They're the expensive cousins of my old and new boots.

Mine creaked when new, used to drive me nuts.

Enjoy, if they are anything like mine they are sure to be a comfy boot

Mick
one reason I bought 'em
they did NOT creak when i walked around the showroom

They are comfy....
like buying helmets, i spent an hour trying boots
10-15 minutes with them on walking around
and I found they fit ( I have a wide foot which makes fit critical)

and thanks for the feedback

cheers

This IS true.... BUT you still need knee and toe sliders dude !!!

I had a pair of Alpinestars that WERE great to "walk" in but I had to get the soles refitted (dont know if it was a one off or indicative but).

A pair of Gaernes that STILL see service and a pair of Dainese with carbon inside that got cheap in Italy from a cafe boy, the soles were scuffed but NO marks were the pegs would leave them

are the current ones, I do like the Dainese a lot (tit toe sliders are KEWL) but I have to admit they do rub on the "join" in my prev. broken leg...

:

have knee sliders on the pants......of course

and
its funny you know
in the 6 odd years I have had the Spidis
they never touched down at any time
...wore out the hero blobs under the pegs though

must be how I use my weight or foot placement ...or sumfing

so when it came time for new boots
...toe sliders were not a big issue
