I picked up my Sidis at Blackfoot last year. It was a couple days before the bike show and I asked the guy I he had any deals going on due to the show... Said he didn't , but he still knocked off 50$ from the sticker.
I like the adv. rain boots, they fit narrow, so I went up a size.

Just got some Sidi rain boot from dualsportplus today because I couldn't handle having my feet wet. I am glad I spent the extra money and ordered these boots. To explain Sidi boots is like dreaming the perfect boot for dual sport and poof $400 later you have the perfect boot, not to soft not to hard, real grip and awesome insoles, not bulky, light and look kick ass. I really want to wear them everywhere.
Thanks Corney for the Thor boots, but they were like sponges in water. One little splash and my feet were wet.
For anyone who plans on staying in the sport should get boots like these or similar quality, or drive with wet, cold feet.

My thing with waterproof boots is that means they don't breath either

Watherproof breatable materials like Goretex will let your feet breath a bit also. I have never has a problem with waterproof boots sweating much that weren't Gortex, mind you that this is my first pair of motorcycle leather waterproof boots. If you only drive in the summer you are ok, but I plan on driving all threes seasons.

My Alpinestar WP Scouts are very good for waterproof and have never found them too hot (of course this is Saskatchewan) but they are probably lacking in the support column for most of you wildmen.
