I actually ordered a pair on eBay about a month ago that were coming from the Netherlands, I still haven’t got them. Decided to try Chromeburner and they came in three days! I actually like them a lot. Really comfortable, wearing them around the house. I will hopefully try them at the track this weekend. I have the crossfire 2 and 3, and the atojo fill way better so far!

I’m thinking about ordering another color lol. Ankle fits more snug than the 2s, but I think that’s a good thing. I like them

I just ordered some Tech 10. I get a pretty hefty discount at Motorsport and Chrome Burner smoked that price.

As much as I love a good deal, Chromeburner is one of the biggest grey markets sale sites. Everything is purchased illegally and sold from Europe and shipped to the US.

There was a $3.67 charge on my credit card alongside the 367.13 for the boots. They called it a "foreign transaction fee", all things considered that didn't bother me at all!!! Chromeburner.com is legit!

I wear a size 12 sneaker, 11.5 work boot. I tried on a size 46 crossfire 3 srs at the dealership and it was too short for me. These size 47 atojo's are the on the big side for me. Little longer than I need and they feel big in the toe box. Might have to double up my socks. They are really slim through the ankle and that fits me great through that area.

And they look awesome!!!
Try a set of insoles, they usually work at adjusting fit pretty well.

Yes they do fit pretty snug through the ankles, particularly side to side. The fit feels pretty spot on to me. I assume with time the ankle area will loosen up some. Have only worn in my apartment Smile

I’m curious as well. That’s a pretty big accusation to make about a competitor.

Sure. This is from a close source to motonation. Apparently they have put in multiple requests on eBay/elsewhere to shut them down. Sidi does not sell products to them.

They aren't a direct competitor as we are in different markets. They are in new as we are mostly in used boots.

It still sounds really weird, how are they supposed to get their hands on such large stock of a brand new model through illegal channels (the story behind that has to be interesting if it's true)? Looking at Google Maps and street view, they seem to be a pretty big dealer in Netherlands.

I have no idea either. It looks like they have a lot of stock of a lot of different brands as well. They have a big presence on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/str/chromeburner) too however have been reported multiple times but eBay allows them to continue selling. They have good customer service though and 100% feedback! haha

One big issue is they are violating MAP pricing for many brands on the site.

Tried mine out today. Was alpine stars guy for long time. Then got Gaerne SG12s. Gaernes much better than alpine stars. New SIDIs better than Gaerne. The hinged ankle very nice. Just one guys opinion take it for what it’s worth. Ordered mine off chromeburner. Ordered them Wednesday showed up Friday paid $30 extra for fast fed ex shipping. Not too shabby coming from Europe. No break in needed they are good to go out of the box.

Did you go up a size or same as your shoe size ? Whats your opinion on the fit, are they narrow compared to SG12's ?

Anyone wearing POD or similar knee braces with the new boot? How is the fit and closing of the top portion of the boot?

I forgot to hit the free fedex shipping, ordered last week and received a notice from postnl that the package was received but no information from the tracking number. Hopefully they will show up someday I cant wait to get them.

Any comments on width of boot? Sidis usually run a bit narrow, and I was wondering if the changed up the fit at all with this model? Thanks, good looking boot.

Anyone have a size comparison to SG12's? I wear a size 11 in SG12's and am wondering if I need to go up a size in the Atojo.
