The new Sidi Mag-1 boots are top-of-the-line race boots loaded with technology and new features.

They're sort of a slimmed-down evolution of the Sidi Vortice boots (review) but made lighter (claimed 17%), much easier to wear and they're also very comfortable, even for street use.

New features include a redesigned "Tecno-3" ratcheting micrometric closure system that is easier to use.

It now includes magnets to hold the keepers and vinyl-coated stainless steel wires in place of the monofilament of the Vortice boots.

The exterior of the Mag-1 boots is more profiled than the Vortice boots; new carbon fiber support beams that prevent lateral flex have been moved to the inside, reducing external bulk.

The shock-absorbing rear heel protector has also gone on a diet with a sleeker design, as has the inside section of each boot to provide better contact with the bike and improved aerodynamics.

Even the interior of the Mag-1 boots has received a makeover, with a new 3D-type liner that is more comfortable than other Sidi boots.

But probably the most impressive result of this evolution is the amount of fore/aft flexibility made available by the ladder-type front and rear flex panels. 

The panels make the Mag-1 boots very comfortable to wear -- more comfortable, in fact, than any other full race boots we've reviewed and even more comfortable than many street or touring boots.

The reflective tape in the rear hints at the fact that the Mag-1 boots are not just for racing; they're also among the most protective yet comfortable motorcycle boots available for street and sport riding too.

The most prominent front and rear feature of the Mag-1 boots are the new front arch and rear Achilles tendon panels that use a specially designed Sidi elastic textile with the injection-molded polyurethane "ladder" type support.

Sidi calls these "comfort panels" and they sure are; in fact, I think this is the most significant part of the new Mag-1 boots because along with the new liner, this makes the boots very comfortable to wear for street riding.

This came as a complete surprise and actually somewhat of a shock to me, since most of the sharply-focused motorcycle race boots feel more like torture devices for street riding. I never thought I'd use the words "comfortable" and "motorcycle race boots" in the same sentence, but there you have it.

The Sidi Mag-1 boots are surprisingly comfortable and that is the first thing I noticed about them. Other than what some might consider an over-the-top look for street or touring wear, the Mag-1 boots have all the protection you need and better comfort than most motorcycle boots of any type.

The new Tecno-3 closure system is much easier to use than previous versions and it now really does allow a custom fit at the arch, ankle and calf. 

Dial in just the right amount of snugness for your personal comfort and you're good to go, all with an amount of fore/aft flexibility that you just won't find in other race boots.

The new lining material also helps in this regard and even the red liner at the top of each boot helps protect the back of the calf from chafing.

Some motorcyclists will scoff at the idea of wearing full-on race boots on the street, but we've received many emails from riders who have gone through a crash and now want the best protection money can buy. 

If that's you and if you've avoided race boots in the past due to their clumsy fit and uncomfortable feel, I say it's time to try a pair of the new Sidi Mag-1 boots and I think you'll be surprised.
