Sidi Vertigo boot

This item is the one of the new boots by Sidi, the Vertigo. It shares some features with the Vertigo Corsa. A list of technical specs can make for dry reading so we invite you to stop by our showroom to see this outstanding product. That said, below please find a wealth of information on this model. We carry Sidi's Vertigo in black as shown. Note: Translating European to American shoe sizes can be very tricky. A good fit in one European manufacturers boot does not always carry over to another European product. We encourage you to visit us for a personal fitting. Sidi Vertigo specific features: The patented and trademarked vertebra system is retained in the Vertigo making the boot a highly articulated piece of technology. Each vertebra panel moves independently which allows enhanced performance and, at the same time, also forms a shield protecting the back of the rider's leg. The Vertigo features a replaceable thermoplastic resin ankle ball protection cup. Bolt on (no Velcro!) replaceable, adjustable and aerodynamic nylon skid pads on the toe. The shin deflector plate is the only replaceable deflector plate available in racing today. The Vertigo's shin plate features matte finished thermoplastic resin construction. Features shared across the Sidi Vertigo line: Every Vertigo boots outer is fully constructed with Lorica. Lorica is a composite micro fiber material created from strands that are so fine, each one is less than one thousandth the thickness of silk. When injected with special resins, these fibers act like natural leather skin, but with the addition of better strength, softer texture, lighter weight and better moisture protection. Lorica is also highly resistant to abrasion - yet it still breathes - with more than three million pores per square centimeter. Easy to maintain, Lorica doesn't stain and can't be scratched and offers, reduced weight, more flexibility and more feel than leather racing boots. The Vertigo series of boots are the only race boots to offer a patented adjustable calf system designed to accommodate calves of virtually any size in a clean, supportive and protective design that utilizes the patented and trademarked Sidi Vertebra system. With a simple adjustment of the Tecno VR knob the internal monofilament line will evenly close and wrap the boot around the riders calf in micro adjustments for a perfect fit. A maximum adjustment of 5cm is provided. Three stage, shock absorbing heel cup molded in three different densities of plastic is one element that sets the Vertigo apart from all other sport boots. This system offers a built in shock absorbing range of 3mm. The heel cups internal area is also fully lined with impact resistant thousand-air cell memory foam for and extra level of comfort and protection. Each Vertigo boot is lined throughout with lightweight perforated Teflon treated fabric in order to allow moisture to "breath" out to the Lorica outer and dry quickly with no mould build up in the long term. Gear change pad is molded of Dupont Techno-polymers, which ensure that the plastics qualities will not change in high or low temperatures. A new dual compound, non-slip sole for maximum comfort and safety.
