[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 214887, member: 16241"] Here's some text from my Sidi SRS review: [i]The combination of the calf adjustment system and good range in the buckles makes for a boot that will fit a wide variety of riders, except ME. I have a small foot (8.5-9 ) coupled with a short but wide calf (18.25" without MX pants) so I figured I would have to modify the calf adjustment system with a pattern file to fit me. The good part is modifying the calf system for a wider range of adjustment is quick, easy, and it should work great. The problem for me is even with the mods I don't have anywhere near enough room to fit my CTI Edge brace in there. Okie is a big guy but he didn't have any problems fitting his Asterisk braces in the non-SRS Flex Force model, so this problem seems isolated to my weird physical dimensions. I really like this boot so I resigned myself to modifying the calf adjustment and using them when I could get away without wearing braces. Unfortunately what I found was that even with the mods I wasn't going to get the calf adjusted to the point where I could get the ankle hinge to work to my satisfaction even without the brace. I tried riding around with the upper buckles removed and found the sweet spot. Excellent comfort and shifting. So I took some safety wire and extended the range of the calf adjustment well beyond the amount I could modify the current setup and put the buckles back on. I got this to work but the problem is this looks to be beyond the range that I could modify the calf attachment points without major effort. So this really great boot doesn't look like it's going to work for me. For someone with more conventional body parts I'd highly recommend this boot. [/i] [/QUOTE]
