(987/365)
My Sidi Adventure Rain's arrived today at work. They came in around 10am [ish]. I immediately put them on and wore them for the rest of the day.
At about 2PM I was going to take them off when I realized I could put my custom orthotics (special insoles for my crappy feet) in them which made them more snug and more comfortable.
It took about 2 to 3 miles of riding to get used to the new shifting feel. I'm not used to the rear brake feel (in fact, I almost locked up my rear on the way home this evening as I can't "fell it" yet).
I am really amazed at how the slightest change to my riding gear, style, etc affects me. I think it is because I ride every day and I get into a groove (rut?).
As soon as I got home, I fired up the KLX and took it for a spin to see how shifting was affected. For some reason, it was much easier to shift (they probably expect riders to wear MX style boots anyway).
Cool item #2 arrives tomorrow.
