Incredibly comfortable. Over 16,000 miles. But I suspect the overall quality is not as high as it once was. Same as Gaerne. In the nineties they looked almost hand made .

Exactly what happened to other Sidi boots of us.

I have been using Sidi mx boots since the late 80s.
Last pair of Crossfire’s have literally crumbled.
Most if not all the plastic components have literally crumbled off the boots.
The boots themselves are still good give one or two buckles and a loose sole that can be glued back or replaced. I like my boots but sadly can’t use them anymore.

I got them out this summer to find that the sole had come off one of them. Out of warranty but thought dealer might help me contact Sidi. No Joy. Went to cobbler and he said no point even trying to glue back on as the whole sole was crumbling apart. Emailed Sidi and they don’t think it’s a manufacturing fault and gave me the address of a cobbler they use to stick back on ( that says something about manufacturing quality). I asked if he had new soles and have not heard anything back for over a fortnight now. Very frustrating that I have a £400 pair of boots that are useless. Have had to go back to my old ones which I’ve had for nearly 20 years and had no problems with

I see in the comments guys having multiple pairs of Sidis fail. Why would you keep buying expensive boots that fall apart?

Soles can be reglued, but worse for me, the hard plastic moulding that fixes the shoe end buckle has split and is falling (crumbling) apart. These expensive boots, despite very little and very kind wear, are now useless! Not happy, SiDI.
