Sidi Adventure 2 GTX Boot: Review and Verdict
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 เม.ย. 2022
- I have been looking for new moto-boots for this summer's WYBDR trip as my current Gaernes will not do for the heavy off-road element. I have tried the @KlimUSA ADV Boots but wasn't impressed at all. I am reviewing my latest option, which is the Sidi Adventure 2 Boots. Things are looking up for sure.

I've been rolling with an MX boot for the past couple of years. Longest ride with them was from Clarksville, TN (north west of Nashville) through the 1st first 3 sections of the MA BDR and back (all on a XR650L with a 5.8 gal gas tank). It was totally manageable with couple pairs of Gortex socks, some flip-flops, and a pair of minimalist shoes. As a new ADV rider I like having the extra protection. I have to admit that I have been tempted by some of the ADV boots, but for now, it's MX for me.
Glad to see you back in the TH-cam content saddle, keep it up!
So glad to have finally seen this comment. I ended up right where you suggested so long ago. MX for me as well.
“These boots are done for riding,
And that’s just what they’ll do,
One of these days these boots are gonna,
RIDE ALL OVER YOU!!
Ride on! Sweet kicks!
I’ve watched a fair number of seedy videos but this was by far the most educational.
You’re so close you can almost smell my feet, right?!?
I’m really working on improving the viewing experience and put the subscriber right into the unboxing.
Great boot. I have the same pair. They don’t offer enough protection for harder rides. I love them for short day rides etc, but for BDR rides I rode my Tech7 Enduro Drystar. They are the better for protection but a little less comfortable to walk in. Great video.
dress for the crash
@@steveh545 exactly. Dress for the slide not the ride
They both are CE-certified to EN 13634:2017
I think CE ratings are focused on the slide and abrasion. Might be wrong. If you’re off-road, the slide is less a problem than the crush, or the twist.
Correction. Safety rating stuff is so confusing. And focused on clothing. Where abrasion is important in surface protection, then the pads for impact add another level. Looking if the boot thing… the testing looks a bit stupid. And includes “color-fastness”. Technically there are 2 levels of CE for boots. Ironically labeled 1&2. 2 is better. It should be on the label. Anyway, if you might fall off, or put your feet down, more (harder off-road stuff or just a newb) then more motorcrossy the better.
Dropped my bike about five weeks ago and frame smashed my foot. Broke one bone (fifth metatarsal) but smashed foot pretty good. I changed from some softer motorcycle boots to these Sidi Adventure 2 boots and love them. Comfortable and feel very protective. Had to adjust shifter to be able to get my toe under it but very happy. Well worth the money if you have it.
Thanks a lot for the high quality video and review
Absolutely. It is what I do...
I have those boots--love em
I just got a pair myself, same color. I have wide feet, wear a 9.5 (USA) but in this boot that was a little tight. I'd say the width was the problem. I went up a size and one foot was still a bit snug for my toes. I then took out the insole and that gave my toes the needed wiggle room. I wonder if this would have worked for the 9.5 size but didn't think to try it while I had them. Give that a try if yours feel a bit on the small size.
Picked up Gaerne Fastback adv style brown. Good context to see how these compare.
I use those for off road, not waterproof
would have been good to look at the boot as you look down
Nice USA Volleyball shirt.
Uh oh...another player AND rider? There are so few of us...haha
I have these. They’re great. They’re very narrow and hurt the side of my foot a bit. Done loads of deep water crossings an they’re 100% waterproof. However, I always still ride with my Alpinestars Tech 7 because these can’t compare. I wear them if I’m on the sports tourer or I’m going to need to walk a lot. They don’t get a lot of use to be honest. Easily do 8-12 hour rides in them though.
That’s awesome. I have moto shoes I wear for most of my commuting but was hoping to have a pair of tougher boots ready for my two trips coming up, Wyoming BDR and Central America. Hopefully these will be a good fit for those two excursions. They felt pretty comfortable while still getting the added protection I was hoping for.
Thank you very much for your feedback and watching the vid.
@@BeGoneForGood I’d definitely go with an MX boot and gore-Tex socks for a BDR. These won’t provide that kind of protection.
Ahhhh…you aren’t helping Ryan!!! I thought I was all set with a beautiful pair of ADV boots. Turns out that I might have to go MX boot shopping now.
@@BeGoneForGood If the bike falls on you, these won’t do the job. I’ve also had some small logs and rocks on very rocky trails wack my feet when I’ve gone over them and I was glad I had the plastic armor reinforcement. The plush leather on the Siri’s are comfy and soft, but that comes at a price.
How is the suede holding up? How do you care for it?
What is the size of the Klim vs Sidi.
Are they both 48?
I think the Klim boots are American sizes (11, 12, 13...) instead of the metrics but I purchased both boots in my usual size (13).
What size did you try? What size do you normally wear?
I normally wear a size thirteen so I tried the euro size to match that. It turns out that the next size up would likely be a better choice.
te recomiendo la marca Forma es la mas comoda de todas...
Why did you buy a size smaller than you take ? Then you’ve said should have gone bigger
How are they for wide ? Boot shopping also
I don’t exactly know because I have skinny feet. I fit well so it would be tough to say.
I have a pair, really like them except I'm in between the euro sizes. Boots barely fit and make me look like I have tiny feet.
Knowing what you know now, would you have opted for a larger rather than the smaller size? I think I’m going to be in the same boat.
@@BeGoneForGood I happened to have just orded a new pair a few days ago, I went with the next larger size. Also, need to mention the "sizing charts" were different between websites. If it helps I'm a size 10 US, 43 is a 9.5 US; this time went with a 44 which should be 10.2 per the chart the website offered.
Great boot with a price that would brake the bank.
All of these boots are crazy expensive but when it comes to protection, don’t you kind of get what you pay for?
@@BeGoneForGood yes in some cases you do. Other cases you get your monies worth.
@@davidsizemore2745 Getting your *money's worth is the same as getting what you pay for. And you should see the prices of Alpinestars boots. Plus, nobody buys boots at full RRP.
Is the sole fake stitched on?
I honestly do not know. I will let you know if it starts to come undone.
It's fake...
Interesting that you can smell leather on a boot with absolutely no leather in it 🤣 They are made of microfibre which is entirely synthetic.
That’s interesting because the website claims full grain leather on the boot. Maybe you’re right and it’s just me imagining the leather smell but I’m sticking to my guns for now. That’s some good smelling leather.
