Joe Rocket for the street.

Shopping for new track boots this winter. Going to go Sidi or Puma. Waiting to try on at the bike show.

SIDI something. Three people have crashed in them and no broken ankles or feet. One dragged by a truck down the road, one low side ane one hit by a car.

Violators for me too - only ones that fit my calf. Race & street - I'm on my second pair (just plain wore the last ones out after several years of racing and street use)

I have those too, because with them I can touch the ground. I also have a pair of A starts track books, its very simple, I forget what model it was. I had to go to the cobber and add an extra sole on though so I can touch the ground.

Hey Ninjakel, how are the docs for riding? I was thinking of getting a pair since it has some decent thick rubber in the front for reach.

Have you heard any horror stories of the new ones being made in China and falling apart? I saw some cheap ones on Amazon.com but everyone is complaining about the quality.
