Ladies what boots are you riding in?

Looking at boots for the wife, just curious what the TWF ladies are wearing these days?

My wife has a pair of icons- superduty, I think. She likes them and they seem to have good protection. She actually lowsided in them and they held up very well. They run small, though, so if you go that route order a size larger than you normally would.

Axo Strykers for commuting/shorter rides.

Teknic Violator 2's for longer/more spirited rides.

I've also got a brand new pair of Teknic Freestyles (replaced by the manufacturer under warranty), but I don't wear em.

Old ones - now my daughters wear them: Sidi Vertigo Corsa

New ones - Sidi Vortice Air Race Boots. Absolutely DIVINE race boots, they open up like ski boots and the bottom of the ball of the foot is replaceable. Fantastic boots.

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)

Sidi verts. LOVE them.

I usually wear them almost all the time when i ride now. I used to ride in Doc Martens, but I feel more comfy with the sidi's.

I cant remember the name brand, but mine are made by SIDI, they are mens boots and I've had them a few years with no complaints. I need new ones as I've worn these to death but I havent gotten around to getting them yet. They crash well, they wear well, I love them.

A* SMX-4, they make for both men and women. Mine are silver and black. Absolutely the most comfortable but do make it hard to touch as I can't flex my ankle as much. Just something to consider for the wife since she is already vertically challenged.

Setup Visions, unfortunately, they quit selling them a while back...
