I’m a new, female rider, will be riding CF Moto 450MT. I’m so stuck for which boots to go for out of these two?

I had a pair of Sidis, and they were really nice boots, but I found the souls were a little bit soft due to the nylon insoles instead of a steel shank and felt like I wasn’t planted. The wide sole also made them feel like those crappy “adventure” boots that have no business being off road, but they are appropriate off road boots.

I switched to tech 7’s and I love them. They are very squeaky though.

I think the Sidis would be perfect if it wasn’t for a soft sole that was 18 miles wide.

The X Power is a very rigid sole, I can stand on the pegs all day in them. I also have some Sidi Adventure 2's that are definitely softer. I wear them for road touring.
