Good to know. My SMX3's actually held out water for quite a while before my socks started getting wet.

They hold up ok in a drizzle and car spray, but get a nice soaking rain and you are fucked. That's why I want the Sidi On Roads, they a good all around good touring boots.

FWIW the SMX-5 can be purchased "waterproof" and the SMX-plus boots used to have a waterproof/goretex version so maybe you can find a pair on closeout.
SMX-5 $250 retail http://www.alpinestars.com/SMX_5_Wat.../p/224309.html |

The Vortices look really close to the Vertigo Corsa. The Corsa had the external ankle brace while the regular Vertigo didn't.

I'm on my second pair of Sidis since I started riding. I use the boots until there is a hole in the foot or sole. They are absolutely the best boot and I wouldn't buy anything else.

For $35 you can get a replacement sole. Then, take them to a cobbler and have them replace the sole... I found it worth it to have a spare pair of boots available.
