    How does this compare to my Alpinestars Corozals? I bought the Corozals because I ride on gravel and dirt roads but didn’t really need a full off road boot. I noticed “Itchy boots” has gone from Discovery to Expedition in Rev’it’s line. Edit much later: I am now leaning towards an actual dirt boot. It just took me a while to realize the level of protection needed and provided by “Adventure” gear.

    As somebody looking to start motorcycling I do prefer the adventure style bike and therefore boot. However, I'm not tall and would like a boot which could potentially add some height. Do these boots provide any increase in height? I know some Daytona's do but I'm not keen on them. Any other adventure boot recommendations?

    I’m going to give you my impression because, even though we have had some of the Daytonas in for customers, and even though we are huge Daytona fans, I have not ridden in a pair. The Daytona Trans Tourmans are incredibly strong and well built, but we have not ranged them because we thought they were simply too heavy, too cumbersome and too expensive. If you want the the very best made, most robust adventure boots on the market, go for the Daytonas. But the Klims are going to be much nicer to live with.

    Hello Chris, what's your opinion on the Sidi Adventure 2? Regards.

  • @Motolegends

    Dear Manuel, The Sidi Adventure 2 is a great boot. They kind of invented this category. They are a supremely strong boot, and probably more robust than the Klims. I would say they were better suited to the more serious end of adventure riding. I have had a pair, and they are impressive, but they do not cross categories in the quite the way the Klims do. The Klim boots will cope with gentle off-road work, but they are not what you would choose for the really gnarly stuff. But for the road and for walking off the bike, the Klims are in a different league to the Sidis. The Klims are therefore better all rounders. The Sidis are also technically dual purpose, but they are further down the off-road continuum than the Klims.

    You are wrong on the pronunciation. It is pronounced "Climb", as in climb a mountain. There is an accent over the I. I read on forums, from people that work there, it is definitely pronounced like climb. Also, look at any videos on the Klim channel here are KZread.

    Sounds like the perfect touring boot--with one major exception; it's UGLY. Yes I want the all the functions offered for my adventure ride, but often those adventures culminate in a nice restaurant or lounge or the lobby of a nice hotel. I can tone down my adventure CLOTHING with the various brands and styles available and still keep the functionality within spec and reason, but as we all know (fairly or unfairly) a man is most often judged by his footwear and while these sound like the business, they fail miserably in the looks department. I demand function AND looks, so for me, the quest continues! Knowing Klim and their marketing, I don't imagine we'll have to wait long for the new and improved Klim Adventure GTX II boot. I'll be waiting...

    It is not a boot meant for any real off road riding. If you have a water crossing, the boot get flooding, and it won't dry. So it is really just posing as a real adventure boot. If you go any real off road riding you don't want a water proof liner. So the boot do not flood and retain water. It is a good looking poser boot, good for fire breaks hard pack and grass cover road to the camp site.

    Dear Jamie, What comes across is that you decided you wanted to be rude about these boots, and the people you perceived would be wearing them, before you watched or listened to the review, if you ever actually did do so. And I suggest this because it is made absolutely clear in the review that these are not proper, outright, off-road boots. So you have brought absolutely nothing new to the table. The Klims are adventure or dual-sport boots for those who want to mix road riding with some trail riding and a bit of walking. I understand that some people don’t need an excuse to be rude, but it would seem that because the wearers of boots like this are not like you and don’t ride perhaps where you ride, they are worthy of being termed ‘poseurs’. This is clearly your favoured term of abuse, as you use it twice in your short review, albeit incorrectly spelt. Really, if you have nothing interesting or insightful to say, you should perhaps hold, rather than express, an opinion. You have said nothing about the boots that we had not already made abundantly clear. Not sure also that I agree with your central premise about waterproofing. On an off-road bike you would need to be in pretty deep water for it to come over the shaft. This kind of water is, in no way, totally implicit in all off-road riding. And if your are in shallower water, say less that two feet, you will be much dryer in the Klims than you would be in a classic, non-waterproof, off-road boot.
