They squeak like hell that’s the only downer. Can’t even find them at the moment. Vortice are ~$500. Lots of loot to drop on a second pair of boots. Problem is, if they are used as a daily they get quite worn out, and I don’t believe Sidi’s were ever intended to be used as such. Dirt gets stuck behind the rear clear plate, soles up front start to lose glue and overall they just get warn out. I doubt I’d want to use $500 boots as dailys and I haven’t gotten to the track this past year at all so that would definitely be collecting dust as just a track boot. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gear-discussion/262557)._
