From Motorways to Mountain Passes

Boots Built for Long-Distance Touring

There’s a moment on every proper tour when you realise this isn’t just another ride.

It might happen late morning on the M6, the bike humming beneath you and miles of open road ahead. Or it could be halfway up a high mountain pass, the air thin, the horizon changing at every bend. Big miles, mixed weather, varying terrain, that’s long-distance touring.

And when you’re covering that kind of ground, your boots aren’t just footwear. They’re part of the journey.

For riders who want gear that’s built to endure hard days in the saddle and tackle whatever the road throws at them, Sidi has two brilliant options: the Adventure 2 Gore and the Taurus GTX.

Both boots bring serious performance to touring, but they each shine in slightly different ways, without ever compromising on comfort or protection.

On the Road and Beyond: Adventure 2 Gore

If your touring plans include a bit of everything, long miles on the motorway, twisty B-roads, and the occasional off-piste stretch, the Adventure 2 Gore boots are built to handle it all.

These boots are designed for riders who don’t want their touring confined to smooth tarmac. With a robust build and premium materials, they’re ready for:

All-weather confidence thanks to a Gore-Tex waterproof lining
Strong protection around ankles and shins for real-world situations
Durable construction that stands up to high mileage and varied terrain
Grippy soles that give sure-footed traction on wet roads or hard surfaces

Whether you’re riding the North Coast 500, heading into the French Alps, or exploring gravel-lined backroads, the Adventure 2 Gore delivers the confidence you need to keep going.

They’re reliable, rugged and built for riders who want more than just the road beneath their wheels.

Road-Focused Touring Made Comfortable: Taurus GTX

Some tours are all about the miles, long days on the road, climbing through valleys, cruising scenic routes and stopping only for fuel or a quick café break. That’s where the Sidi Taurus GTX boots really come into their own.

These are boots built with touring comfort and everyday practicality in mind. They’re ideal if your focus is maximising road miles while keeping your feet dry, supported and ready for whatever comes next.

Highlights include:

Gore-Tex waterproofing to keep feet dry in changing weather
Comfort-oriented design for hours in the saddle
Reinforced protection at key impact zones
Flexible fit that’s easy to live in both on and off the bike

Whether you’re heading down to the Pyrenees, riding the Southern Uplands, or looping through rural England and Wales, the Taurus GTX keeps your feet happy, day after day.

Touring isn’t about one perfect road. It’s about the thousand things that happen along the way: the changing weather, unexpected sights, fuel stops in unknown towns, and that feeling when you crest the next ridge and see more road ahead.

Both the Adventure 2 Gore and Taurus GTX are built for riders who take touring seriously, for those who want gear that works as hard as they do.
