I just got my Sidi Force Flex SRS boots in, and I can't believe what I had been putting my poor feet thru up till now. I've never wore any type of riding boot that was this comfortable. Once I got them it took me about 5 minutes to get the ACS (Adjustable Calf System) set up perfect to accomadate to my knee cups, and whala, perfection. And the boot is so easy to put on. It almost folds off to the side from the ankle, and is like putting on a shoe. The best ankle support and movement I have ever used in a boot. The buckles are great also. And in fact, I'm wearing them as I type this:eek: comfy. I am in no way regreating the (knock on wood;) ) selling my Techs. My son will be getting the new mini Sidi Force to replace his outgrown Tech 6s. Listen to Thump, he knows what he's talking about. I am a beliver:cool:
