Sedici Antonio Waterproof Boots

Really liked these boots when I first had them. The lifetime warranty helped sell me on them. I commute on the Oregon Coast Highway several times a week in all kinds of weather.
My feet were dry and comfortable. A little difficult getting on (they are Italian styled) but very comfortable once past the entry. After a few months my feet were getting wet. Cycle Gear exchanged them with no hassle. The replacement ones were also comfortable but only lasted about 3 months before wet feet again. Took them back, got a store credit and now I am looking for another brand with better waterproofing.

I got these boots because I got tired of wearing footwear that were not protecting my feet! I was taking entirely too many chances. I'm a firm believer that one should dress protected if and when we decide to ride. Although these boots might be geared toward keeping your feet dry during wet seasons, they still offer great protection regarding ankle support, padding and height for protection over similiar brands such as the sedici rapido. Plus you save approx $10 in comparison!

I had been a using a pair of Bilt Pro Tourer boots for about 5 months and I was quite happy with those especially since I bought them on sale.

The day before I was scheduled to leave on a 2500+ mile trip my girlfriend's dog decided my Pro Tourers looked tasty and went to town on them. Needless to say that put me in a tough spot.

A trip to the CycleGear in Madison TN later and I walked away with these in a size 11, since they were out of stock in the Pro Tourers. It's worth noting that these fit slightly narrower than the Pro Tourers. However they have opened up between a quarter and a half size since I bought them.

They were quite stiff at first but having broken in they are comfortable enough to wear all day on the bike and also enough to walk around short distances off the bike.

The zippers feel strong and reliable. The reflectivity is good not great; I wish there was a bigger reflective panel above the heel like on the Pro Tourers.

Protection is amazing!!

Around mile 2200 of my trip my spare jacket got loose and was caught in my chain which locked up my rear wheel and put me into a skid. I managed to slow the bike somewhat but lost control and went over the handlebars around 40-50mph as the bike went down.

I was saved from injury by my helmet and gear and thanks to these boots I only ended up with a minor sprain on my left ankle. Other than a few small scuffs and dings, the boots are fine and 100% useable. I have great confidence in them and would recommend them to anyone on a strict budget who does not want to spend more than $120. If you can spend more I'd suggest something like the Alpinestars Roam boots.

They are mid height and have a stiff shin protector piece.

Overall great boot!

Great boot at a very affordable price point. Was not familiar with this brand before finding them here. Happy to say they fit well and were comfortable right out of the box. Not too bad to walk in, although a wee bit more of arch support would be welcome. I find these to be very well made, the dual zippers make them easy to get on and off and no laces to get caught on the pegs or gear/brake lever. Being waterproof, they might be a little toasty on warm days. I've ridden in mid 70's temps and they were ok. I would buy these again, no question.

Had a pair of Bates Tasers. They were fine, but I wanted a pair of boots with no laces. I heard too many stories about laces getting caught up on pegs. I also wear size 14. These boots came in size 14, were affordable, and comfortable. A good pair of boots that don't break the bank and provide protection.

These are VERY comfortable, and easy to get on and off.
They offer proper ankle and shin protection which EVERY rider should consider before wearing those little short riding shoes ... seriously have you ever seen what a bike ankle and shin injury looks like ? They are flexible enough for walking around in , and a pair of regular jeans goes right over the top of them unless you wear skinny jeans . I ride in So Cal and they breath well even in the summer heat. But I'd rather have decent protection over sweaty feet. I wear a size 10 athletic shoe and ended up getting these in a size 9 and they fit my feet like custom fitted gloves. VERY happy with these for everyday riding on my 650KLR.
