Greetings folk,
I am contemplating purchasing the Sidi Canyon boot. While not as beefy as the Oxtar Infinities I know the Canyons are not a small boot, but I want the added protection. Has anyone used this boot on an early model FJ, and if so did it give you trouble shifting? I wear a size 45 so while not being Sasquatch I don't have itty bitty feet. Cheers in advance for your help!
Dennis
If it's any help, I wear the Infinities, size 47 (U.S size 13, Aus/UK 12) and have had no problems with shifting on any bike I've ridden including an'86 FJ.
Don't know about the Sidi's.
Thanks for the reply. I should be ok then, as the Infinities are definitely a bulkier boot vs the Canyon. Plus, if you don't have an issue with a larger foot (I'm a 44 in Oxtars) then I should be fine.
Cheers,
Dennis
I got the Infinities from NEWENOUGH (http://www.newenough.com/boots/waterproof_sport_street_touring_boots/tcx/infinity_gtx_touring_motorcycle_boots.html), they ae rebranded now, TCX instead of OXTAR.
Same boots.
Gotta say, they are really comfortable, I've often worn them on 12 hour plus plane trips.(Saves luggage space)
I would buy another pair.
Yeah, I saw that. I think TCX makes BMW's boots. They make a nice boot, and I think I'm going to pick up their Air-Tech XCR boots (with the high breathability version of the gore laminate) for the summer. But I really like the Canyons for Fall/winter/Spring/extended tour duty.
