I've been wearing Sidi race boots on the track for over twelve years now and despite numerous 'off's' I've not actually broken my feet or ankles whilst wearing them. And yes I know that's seriously tempting fate, but it's a fact.
It may be that I've been lucky but before then I'd managd to break both of my feet (the left one twice) in racing accidents, so I genuinely believe that these armoured hush puppies have stopped the damage on more than one occasion. In fact as I sit and write this I'm recovering from a fractured ankle sustained in bike crash whilst wearing another brand of boots.
I presently race in Sidi Vertigo corsas airs. These are now a few years old and have been superceded by the Sidi Vortice. The basic principles are pretty much the same with adjustable bits to make sure that the boot virtually clamps onto the foot and lower leg. They acheive this by a system of adjustable straps called the Techno system. This allows for a multitude of calf adjustment and also restricts foot movement across the bridge.The Vortice extends the concept a little further than the Corsas also has the neat feature of bolt in replaceable soles. The well tried vertebrae system helps prevent twisting injuries and the shock absorbing heel cup really works. The sliders are vented and made from a race legal metal. Mine have seen hundreds, if not thousands of track miles without a hitch and I really recommend them.
If you're on a budget look at the basic Sidi Vertigo. At £189.99 is £110 heaper than the Vortice and offers probably more protection than any other boot in its class. If you're after the ultimate all rounder then the £229.99 Vertigo mega-gore should tick the boxes. I personally reckon it's the ultimate waterproof sports boot and when you count up the features it's great value for money.
