I ride mainly to and from work. Weekend rides in the mountains about twice a month. I will be doing some track days aloso. So....Which one is for me?
Thanks
Since they both will look ridiculous at work, I say go for the Vertigos. They will provide more protection for about the same price. I just ordered a pair of Sidi Dohas for the commute to work, I should get them next week so I'll post a review then.

The Vertigos have way more protection, and if you're considering trackdays, I wouldn't even look at a low-cut boot like the Streetburner.

I wear a pair of Vergio Corsa boots to work, though my loafers ride along in a backpack. For do-all boots, in my book nothing can beat the Sidis. They're comfortable, easy to adjust, fit like your leg is dipped in latex, and super durable (as learned during my recent low-side). Now, I wouldn't want to wear them that long off the bike, but they're great while in the saddle.
I'm planning on just keeping some shoes at work. I think I'll do the Vertigos. Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Exactly what I do. Beats carrying them around in a pack.
+1 on keeping them at work... I am a chef so my nasty, food ridden shoes can stay with the restaurant.
I, too, keep a pair of shoes at the office. I wear my Sidi Strada Evo Airs when commuting (or any other time I'm on the bike, for that matter).
So here's another vote for the Vertigos. [thumbsup]

someone's never worked in a kitchen... ;)
what people 'shouldn't' know about kitchens could (and probably has!) fill a book!
"I want my steak prepared by pure angelic virgins!"
+1 on the Vertigos, they are great boots...I'm starting to shop around for a summer pair (white, perforated).

:o You mean they weren't angelic? Or, that they weren't virgins? Surely not both!
