Last pair of SIDI Boots
Sidis are suppose to be the best motorcycle boots made but a word of warning: If you ever have to deal with a warranty issue you may as well just toss them in the trash and go buy something new. To be fair, the problem is not so much with Sidi as it is with their US distributor, Motonation.
I bought a pair of B-2s last December. In early May one of the zippers jammed while it was still on my foot. I had to use a pair of pliers to get it down far enough to get out of it. In the process I bent up the tongue on the zipper. I took them to my dealer who returned them to Motonation. I finally got them back the first of August with the same zipper but with a new tongue on it. The zipper, of course immediately jammed again.
The dealer overnighted them back to Motonation with the instructions to rush the repair as they had already had them for three months.
A month later (I guess that's a rush order for these clowns!) I finally got them back with a new zipper! But now I have a new problem: The welting around the top of these boots is fabric and after only 5 months use (and who knows how many miles in a box) it is worn through in spots. I realize that the B-2s are the budget model but this fabric is just crap.
Well, screw-em! I am just going to wear them until they fall apart and then buy a pair of Alpinestar or Tecnik or Oxtar, anything but Sidi or Set-Up (the other brand that Motonation carries)!
