- This is my opinion on one of the most popular adventure boots on the market. I will go as far to call them "the best" adventure boots on the market. I'm really impressed by the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-tex boots and how well they support my feets when riding. I can highly recommend them.
If you are looking for new boots, go to your local shop, try out different sizes and models to see what fits your feet best. Leave some room in them for bigger socks and make sure your toe's dont slide into the front inside when you walk.
All new boots feel stiff brand new. They always need a little break in period. So just take my word for it, they will become really good after some break in.

2:45 - I just pissed myself laughing 😂. P.S. the porn moustache is even better than last year.
Hahaha, everyone can relate to smelly ADV Boots 😂🔥
I've been doing a lot of research into good riding foot protection, since I'll be transitioning from Harley Davidson to more of a ADV ride, and I have to say this was by far the BEST REVIEW VIDEO YET!!! Thank you so much and cheers from Texas!! You, sir, just got another Subscriber...thanks again
Thank you Sir... I really appreciate that 👏🏻 Glad you found the video informativ and I could help make your decision a little bit easier. Cheers
Hello from Canada!
Great video! I've had my Sidi Adv Gortex boots for over 6 years with no issues and still love them. Toe box is a bit narrower than I'd like, but not unbearable. I love the squeak! It makes people turn around and notice the lone adventure guy suited up and far from home. A great conversation starter!
I really want to get over there and ride Norway!!!
Cheers, and be safe out there!
All the way from Canada 👏🏻🔥 Hope you are all doing well over there. Glad to hear you had no issues with yours. I'm really loving this boots for adventure riding. Here in Norway winter has hit hard. So there is up to 1.4 F 😵
Thanks for the honest and detailed review! I am about to order one pair for myself and this review sealed the decision for me between these and Astar Toucan. 👍
Hello mate, glad to hear you found it helpful 👏🏻 Amazing boots I will buy again. Hope you will be as happy with yours as I'm mine. Cheers
Nice and honest review. I agree with you based on my experience with the SIDI Adventure version 1, 10 years and still running great. Next pair will be Adventure 2.
Thank you Sir. I really enjoy this boots, and i will by the same boots next time i will buy new. 10 years and running is impressiv 🔥👏🏻
Very helpful review, thanks for putting it together. Good to find your channel, I'll be following you from Scotland 👍
Thank you Robin, appreciate that 🔥👏🏻
Damn, this review plus Black Friday sale price means a new pair of boots are now on order. Thanks for the real world review Thomas, really useful.
I should send SIDI a mail 🤣congrats on new great boots my friend. Trying to be as honest and transparent as possible mate. Glad you found it helpful. Stay safe, and make sure to have some silicon spray in storage 🔥
@@tshansen ha ha 😂 plenty of silicon in the garage, my old Alpinestars race boots loved to squeak
I liked your review. I bought a pair today to replace old Rossi leather road boots as they offered poor protection against impact, cold, or wet. The difference is just 'WOW'!
I was a postie in South Melbourne for years, and after a 10 year hiatus have taken the role again, but in country Victoria. The bike itself can be dangerous to feet and lower legs when it slides in mud. These Sidi's offer a level of comfort and protection far beyond my expectations.
So glad to hear you liked them as well mate… I really enjoy this boots my self. They are a perfect balance between comfort and safety. Cheers
These are the boots my friend Marco had on him of our Norwegian adventure and he keeps saying positive things about them too!
Hello my friend 🔥Nice to hear from you again. How are you? Yes, i'm really impressed by this boots. A great Adventure boot that are surprisingly good to walk in. Stay safe mate 👍🏻
Great video I enjoy it and laugh too. Good humor. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Sir 😃 Glad to hear you liked it. Cheers 🤩
Thank you for the review! I'm right about buying some dual-purpose boots and an owner's review is always a good thing. The other boots I'm thinking about are the Forma Terra Evo.
Glad you liked it sir 👍 i have never tested forma my self, but i tend to stay away from boots with no Gore-tex for my usage
I've owned my Adventure 2s nearly a couple of years too. Agree with everything you say, they're a great versatile boot. I've found they work perfectly with nice thick boot length Marino wool socks for cold weather, and thin fast wicking coolmax boot liner socks for hot weather. The squeaking is annoying 😆
Totally agree! use the same sock options myself. Works really well, but wool socks and boots like this 😇leave them outside the tent or the cabin 🤣
This is awesome Thomas as I bought the exact same boot a couple of months ago and look forward to riding with them.
I'm really happy with these boots... And I will buy them again if I need a new pair. I think the new Klim Boot look interesting as well, but I prefer to buy locally if I can. 👏🏻
Totally agree... best adv boots I had.
Yeah, I have to agree... great adv boots I will buy again 🔥
Best boot for ADV!!! Saved my foot from snapping during a lowside on a gravel road....
I have not crash tested mine yet, but glad to hear they hold up in a low slide. Cheers mate
Thanks for the review
You welcome mate 👏🏻🔥
Thank you, for this very nice presentation. .
Glad you liked it Sir 😃
Great review as always. I’m looking for boots right now. I’m thinking either these or the Forma Adventure boots. Can’t decide🤔 love the stash 😝
Thank you 😊 i looked at forma last before i choose SIDI, just make sure it has Goretex! I know some of the models have some Tittentei membran but that alot of people claim are not waterproof? You may find info on it online 👍🏻🔥 i consider keeping it like this 😂😂
All boots should have some Tittentei membrane 😂❤
Unclipping the top buckle stops mine squeaking when off the bike. I find this easy enough to do so the squeaking isn’t really an issue for me. But thanks for the silicon spray tip, I’ll try it in spring!
Hmmm... the upper buckle you say, never thought about that. Will give that a try my self mate. Thank you for the advice! Cheers 🔥
The best buy I have ever made. I went with the grey version. Super comfortable on bike and off bike. Amazing temperature management thanks to the Goretex membrane. On top of that they look great.
Couldn't agree more! 👏🏻🔥
Hi! I was looking at the grey version, but compared to the black version that uses smooth leather on the outside, the grey version (and brown for that matter) uses suede which I think is easier to wear out, to get stained and harder to clean. What's your impression after 1 year? Can you provide a photo of how they look after one season? Thanks!
@@Skyunlimited84 I’d buy them again, regardless of how they look after 2
seasons, and they look just fine. Grey got dirtier.
Nice one mate, that is on my bucket list for 2021
Thank you Raimundas 🔥 how are you holding up? everything ok? covid-19 has not been a problem for you yet? Stay safe
@@tshansen thanks, all is fine. Considering your mustache you doing well too lol. Waiting for new season and hoping Covid allows us to travel :)
@@KaLNaZaS Hahah... well, what can I say... living the dream. But this covid, small kid, home office for the missis.... well, it has to stop soon 🤣Hope this winter goes away quick so we can get some milage on two wheels again. Going up north next summer. See if i can reach Nord cape my self.
Haha, these reviews are pure entertainment! 😂 Also, going the extra step of actually showing what you talk about makes these reviews so much better. Well done! 👏🏻 Also, I'm curious to know how you did those text reveal shots in the beginning! I wanted to do that for one of my videos after seeing you use Fusion in your Outline Travel Map-video, but couldn't quite figure how to do it.
I appreciate that mate 🔥👏🏻 I personally think that it is absolutely key to show footage of what you are talking about to get some context and better understanding of your point. And that makes the language barrier much easier also.
The text revel shot's are only easy masking in the color page of davinci. You can do it both in the color and the fusion page. I'm not sure if you use davinci, but the tracking and masking in the color page of davinci is really powerful. I duplicate my video and ad a text layer between the shots (stack on top of each other) and use the curve tool in the power window to mask out the video above and track or keyframe the mask trough the length of the clip 🙈Good idea... if i can't find a easy video of that, i would try to make a tutorial of it myself. Cheers Kristian
You can also use the built in rotor tool (magic mask) but i have trouble rendering out the effect after applying it. So i have to test it some more before i can use it with great resualts.
@@tshansen Thanks for the help! I'll see if I can make it work the next time I need it. And yes, have been using DaVinci Resolve for the past year and it's miles better than FCPX and Premiere in my opinion, especially for color grading. Not to mention that it's basically free. 😄
@@KristianPletten Yeah, i don't have any experience with Premiere myself, but i have used FCPX and Davinci is miles ahead in my opinion. And when you take the price into it, it is a no brainer.
Funny, I'm just searching for new Boots because I could'nt stand the smell of my Alpinestar Tech 7 anymore... I am actually sitting on the fence between the Klim Adventure GTX and Sidi Adventure 2... and i totaly forgot that you already presented them 😂 well, time to watch your Video Again ;)
Haha, if you have any additional question, feel free to shoot me a message. I would really like to try the Klim Adventure boot's as well.
Beautiful boots and great review. Like my Toucans, the "weak link" to me remains the velcro instead of a buckle on top making almost half the boot relatively unsafe. I actually wrap the top with a strap having no confidence the velcro will to much of anything
Why do you find the Velcro bit unsafe on the upper parts of the boots? Do you have any experience with boots opening up and damage the foot in slide? I work as a first responder i have never seen such a problem at all. I can see the har enduro guys having issues with branches sticking out and can puncture the leg, but with normal adventure riding? Is this really a issue? ( I don’t know, just asking)
These are my first pair of Adventure Boots they are super comfortable but they have a squeak so loud like nothing I have ever heard in foot wear before haha!
Hahaha get yourself a bottle of silicon spray mate 🤣👏🏻
Thomas, great review as always. I have been wearing the Alpinestars Toucan Gortex for the past 4 years. I have a narrow foot and I should have ordered the Sidi because their last fits my foot perfect. I have been trying to wear my Astars out but so far they are standing up very well. So a tip for those considering one of these Gortex boots, both are great quality the Astars just fit wider then the Sidi. Oh, and on the the Movember look, it's only one month a year you get to look like a Porn Star so enjoy. Best Health!
Hahah, thank you mate. Yeah, that's the name of the boots my friend ordered. Those are much wider according to him. Just by the look of it, the alpinestars looks like great boot's as well. But they have only one buckle? or two? Hahaha... i get so much attention for this look... it is a shame i have to wear a facemask in this trouble times. I may do this a all year look.🔥😆 Stay safe my friend. cheers
Great video Thomas.
I would just like to react to what you said at 2:40 about sweat/smells.
I do not have these particular boots, but I do have some goretex boots for almost 2 years now. And they really do not smell at all, even after being under some heavy rain or after a hot day.
And let me tell you that my older boots, were horrible in that sense.
Interesting! This is probably a individual thing. I remember back in the days, when i was in the military. One guy had to sleep with his feet outside the tent (eight people) because of the insane smell. And i know gore-tex is a breathable membrane, but inside a shoe, it only make it more condense. So my warm feet, with wool socks, it can only be described as hot dead sheap.... in a way 🤣Stay safe mate 🔥
@@tshansen haha yes probably depends from people to people.
Stay safe too mate ✌️
If your not just a sunshine rider, gore tex in this country is a must mr Ron Jeramy😀😀
Hahaha.... you made me spill my coffee 🤣
@@tshansen 🤣🤣 l swallow mine wrong when l saw that nose wiper.. Awsome mate 🤣🤣🤣
@@toby7504 Haha, that is what she said 🤣🔥
@@tshansen hahaha... 😎🤣
LOOOOL, I was like... is this the wrong channel? Nice, mustache. You need a Opel Manta B with a fox tail to complete the look. Great review about the boots. Sidi are currently top of my list. Learned my lesson at the army during my 1st bivouac, army boots are kinda cheap. I used to put aluminum tinfoil in my army boots, to keep them dry. I hate wet and cold feet, hot and smelly is preferred if forced.
Hahaha, i'm more like a Ford Granada kinda guy 🤣Those cars are hard to come by today. Another great "grandma" tip is to wrap your feet in newspaper, that will keep you warm and dry. I'm not sure why, but it works every time. I agree... smelly over cold every day a week. 🔥
@@tshansen My father had a Ford Granada Kombi back then. He was so proud of it.
@@restless_soulism You know that the Ford Granada station wagon has more space inside than a VW Caravelle 🙈
@@tshansen Back then it felt like that, I used to accompany my father grocery shopping for our restaurant. We used to fill it up to the rim using Tetris strategy. Many years later, our restaurants upgraded to the VW T4, if you take out the seating, there is a lot of space. One of my favorite cars to travel with, nice seating and a great front window, you don’t get tired while driving.
Just bought a pair, needed them waterproof as it rains a lot here in northern England.
Haha, i guess you have somewhat the same weather we have here in Norway… almost constant rain 😂 Hope you will be happy with them. I love them
Thanks for the review.
I’m looking for that type of boots when my current boots are worn out.
Any time mate 👏🏻I would highly recommend you to take a closer look at the SIDI Adventure 2 when you looking for new boots 🔥
I had Sidi Adventure (1st gen) for little over two years, and I must agree they are near to perfect adventure boot. But, they miss for one important point, durability. I'm really not the only one who has had problems with durability of Sidi Adventure. My left boot started leaking just after the two years warranty was over. It was not funny riding one week in Norway between -2 and +10 degrees C in rain whit wet foot. Since the warranty was over, Sidi importeur didn't replace my boot, but I wrote to Gore-Tex, sent my boots for inspection to Germany and got a new pair of Sidi Adventure 2 for free. I may have kept them, but the other problem of Sidi is the narrow fit. So I sold the boots I got for replacement and bought TCX Baja Gore Tex. They are not just as well finished and not just as sturdy than Sidis, but they have lasted two seasons now and kept my feet dry. Before the first Sidi pair I had Oxtar (TCX) Infinity GTX and they lasted over eight years keeping my feet warm and dry.
I find the durability to be quite good (so far) on the SIDI's but we have to remember what heavy use some of the boot's go trough with everything we trow at them. A leaky membrane can be alot of different factors. I have had my share of leaky hiking boots with gore-tex membrane. But yes, i agree... a boot like this should last longer than two years. Wet shoes and feet are to be avoided at all coast. In my early years of riding, i used plastic bag's on my feet to keep warm and dry when it rained 🤣I see alot of people taking about the narrow foot in the SIDI, a good option is the Alpinestars, they are wider. But i tried both and could not feel that much of a difference. Yes i know this is a individual thing. Infinity? never heard of those? I know there is another brand that are crazy expensive but have really good quality. Not sure about the name. Thank you for this comment. Stay safe mate. Cheers 🔥
I don't remember what brand mine are (not Sidi, though) - and I don't really adventure ride much on my '86 GSX ES, but I agree you should go for YOUR perfect "marriage" of comfort and protection. Mine protect my ankles and the sole of my foot, they are reasonably waterproof (I only got wet once, on a 300 km ride in constant rain, but in fairness, ALL of me was wet at that point), very comfortable to walk in - I've walked 10 km on a dirt road, and 15 km on asphalt.
Edit: And for some mysterious reason, they don't utterly stink all the time! I think the product info said the inner lining had some anti-bacterial lining or something...
Yeah, it is up to each and everyone to judge for them self what is safe enough for their use. Haha, so there is no guaranty of the boots leaking or just water traveling down you legs then 🤣 Yeah, I have heard the same... and i do think that is just jumbo mumbo from the marketing, trying to sell more boots. Smell is bacteria and there is no magical lining that will prevent that 🤣
Excellent review! Sidi makes great products and I use their Crossfire SRS3 boots for motocross riding. Just curious your opinion about having a heal on a boot. Most moto/enduro/trials boots have a flat sole. Do you notice the small rise on the sole at the heal of the boot while riding? I currently use the Gaerne Balance oiled boots which have a flat sole for trials riding and adventure bike riding. The Garene's are leather and probably do offer as much protection as the Sidi Adventure boots but are very comfortable for both riding and walking in.
Thank you Sir 😊To be honest, i have never thought about it... the heal on the boot! But with my kind of riding and position on the pegs this is not an issue, and the heal would probably make the shoe better for walking, compared to the enduro boots. (not sure) But as i said, it has never crosses my mind, take into the equation that i use EU48 in shoe size 🙈 I heard alot of great things about Gearne, but i'm not sure if anyone has it in store here in my town.
I rode enduro in mine and the heal is a pain in the arse - stops you shifting your feet
Balls!
It’s balls of your feet that you meant to say. Good review. I love these boots, just don’t like the squeak!
Fair enough! 🤣You said it mate haha. Thank you, and yes these boots are great. But the squeak can drive you insane. Imagine waking up in camp with 50 people waring and walking around in SIDI's 🤣
Hi! Brilliant video. Have you tried the Gaerne Dakar? And between these two, what would be the ideal choice for touring, occasional offroading and short walks during the tour. Dakar or ADV 2?
Hello Arvind 🔥 i have never tried the Gaerne shoes, sorry! So i can’t recommend others then the sidi 👍🏻
I tried the Sidi Adventure 2 at first but they are like an Alfa Romeo: too small for me, especially there is no space for my toes from left to right side. Nevertheless great boots.
My second candidate were Alpinestars Toucan, also Italian but a bit wider in the front region. They fit much better to my feets so I'm wearing them since 1.000 km. Walking is easy and I have warm feets with regular hiking socks, even at 5°C in the dark. With one or the other pair of these boots you have the right ADV gear. BTW the Adventure Spec Mongolia pants (36, regular) fit easy and well over the Alpinestars Toucan (47).
Hahaha, comment of the day goes to SkyBlue 🤣Like a Alfa Romeo, everyone can relate 👏🏻I can remember reading about the Toucan somewhere else, there some complain about the wide top? is this because of extra protection or just plastic for show? If you look at the gravel side of adventure riding, it looks like most people are running SIDI or Alpinestars. That can be a coincidence? Cheers mate 🔥
Now i want to see a review of the FireBox Tjommi!
A review of the firebox vs hobo stove is coming up, same with what gear i have changed for the upcoming season etc. So there is something for everyone trough this winter 🔥Maybe a knife and axe in there somewhere as well 🤣If you are up for it, i have a couple of gear questions i would love to ask you and add in a future video?
@@tshansen You know it, just ask. I will unbox shit this week 👀👌🏻. Look forward to the stove review! I can imagine some of the pros and cons of them. You need a cool frypan to them as well. I have two types of nice jägarpanna / woodsman skillets. ...and some pipesmoking while pouring up a whiskey is awaited too 🤠.
@@Braapncamp Yeah, I will bring you into the loop as soon as i got everything written down (my notes) Yeah, there are some huge and important differences between the two stoves. I have the Petromax frypan that i'm really happy with, do you have any other suggestions? Pipe smoking? You know you are getting old when you start puffing that pipe (she said) 🤣🔥
@@tshansen smoking pipe is hipster stuff! ☝️😁😂👀 The Petromax frypan looks great, would love to have one. Cooking over open fire is da shit now wintertime. Love every moment of it.
@@Braapncamp That is some serious hipster stuff... who tipped you over to the dark side? Did Arne had anything to do with this 🤣I have to agree... coking over a fire or my trangia is the best feeling. It completes the whole trip.
Can't go wrong with a moustache like that, you look absolutely gorgeous😃
But this boots, do you recommend buying a size bigger than you usually use?
Hahaha, Thank you 😂👏🏻 i would not recommend sizing up! They are true in size
Great review 👍
I've had these for the 2020 sesaon. They are a bit narrow for my feet. Normaly I don't have this problem? Thought they would break in, but after 13000 km I ended up selling them 😒
I now have the Alpinestars Tech 7 Enduro Drystar, way more comfy 👍For my feet anyway 😁But at the same time way more stiff on and off the bike, so bring your hiking shoes if you are going to be walking a lot.
Thanks for sharing, and yes... there is alot of rapports about the SIDI been to narrow for some feets. For me that is not a issue. Are the drystar waterproof? But they are the closest thing we have skiboots 🤣A little to stiff for my usage. But i would choose them if i was doing even more offroad and adventure stuff. Cheers
@@tshansen Yes they are waterproof 👍
And yes they are stiff, but I'm not that talented off-road, so I need the ekstra protection 😂
@@petersen_michael_ Well, if talent offroad is what i should choose boots from, I should probably get some of those metal boots they wear for diving 🤣
@@tshansen 🤣🤣

Hi there! Thanks a lot! I really like your video's. Beside the very usefull information, I love your sense of humor! 🤣I'm looking for a comfi solid boot in the style like the Sidi for my next years trip to the Nordkapp. I have the Klim Adventure GTX also on my mind... I will find out if the boot will fit to my foot, or the foot needs to fit to the boot....😉 Keep on and ride safe! Greetings from Switzerland!
Hello Konrad, so glad you liked my video. Haha, try to mix it up a little, but it is hard to play clown in front of the camera sometimes. I'm really in love with the sidi's, I have been looking at the KLIM boots my self, consider trying them when I change out these. But it is hard to change a boot that you are so happy with. They are not cheap to say at least. Stay safe brother. Cheers 🤩🍻
@@tshansen Thomas, I really can imagine, that it is a big work to make such videos. I was trying it for myself but I found out, that the lack of patience in me is massive, so I stopped... Again, congratulations and thanks a lot for your work! The items in your reviews are usually not cheap, but they come with high quality what I always prefer! I personally just dont't like to buy things twice. So I rather spend more from beginn on and I usually don't get anoyed with my choosen stuff. I recently bought me a rukka goretex riding gear and spend a fortune for it, but I'm really loving it. Its a premium quality gear and the best of it - it looks sooo good on me 🤣🤣🤣😛 Your norwegian road trip reviews are fantastic! Great work and very professional! 👏👏👏👏One of the reasons, why I'm hot for Norway's landscape and roads!
@@allsolgmbh you and me are the same! I rather spend more money on quality once than irritating my self over cheap poor quality gear! I’m done with that! I need stuff that works and make my life on the road easier and more comfortable 👏🏻🔥 rukka makes great stuff, but it lack some in the ventilation on some of their suits. You should come to Norway and experience it 🤩🔥
@@tshansen I‘m gonna do my Trip to Norway next June 2023. Aprox. 8‘500 km in 4 Weeks, all up from Basel to the Nordkapp and back home again… thats why the rukka, the boots… 😅etc. Should be enough time for having a beer together… what do you think?

thank you
You are welcome mate! Glad you liked it 👏🏻
@@tshansen nice job .
Hi Thomas. Recently come across your channel and you have some great content. Im heading up to the Nordkapp in May 2023 from the uk thats how i found your channel. Keep up the great videos!. Just wanted to ask about your boots. I have just got a pair through the post and i find that mine are a little uncomfortable on the bones where the plastic strap is around the ankle, did you find anything like this when they where new and it got better once the leather broken in a bit? not sure if its just because they are a bit tight and new leather?. Cheers Mike
Hello Mike, so glad you found my channel and enjoyed my content 🤩 That is always motivating to hear. They will break in or how you say it. Mine was a little bit uncomfortable at the ankle, so I had to adjust the strop a little bit out, and as times goes I tighten it a little bit more. for me this was just a issue on the left boot. I think it can be some of the materials under that folds differently or something? And somedays, even now I can feel a little bit of pain in the lumps on the side of the foot. the two hard ones that are just over the ankle. Hope that was a answer to your question? Cheers
@@tshansen thanks for the reply. Definitely appreciated as I know how much effort goes into filming and editing and it’s good quality videos so I know that takes a lot of time so nice one!. Yeah definitely the same issue but mine is on the right boot, I dislocated my ankle and have a pin through that part of ankle so not so fun. Great boots but I might have to rethink haha. Thanks again Thomas. Cheers!
I love mine too. Great boot. What do you clean them with. I was always bit afraid of too much cleaning as they are goretex
Hello mate... i general misconception about Gore-Tex is that people don't think you can clean it, but it is the other way around. You should clean them now and then to keep the membrane working. This can be a problem with boots, because the membrane is in between the layers. But i rub my boots down with a brush and water. Even hose them down with a power washer if they are really dirty 👍🏻
bamboo socks and you will never have sour food again 😎😎
I had a t-shirt in Bamboo one time, and it is correct, it took way more time for it to start stinking, but it eventually got to it as well. 🙈
Hi . Thanks for the videos you sharing here!! Its time for me to get a new pair of boots. Here in Malta it isn't available so ill order it online .
Question, is there a difference in size what you normally wear compare to the size of the Sidi adv.2 you have please?
Thank you Biker!
Miki
hello Miklos, i find them to be true to size... I wear 48 In hiking boots and normal shoes, and do the same in these. They are a bit more narrow than AlpineStars, so if you have a wide foot (more than normal) you can find these to be a little bit narrow.
@@tshansen Thanks for the prompt answer, really helpful!!!
Dont want my comment to be held back so I won't comment on your career as a German p..star. 😆 Same boots as mine. I am in general very happy with them. Had them filled with water once...I thought they leaked but concluded later that the water probably ran in through my cheap pants. It was HEAVY rain that day.
Haha, I see a bright future for us Sven, you and me...in the garage with some blue öyster club vibes and some leather, low profile of course 🤣I find this boots fantastic. I got wet one time my self, but that was because i dipped my foot into the deep end of the river crossing 🤣
@@tshansen 🤣🤣
Nice camp you have there! Was 2:42 a reference to Dan Børge Akerø? XD
Haha... in days like this. You just have to be creative 🤣 I may decorate it more for future projects 😆 Haha, no...that was just a reference to what wet boots can smell like 🤣
@@tshansen th-cam.com/video/WdYnGPJ9OvY/w-d-xo.html
@@senseipt Hahaha.... Fantastisk 🤣
If you ride in Himalaya crossing all the waterfalls, you need bots to keep the water out of the boot. Which would you then recommend?
Well... if you need to cross high water or you know that your feet will get wet, like i hear people has problems with on Island and Himalaya as you say. I would use the boots you have, if they are stiff adventure boots and use sealskin sock's. They are waterproof and keep you feet dry. But you will get cold. 👍🏻
Hej Thomas. Bruger du stadig Sidi adventure 2 eller har du skiftet til et andet mærke?
Vh Morten fra Danmark
Jeg bruker de fortsatt, jeg er så fornøyd med de at jeg kjøpte meg et nytt par til årets sesong! Så denne skoen blir med meg på mange eventyr i framtiden også 👏🏻🔥
Hi, do you also know the gaerne dakar and can both compare?
Hello mate, sorry i have never used the Gaerne Dakar boots myself, so i can’t compare.
You can use kitty litter to dry your boots after riding
Damn man, that was a fantastic idea 👏🏻 Haha, the simplest thing often works the best. Thank you for this tip mate 👌🏻
Still love mine after owning them for a year now. You just need a cop outfit to complete the 70's porn look! lol

@@bazza8947 Haha, you are welcome... completely free of charge 🤣
If you put protection and comfort on a scale ... Sidi adventure 2 or Alpinestar Tech 7 enduro? ... are Tech 7 boots much more uncomfortable to use on all kinds of motorcycle trips?, Thank you very much
The tech 7 is a more protected boot, but how much more uncomfortable it is I can’t tell you much about. I never used them my self. I have a lot of friends who state they don’t keep the water out, even if they state so. For my needs i take a little bit less protection and more comfort and waterproof
@@tshansen ok, thank you very much!!
@@MANUELRODRIGUEZ-sg8qn You are welcome mate 👏🏻
i am did this boot 40000 km best boots in adventure market
I think i have covered about the same amount of KM in my boots and they have been flawless. I bought a new pair this winter and will be riding with a fresh pair this season. cheers
Brother how are the boots holding up? I'm getting importing it to India so warranty replacement is impossible. Some international reviews says the sole comes out to early since it's bonded and stitching are fake. Little worried. I chose this over Gaerne Dakar Goretex which has real stitching.
Well, mine are holding up really good. Not a single issue, and I ride about 20.000km each year. I will replace them next season with a new pair because of the smell, but the boots still look great and wear great
@@tshansen Thanks for the quick reply. I clock around 15-20K kms per year. Currently using a Falco Mixto3 boots. Upgrading to this for better lateral protection. Thanks.
You are welcome mate.
How about comfort? Can you walk for a couple hours in them?
Comfort is really good in my opinion. I walk around in these all day, going on and of my bike. And even Small hikes
Just received the boots today, but they are a little narrow - what is your experience, do they expand ?
brgds Poul Erik
Hello mate, yes they will expand a little bit! Like all boots do, but you really need to feel for it yourself
@@tshansen Thanks, I will walk a little around in house to decide if its a keeper ore a return to sender 🙂
@@pouleriksteffensen5264 I'm not sure how used you are with hiking boots, but i would say they expand a little sideways. You can probably see it when i film standing on the pegs. You see the boot push out a little in the video. But you will now best. Follow your guts 👍🏻
@@tshansen Maybe I will try one size bigger 🤔
@@pouleriksteffensen5264 I'm not sure a size up will benefit you if the with is the problem. Have you tired the Alpinestars? They are known to be a wider model
hi.
i almost bout the boots,
but I got the forma terra
because a Friend of mine has them, I should have got the sidi 🙄
I have tried the forma, but they did not fit my foot very well. Are your feet dry? Be happy with what you got and upgrade to something better next time mate 👏🏻🔥
@@tshansen they fit good and my feet are dry.
but the toebox is a bit to high and wide. that is a bit complicated.
I can understand that 🔥
Better than the Alpinestar Toucan ?
In my opinion, yes! They are pretty much the same boot, but fits better for a wider foot, and the Toucan is one buckle less, wider top so it dont fith under all pants.
Can you pull normal jeans down over the top of these boots?
Normal jeans... well. I’m a old man... i don’t have a clue what normal jeans are! But i have a couple of semi baggy Volcom jeans i use that fits over them. It that helps you in any way 👍🏻
@@tshansen Thank you! Much appreciated.
@@inspectortj8194 you are welcome mate
Vet det er gammel film @tshansen, men vurderer disse selv. Kjører du med litt tykkere ullsokker i skoene? :)
Ikke eldre enn at jeg kjøpte meg et par til på julesalg hos XLmoto rett før jul. Jeg er utrolig fornøyd med disse skoene. Nei, jeg kjører sjeldent med tykke ullsokker i skoene mine. Jeg kjører med vanlige ullsokker (alltid ull for å hindre lukt) Selv om de blir å stinke fælt etter en stund uansett hva man gjør.
@@tshansen herlig 😄 skal snope meg et par neste uke! 👌
@@AdventureGutta Høres ut som en god plan. 👏🏻
I wondering what that on your face was about 😁..
How true are the boots to size? I normally use 42, will it work with this boot?
Yes it does! i wear 47-48 depends on the shoe... but most boots i wear a true size 48 and this are spot on for my feets. The face is blooming with this Stach 🤣
The boots can be a bit small in the front part. It depends on the form of your foot. It have normally 42, but I use size 43 for these boots. Very happy with the boots for adv. riding but I use the Sidi crossfire for enduro riding.
@@klausschoffel2154 Great point mate... when i come to think of it, i have a friend who got the Alpinestar boot because of his wide foot. So thank you for this input 🔥
the material is called microfiber and looks like leather but it is not. Actually it is better in term of cleaning and maintaining
Thank you for this information mate 👏🏻🔥
@@tshansen pleasure :)
Come on man. I have these boots and they’re gear for comfort and touring, but not for ADV touring. I’ve had numerous incident where my Alpinestars Tech7 boots barely held up, but did. These won’t hold up to big bike ADV touring, and definitely not for BDR type riding. They’re so comfy but offer very little protection.
Well, this comes down to what we define as ADV touring. Here in Norway these boots have hold up like a Champ for the kind of gravel stuff we have. So I would state that this is great Adventure boots, but if you do hard trails or really push it off-road, I would choose something closer to a Slalom boot 👏🏻
Do I take footwear advice from someone wearing Crocs?
Yes, they are bloody comfortable.
Hahaha, when you meat someone who walks the walk with crocs, you know he is legit 😂
Front of foot = “ball” of foot in English.
Great, Thank you sir 👏🏻🔥

Why german? 😂😂😂
Well, you have to remember. I grew up on a time where most of the adult movies was dubbed to German. Most of the "stars" was probably from other countrys, but for us... they talked german, they was german 🤣🔥Can you imagine a worse job? dubbing the adult movies 🤣Cheers mate 😆
