SportsBoots - can feel foot peg vibrations through sole - good or bad?

Hiya Chaps,

Newbie question.

Riding with the Sidi boots, I really noticed the footpegs virating away, and when tyre skips over stones and bumps etc.  With my old prexports, with their thick soles - I can't feel a thing... about anything!


Is that just the way sports boots are?  (Ie the more rider input, about what the bike is doing, the better?)


Now, I reckon the sidi could become iritating with a long ride.  My kinda riding.  

Does the foot vibrations become "background noise" after a while - or will it be RSI after a long run????  (My hands tingle from the handle bar vibrations after a good ride.  Not sure I want the same for the Feet as well!)


Cheers
Martin  

Hey Marty, what kind of bike are you riding?  Quality boots are going to provide just that...feedback.  Think if you could ride barefooted, how you'd be able to really get a feel for the amount of pressure applied to the brake, etc.  Once the boots get broke in they'll become a bit better.  If they still bother you, maybe you could get some of those "gellin like a felon" insoles by Dr Scholl
