I'm gonna go along with aaron on this one. personally I could wear my sidi boots all day long, and the break-in doesn't take long for a good feeling. I do suggest going past the ankle support and get some shin coverage. you don't want a peg bashing your shins as you wreck. Those boots have been through a few crashes and I've always walked away without a scratch. As for those sidi street boots, nice features, last long, typically a great fit, but I don't agree with just ankle coverage. may as well wear basketball shoes for that. One last thing, when I say shin protection, I don't mean FM boots.
