So, how should a good pair of boots fit? Really snug or like a normal pair of shoes, or is it a matter of personal preference? I just ordered a pair of Sidi Strada Evo Air boots and I can't wiggle my toes and I need a bit more width as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
That's how they should fit

Good motorcycle boots don't "break in" very much so don't expect them to loosen up very much.

Sidi boots are a little narrower than most others.

nice and snug to hold everything in place and eliminate friction if you crash.

they should be tighter than normal shoes.

This is all good info. Thanks!
I ended up buying a set of Teknic Chicane's in size 12. I normally wear 11.5-12 and my feet are a bit wide. I really like the fit of these boots and they have loosened up a bit after being worn 5-6 times. I do have a few small gripes though. The first is that the insole is chintzy and has already ripped. Not a big deal since I have a gel insole I can take out of some shoes I don't wear. Air flow is ok but could be a lot better. And last but not least, I couldn't sneak up on someone if I tried. Squeaky! Overall I'm happy and spent $152.99 on them from motorcycle-superstore.com and got free shipping.
