Motorcyclist magazine: "The Vertigo is a comfortable assemblage of bright ideas that really work. And once adjusted, you don't think about the Sidi's again until its time to take them off. Form, in this case, is a direct result of superior function."
Robb Report magazine: "Step up to a pair of the highest functioning racing and sport touring boots on the market today."
Pros: Like the look of my all black boots - subtle but nice race styling. I did remove the heel pad (a little much for my daily commute).
I REALLY like the adjustable thigh feature - perfect for wearing leathers and then switching to wearing under jeans/pants.
Peg and brake/shifter feel is very good and MUCH better than my old rain boots!!
Cons: Not too fond of the clear heel pad, but it looks very functional. I will reinstall for trackdays.
Not sure if I would want to walk around for a long time in them although I did have to wear them in class for a few hours this week.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: Extra volume fit my EEE feet very good!
I haven't had any rain yet, but they look water "bombproof" and very well made - hope they last longer than my old Alpinestars!!

Mega Waterproof
By Jesse from NYC
Pros: Strong positive feel when shifting. Easy to walk in. Nice ski-boot type release in the back, which I rarely use because the boot walks so nicely.
Cons: Took a few miles to get used to the width of the boot.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: True to size, however! If you have a wider than average foot, you'll absolutely love this boot. I don't know what my width measurement is, but it's roomy on me
Comments: I have finally ridden this boot in pouring rain and it's WATERPROOF! A torrential NYC thunderstorm soaked me, but my feet stayed dry! Initially this boot took some getting used to, being wider... (Read the rest of this review)
