Bought a new set of boots the other day. This is my second pair of SIDI Boots, I'm hoping this pair will be comfortable enough to wear everyday and still be waterproof. I'm tired of wet feet while riding in the rain!
Water proof boots..

I wear Oxtar Matrix II waterproof boots and they are very comfy on and off the bike and very waterproof.

Thanks for the info....
Thats a good question... I had to have something that would keep my feet dry in the heaviest of rains. Sick and tired of getting soaked.

I have Nitro boots and like them alot.
+1 very comfortable and sturdy. Deffinately NOT waterproof. I'm sure they never claimed to be.
Hey Sonny!! When ya coming down to ride a road with turns again??
Great looking boots! Look kinda like what Pashnit wears.
I have the Alpinestars Gore-tex mid boots (don't remember the name, and I'm in Vegas on business), but they are 100% waterproof because they have a complete liner of Gore-tex membrane. I HAVE tested them in the rain unintentionally, and perfectly dry feet resulted.
They are not as tall as my SMX-R's, but are quite comfortable and suitable for the more relaxed riding style rain demands. These boots, Frog Togs, and Shoei Joust make for one perfectly dry rider....

Ya know...if it says Sidi on the side and they claim it's waterproof, you KNOW it's a fact and probably more comfy than sneakers. You can't go wrong with Sidi.

My feet haven't gotten wet in the rain yet with the Nitro boots.

AWESOME BOOTS!!!!!
I have had mine 1 1/2 years and 13,000 miles. hey do hold up better than I had hoped! I posted in a thread last year about them (complete with pics) and how happy I am with them overall. It looks like I will wear the soles out before anyting else, but it appears they are only 1/2 way through their life span.
They ARE 100% waterproof - tested on many occasions here in Oregon
They are THE MOST comfortable boots I tried on (and I tried on ALOT!)

Boots with good ventilation cannot be waterproof. I use these overboots on top of my boots and my feet were dry riding through downpour.
