SiamJim Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'm looking to order my first pair of Sidi boots - Discovery - and I was wondering if they typically run true to size? I've got to have them shipped overseas so returning them is a long and expensive process if I get it wrong. Link to comment
ShovelStrokeEd Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I take the same size boot in Sidi, Oxtar, BMW and Alpinstars. A 45, if that matters. I did find the Sidi to be a little low in the arch but for width and length, they were fine. Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I found that Sidi and most other European boots run true to European sizing, but the conversion tables to US sizes are way out. A 45 is a US 11, 44 is 10 1/2, but the tables say something else. Link to comment
SiamJim Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks for the replies guys. So, if I trust the conversion table on the SIDI website I should be OK? Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks for the replies guys. So, if I trust the conversion table on the SIDI website I should be OK? Yes - with one exception. The Sidi On Road boot tends to run a big large. I wear a 45 in everything except this boot. The 45 was too big (and the 44 is perfect unless I have really thick socks on.) Link to comment
sb955i Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I have a pair of Vertabrae's. I find them a bit narrow, enough to force my little toes inward, and quite uncomfortable walking anywhere like that. I used the US sizing at motonation.com. YMMV of course with a different style. Link to comment
Francis Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 How about narrow sizes? My feet need a narrower(B) last rather than a (D) last that seems to be the usual sizing for these boots. Link to comment
sb955i Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Wouldn't know, best to talk to someone in the biz. I have a contact at Motonation ( no affiliation, just a satisfied customer ), please PM me if you'd like it. sb Link to comment
Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 How about narrow sizes? My feet need a narrower(B) last rather than a (D) last that seems to be the usual sizing for these boots. Me too Francis. The boot that I found to fit was the BMW Goretex boot. It can be resoled with a vibram sole and has lasted me 6+ years. Link to comment
