Held Segrino GTX Motorradstiefel

By comparison, the month before I bought the Segrinos, I bought the Held "Annone GTX," which is the company's top-tier model, and I prefer the Segrino. Both are outstanding, but the Segrino is much lighter without feeling less substantial, and far easier to get in and out of. The Vibram sole Held uses on their models is the best I've owned (and I have 3 pairs of daytona boots). The boots are waterproof, and the Vibram soles offer reassuring grippiness. The Velcro is generous on both straps and I feel secure once fastened. If you're shopping the Held line and waterproofness is essential for you, not that the Goretex membrane on the Segrino is superior to the Annone. On the Segrino, the membrane goes to the top of the shaft; on the Annone, it stops 3/4 of the way up on the shin, which is perplexing. It also means that when taking off and putting the Annone on, you have to fiddle with the loose play of the membrane. No such issue with the Segrino. A great boot, comfortable on and off the bike. No kidding, I have played pickleball for an hour in the Segrino with no discomfort (long story, but it was an impromptu game at my destination and I didn't have a change of clothes haha). A word on sizing: if you're in between and normally wear a 1/2 size, go with the smaller size. I wear a 9.5 US and bought the 43 in the Annone and a 42 in Segrino. The Segrino are a much better fit and, even when wearing a thick sock with the Annone, I still have a bit of slippage in the heel.
