Squier Posted August 22, 2013 Share ... that you rip both soles right off your shoes?!?! Took a bit of a tumble at Big Red Barn on Saturday. Carried too much speed down a descent, into a drop off, into a corner... and subsequently, rather ineloquently, dismounted by tossing myself over the handlebars. Now, I've gone over the handlebars before, but never have I ripped the soles of my shoes. I was wearing my Sidi Dominator Pro 5's which are about 18 months old. So, the shoes aren't new and have some mileage on them, but I didn't expect this. I'm baffled. IndianRoadie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journosergio Posted August 22, 2013 Share Should always ask your dealer if the shoes are "crash ready" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted August 22, 2013 Share Are you at least still in one piece? Luckily, yes! Remarkably, hardly a scratch. Don't know how that happened. It was one of my harder crashes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
