I will do a quick ride report Saturday just to compare fit. Well... as best I can anyway since these are half a size to small for me.

The difference in the leathers used is quite interesting. The $90 boots have an almost vinyl appearance to them. Not that I know jack shit about leather, mind you
I'd be interested in a one year report from someone who might use these boots daily
Boo hoo nope
So Sidi does all the heavy lifting in engineering, design, testing, marketing, product support (repairs and warranty protection) and then some cheap Chinese knockoff company produces them for $90 and sells them over the net and everybody says 'Hooray, count me in'. That's fine, but eventually when Sidi doesn't do future enhancements because somebody rips off their effort, or cheapens their own product in order to compete, don't complain. I like to save money as much as anyone but buying knockoff products just ain't the right thing to do. Whether it is a Rolex, software, pirated music or movies, car parts or motorcycle gear....it's all the same, stealing someone elses ideas and hard work to make a buck.
Yo Brad im a little confused as to your comments about the size.I looked at there sizing chart and it looks as though there size 12 is 11 inches and of course any size13 I could find where more money
THANKS

Hail Hail. Fantastic write up. Does this company offer any other styles? Are they comfortable?
Well, of course they don't have Black in size 12! Just my luck! Another funny thing is their Size Chart. According to their measurements, my size should be an 8! My actual foot measures in at 11-1/4". I'll have to wait and see if they put some Black ones for sale in a size 12.
I forgot to mention that these seem to run a half size small. It would be a safe bet. This pair I ordered is a 9.5 and are just a bit small for me. I did not realize before I ordered them but I ordered my SIDI in a 10 and should have done the same with the speed. 9.5 wide is what I normally wear in dress and tennis shoes. ...so my wide feet may have more to do with it than the shoe size. Just keep that in mind.
These may be up for sale soon.
Don, that is a very Sidi kind of fit. I can't wear Sidi because they are too narrow for my feet and so I moved to other brands. If these clones are designed after the Sidi originals, I would think the fit would be the same as well
