Good to know. My SMX3's actually held out water for quite a while before my socks started getting wet.

They hold up ok in a drizzle and car spray, but get a nice soaking rain and you are fucked. That's why I want the Sidi On Roads, they a good all around good touring boots.

so the boss said that i can offer you guys 15% off as long as i get at least 3 orders initially

FWIW the SMX-5 can be purchased "waterproof" and the SMX-plus boots used to have a waterproof/goretex version so maybe you can find a pair on closeout.

SMX-5 $250 retail

15% off msrp or ya'll normal pricing, pm me the price; i need to go find my size in them before I can order though. May have to swing buy cycle gear or a dealer that sells sidis.

I wont be back in the shop till wednesday, i'll try and do it then...and its MSRP, cause that is what we base our prices on

They're a taller version of my Typhoons. Good stuff- my feet never got wet at the Rally or Indy.

The Vortices look really close to the Vertigo Corsa. The Corsa had the external ankle brace while the regular Vertigo didn't.

I'm on my second pair of Sidis since I started riding. I use the boots until there is a hole in the foot or sole. They are absolutely the best boot and I wouldn't buy anything else.

For $35 you can get a replacement sole. Then, take them to a cobbler and have them replace the sole... I found it worth it to have a spare pair of boots available.

Good to know

I may get the canyons, they look like what I was looking for more than the on roads and are cheaper.
