Sidi Cobra Boots (Sold Out)

This model runs pretty true to Sidi’s size conversion chart. Visit our Sidi Sizing Information page for complete size conversion info (ladies can use the chart at the bottom of the page). The upper portion of these boots is fairly roomy and should accommodate larger calves, although there is not much adjustment available with the Velcro flap closure.

The Sidi Cobra boots combine some bold looks with actual performance that strikes a very nice balance between sport, protection, and comfort. What I like best about these boots is the external armor that wraps around from the ankle bone to the back of the calf. This piece not only gives the boots a racy look, it also has been thoughtfully designed to provide great torsional stability without sacrificing front to back flexibility. The inner ankle bone is also covered with an external armor piece, and a reinforced shift pad will keep that area looking new after miles of upshifts and downshifts. Sidi’s patented Vertebra System protects the back of the leg and Achilles tendon, and the area around the Achilles is padded as well. The Cobra boots are constructed entirely of Lorica, a fiber weave synthetic leather that Sidi has used successfully for many years. (Fun trivia fact: “Lorica” is Latin for body armor). Other armor pieces include the replaceable toe slider, a replaceable heel cup, and a molded shin plate to protect the front of your legs. While these boots have an aggressive, racy appearance, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they were to walk around in. These boots would be perfect for the canyon carver who likes tearing up the twisties but needs to actually be able to walk normally once off the bike (most true race boots are pretty stiff).
