I currently have a pair of Sidi Rain boots and as a new biker they have been my only pair until now.
Now I am thinking of either Sidi Vertigo Corsa or Alpinestars SMX-Plus boots.
Do you have either of these and which would you choose if not?
Cheers, Paul

I've got Smx-plus and I love them! Lovely secure fit and comfortable enough to wear all day.  |

Good point Dan, I did think the Sidis were much narrower!

Has the SMX plus boots and they last for ever (must have done 50 to 60k in them at least), much longer than the sidi's I have had in the past. Anyway now have the supertech R's and like SON says, they are awsome.
I cant fault the build quality of Astars

Had the alpinestars but they used to squeak like fook! Great protection though, better than sidis. Have supertechs now and they are very good!
Cheers!

If you lube/clean them with a little silicone polish they give up the squeaking. |

Had both, but prefer the AStars. The Sidi's used to pinch me tootsies if I wore them all day. The AStars are like slippers, but click like a cockroach with a stammer |

Had 2 pairs of Sidi's and 3 pairs of SMX over the years, just treated myself to some new Sidi's, I think Astar SMX's are more for the track as you can't where them with jeans unless you wear bay city roller style flares, And nowt worse than a pair of jeans tucked into race boots  |

Speaking from experience the A Stars hold up to crashing better than the Sidis |
