Darren,

Yes, I was using Sidi Crossfires.

I bought then 2nd hand, the seller said he had used them for about 1yr, they looked not much used when I got them.

I've used them for just over a year and like them alot. They are a little heavy compared to some boots like the AS Tech10, but then the AS boots look like they were thrown together in a Shanghai sweatshop.

They are comfy*, easy to walk in, the buckles are easy to adjust and stay adjusted and most of the panels can be replaced (screwed on) you need to keep and eye on the screws or Loctite them. The soles have a reasonable grip too compared to the slick MX boots.

Nick.

* The only prob I've had is after about 7-8 days constant use on the Portugal trip they started to rub my little toes.
