sidi 2010 adventure rain boots

For those who are interested in them and got some questions about them , feel free to ask me ...
I have them since yesterday morning , did some offroad riding and some city traffic riding yesterday afternoon/night ... ,
and I already love them ...

they feel very stable (stiff like a mx boot) but the lower part is then better made to walk around ...

Are they actually waterproof or after 1-2 hrs in the rain do they let water in?

I know you might not know it now but keep us up dated. Really hate it when you buy a boat that says its waterproof when its not really.

They do look like a good compromise for road/off road boot.

They have a full Goretex liner so have the goretex guarentee of waterproofness. I had a pair for a couple of months now and nice and dry so far, been through some heavy flood water too.

how about the velcro on top ?
I'm just afraid it will wear our after dirt/wet riding all the time and it won't close anymore after a while ?
I'm riding my bike daily so boots will be used as well on daily base

I also bought them last week. They are the best compromise off/on road, very stable, good protection and you can still walk in them quite fine.
They are noise when walking, but I am not bothered with that.
I used them in the rain, and they are waterproof. After off road riding i washed dry mud off them with high pressure water machine and they stayed dry.
High speed stream crossing made my legs little wet, but only because water came in from the top.
I dont like the buckling system, because I need to use both hands, not only one.

Very nice looking boots, after a compromise between my current MX and road boots these may fit the bill (when cash flow allows!).
Keep us updated,
Selina

I think if you want to use them as a mostly offroad boot then the velcro may suffer some mud induced wear and tear, water can still get in over the top of the boots so that too may be issue in full offroad use. But for road/dualsport they are the boots I've been waiting years for someone to make... No doubt now sidi have shown the way others will follow.

For some years now, I use the TCX(formerly Oxtar) Infinity Gore-tex boots, also a crossover between road and offroad boots. Very good boots, but they are not as sturdy like these Sidi boots, on the other hand very "walkable". Although the Infinity seems a bit higher then the Sidi. Anyway, my boots are still waterproof, so the Gore-tex does what it promises(and take care of your gear!). Before that, I always used a pair of Matterhorn Army boots(10" height with Gore-tex, still in good condition after 8 years!), not intended for offroad use, but does the job very well onroad, sturdy enuff!!

I spent some time looking for a boot that wasn't full offroad, offered a reasonable level of protection, one that I could walk in and which i could use throughout the winter. Opted for the Sidi Adventure and so far totally happy with my purchase....very comfortable indeed.
