I'm sure he was.

I was.

They are marketed toward the rider below.

If you think you'll see him in a pair of Sidi's anytime soon, you are silly, better yet, nevermind.

I am, I totally stated that I was taking the opposing view for the sake of argument... On the other hand, a smart manufacturer markets to his demographic and in this case Bata are geniuses!!! I bet they sell millions of these things! Hell, I'd buy a pair for beach cruising in Daytona!

I doubt they offer less protection than the average tennis shoe. Shit, considering the number of guys I see wearing Rainbows and riding around here, NC would make a pretty decent market for them... Hmmm... I wonder how you open a franchise with these people? lol

Most sandals or low tops would come off in any serious get off. They offer zero protection should they stay on. Like gloves that have no armor or padding, they are fashion only and give the wearer false security.
