a race boot but close and more so than the alpinestars SF boots.

no hard ankle armor but padding

Alpinestar SF boots

hard heel counter
hard ankle armor
padded instep

con
not hard toe
rubber wearing out at shifter area after less than 1k miles
rubberized toe area slightly bulbous like hiking boot, should be less so for easier shifting

here's the Alpinestars I want to try - rear entry so hopefully can get my feet in :eek LOL. I had an old pair of vented race boots from them with like a 3/4 entry and these were the only ones I could put on and fit well with my ankle brace. stupid me sold them when I thought I was done with motorcycles they don't make them anymore so must find new.

...rear entry so hopefully can get my feet in...

Haven't you learned not to set yourself up like that yet?? :laughing :laughing

Those are sweet, though. My AS SMX boots are falling apart. Second pair and the threads are separating. I think I'll get the Vertebrae next... anyone want a pair size 43 boots, cheap??

Oh, and regarding toe sliders, just move your feet back on the pegs and keep 'em off the deck.

I have these. I use them for commuting and regular around town riding. They are surprisingly comfortable for walking around as well.

I never saw the Alpinestar ones. Although the con about not having the hard toe would kinda suck. I like both the heel and the toe on the SIDI boot. Of course, I'd also like the extra ankle protection but then again, I'm fine without the toe sliders on a commuting shoe.

Those AlpineStars looks like ski-boots! What will they think of next?
