jessecwalters Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I guess it goes here. Anybody have the A* S-MX 1 (or 2) Riding Shoes? How are they? Im looking to buy a pair of boots within the next couple weeks, that are under $200. So if you have those, let me know how they are, or if you suggest a different pair, what are they and why? Thanks!!http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/36/7524/ITEM/Alpinestars-S-MX-1-Riding-Shoes.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 i had them, and i loved them, great riding shoe, with decent protection.super super comfortable, you can walk around in them all day with no issues.i wanted more protection though especially since i was gonna get into track days, so i sold them and bought the smxr..but if you are just using them for touring/commuting the smx-1 is a great shoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sidi Fusions look pretty nice. Not under $200 but right at it. I love my Vertigos, so comfortable on and off the bike. This is just a less armored version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoblick Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 i wanted sidis, but the cut of the boot wont fit me, i have a wide foot and sidis are very narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessecwalters Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) Yea I would like sidis, but 400 is too much right now. And yea, basically just touring/commuting, not very hard riding. Ill have to look at the smxr, I haven't seen them.edit: those sidis arent too bad actually. I didnt even see they had boots around that price. I Plan to go to IP this week and get some sizing on some boots and what not Edited June 6, 2010 by jessecwalters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sidi B2's! Love'em. We had a B2 rally last sunday during our group ride. Everyone was sporting them we noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessecwalters Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I was looking at the B2's on IP.comMy wife keeps bitching that she doesnt like the high boots tho. But I do like the B2's and fusion. definitely going to look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I swear those Fusion's that RSVDon posted up above are the exact replica of my B2's. I don't see a difference in that picture. What is that about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 The B2 has external ankle protection. The fusion look padded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Need any B2 replacement parts? Such as ceramic toe sliders? http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Categories.bok?category=SIDI+Motorcycle+Boots%3ASIDI+Boots+Replacement+Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that about? Different protection level. B2 is more race oriented I believe. Wasn't the B2 superceeded by the Vertigo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessecwalters Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 The one's I just posted are $200 new...I seen that. And I started looking on ironpony.com at sidis. When I looked before, for some reason i thought they were way more expensive No shoes, boots only.And I always wear boots. Theyre just steel toe workboots. A pain to get on and off. and hot sometimes. So I figured I would buy some nice riding boots. Ive only worn tennis shoes once, and it was very weird. Ill stick to boots of some kind.

NinjaNick Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I've always ridden with full boots like my B2's and before those I had Gaerne's.I feel weird without them. I like shifting, riding, and just the protection with them. They just feel........right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshbea6 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Don't buy from Pony. You can find them MUCH cheaper online. I only go to IP for finding out what size I need, then go online to buy.I am riding in the A* S-MX Plus boots and LOVE them! Great fit, inner lacing to keep your foot in place, and Motocross style calf adjustment that doesn't make you feel like your leg is going to slide out of them like most of the other boots I tried on.I would have loved to have gotten the Sidi Vortice or Vertigo's.Check out http://www.newenough.com/street/closeouts/bootsThey have Vertigo Air boots there (only in the solid white) for $189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
