Covered in Dust 165 Posted September 5, 2017 I picked up a pair of these last week. I know some of you don't like white boots, but I do and this is a good price. I bought 11.5 and they are bigger than my old 12.5's with a little wider toe box. My feet will be happier on long rides. Gonna break them in in Utah next week. https://www.cyclegear.com/gear/sidi-crossfire-2-ta-boots-2012?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=remarketing&utm_campaign=Lower Funnel&utm_content=&utm_term=Facebook-DPA-DesktopNF CiD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 435 Posted September 5, 2017 great choice IMHO, actually the best choice IMHO. I use the SRS type which are great for the replacement factor, however they come in tighter in width than the TAs. I used TAs for years, but switched to SRS. If I was sponsored (meaning free boots) I would still use TAs, but I just blow through soles too fast. You chose the perfect boot for the SoCal sun. That white color makes a big difference in foot temp comfort. Sidi Crossfire TA. This is late into their life after at least one, maybe even 2 resoles and with full cleaning and white shoe dressing painted over them (It looked super cheesy up close--but bright white cool at photo distance!!). They last a long long time when taken care of, as well as being very protective and comfortable at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenosan 2 Posted September 6, 2017 As the resident Luddite I am still wearing these same leather Alpinestars I wore in 1979. Probably the same dirty sox and under ware too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenosan 2 Posted September 6, 2017 I did have a beard once back in the seventies Dave when Wolfman Jack's beard was the fashion of the day. But I gave it up when I couldn't do it justice or look like Wolfman Jack. My blond hair and careless eating habits made it look ridiculous. That was when I I decided to no longer be a slave to fashion in Beards or Boots since I haven't come across any real improvement over the a good pair of leather Alpinestars .
