I’ve always liked SIDI boots. They feel like slippers straight out of the box – those shearling-lined moccasins your uncle wears around the house—at least that’s what my experience has been. So when I heard that SIDI had unveiled a new adventure-touring boot, the Taurus GTX, I was curious what would be available for round-the-world travelers looking for all-weather protection in mixed terrain.
What I didn’t expect was the design.
The new Taurus GTX doesn’t look like a typical ADV boot, which are often just softened and more subtle motocross offerings – think brown leather and black plastics instead of bright purple and shiny silver fasteners. That said, the Taurus GTX is apparently inspired by SIDI’s original motocross line… but looks can be deceiving. What I see is not a throwback to the OG days of off-road riding and racing, but a fresh take on the ADV boot business.
