Food for thought...

I can vouch for NewEnough.com. Use them all the time. You can pick up a pair of Sidi's for $200.

Christ, thanks for the warning.

Not to beat this to death but I actually took a nasty spill at about 50mph yesterday wearing my Sidi boots. Without getting into how it happened, the bike fell on my heel, pinning my toe into the ground for (what seemed like) a number of seconds before twisting it (and them me) 180 degrees.

My foot doesn't have a single scratch on it, and other than a twisted ankle (the boot was about a half size too big and I have tiny calves, so I can't blame it for that), my feet are completely unscathed.

Without that boot, I probably wouldn't have toes or an Achilles tendon anymore, and by the looks of the boot (which pulled a Chuck Norris and look almost 100% fine), I wouldn't have an "outside" ankle anymore.

And best of luck riding. Just take it easy and wear gear. You can still get into trouble on the EX250.

good to hear that you're ok...

again, dress for the crash, not for the ride...
