Time to refresh my 25 year old Sidi Verti 2 boots. Bought the same make and model. I guess these things held up very well. I did replace the soles 10 years ago. The Velcro on the flaps kind of wore out. One of the plastic heel protecters came off. The pad for shifting gave out. Leather is showing some weathering. These things really protect your feet and ankles. They are very comfortable too. $329. Made in Romania.
