Ryan O has those exact boots. I have the standard Sidi. not the Drag Boot. and my US size 10 fits perfect in the US 10 size boot.
Hope that helps!!

Karl, BUY THEM!!! You will love them. I love mine and would buy another pair in a minute! They weigh almost nothing and are very comfortable. They have armor in all the right places plus the toe pieces are replaceable.
I wear a size 13 shoe and the size 13 boots fit me fine.

I like my Fastlanes, but they are kinda hot. Do these Sidis breathe well?

Dean,
I couldn't really tell you. I take mine off and put flip flops on between rounds...
The few times they do run us back to back at the track the boots seem to be fine. My feet don't get too hot.
Sorry I can't help more.

I dig them. I wish that I would have bought them earlier so that I wouldn't have worn the a hole in the toes of my regular Sidi boots. The replaceable protectors are sweet! The only issue is that they may take a pass or two to get used to them because the toe protectors give you a traction issue if you usually creep forward by pushing with your toes.
Other than that, they're really comfortable and quite a bit more protective than just about any other drag boot on the market.
Having said that, I really want a pair of the Oakley driving boots that Shawn Gann wears. They look pimp!

Been having mine (SIDI Drag) for 2 months now and love them. If I remeber correctly, when I bought mine online, the sizes were lie 9.5-10 and 10.5-11. I wear a 10 so I went with the 10.5-11 and they fit fine.
Regarding the toe sliders, they do slide thats for sure. Be careful when staging if you balance with your toes and not flat footed because your feet will slide away from you if not careful.

I wear a 10 in pretty much everything, including Nike's. So I guess I would say yes, get the 9.5-10.
I remember back in 2003 I had bought some Sidi Vert 2's. I had bought a 10 and couldn't get my foot in them. That's why I went with the bigger size this time. I didn't want to take a chance with them being too small.
My drag boots fit good, but could possibly be a 1/2 size smaller in length. But since I have a wide foot, I probably would bust the seams on a smaller boot.
