I checked Revzilla, same Sidi pricing though they do carry Astars which I've been tempted to try. Don't see any real advantage over Sidi and I've been thrilled with my B2s for two years. I kinda hate the thought of getting rid of them.

The S-MX R are very nice and compete with the Vertigo's price-wise. Wouldn't blame you for buying those. The Sidi's are heavier but due to more hard plastic schtuff... which translates to better protection in my mind. Sizing was identical for my paws.

ditto what you said about Speeds but I figured as long as it didn't involve a wrench they couldn't make the beast with two backs too much up.  [laugh]

Or a parts order... or an oil filter purchase... or meeting a deadline... or helping diagnose a problem... [laugh]

I'm the proud owner of a new pair of Vertigos. Damn nice boots and fit right nice. And would you know that by ribbing the salesperson about Bob's not being willing to bargain I got $20 off? :)

MFI is usually competitive with on-line places for pricing, but their selection is hit or miss, sometimes its great, sometimes not - I suspect that it depends on who is doing the ordering that month or whatever. They always have a good stock of Arai lids so there's that.

I second MFI...was over there looking at their Husa SM and they seemed to have a decent inventory of boots at a fair price.  Then again I wasn't boot shopping at the time.

And as stated before, I will not buy the A* SMX boots ever again.  The toe box offers little to no protection and shredded pretty bad imo...additionally the heel protection is marginal.  I will pay for it, but will look at another boot with better protection

I ended up buying a pair of Vertigos at Bob's, but thanks for the offer!

I've got some of those as well.  Or at least did before I moved.  Might just use one for that new helmet I've been looking at...

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
