Thank you also, bluedragon, for reminding me that I hate cleaning white shoes! (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/tongue.gif) Sorry! That is a good price though, are those Vertebra or Vertigo Corsa?

I don't know when you got this price quoted, but they are currently listed @ $234, and $339 for the Corsas.

Y (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/pissed.gif) Yeah those SOB's said gee you must have found an old link for $199 so we cannot honor that price. I was like good I would rather give me business to new enough!
I have been thinking about going down a size from the current 44 to a 43 in my Sidi Vertigos and possibly upgrading to the Corsa at the same time. I have not decided for sure but, it just
might be possible to persuade me to sell mine (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/biggrin.gif) I have only used them for about 3 months.

If you read up a bit further in this thread someone found a link on their site to Sidi Vertigo boots for $199 and when they tried to order them they were told they must have reached an old link and they would not honor that price. Any reputable retailer would have honored the price and then fixed the bad link afterwards.

Yup, your right, the same people. Duh!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/idea3.gif)
Well, I clicked on the link that was posted and didn't see those boots for $199. Did the price change over night?? Was it a bad link?? I don't know, but the link that was posted didn't show $199. If there truly was a link that had that price, I agree it should have been honored. The link with the price was just never posted.

I checked the day the link was originally posted and it did show $199. The price has since been changed.

Look on motonation's site. They have sales but you have to keep checking with them as the stuff on sale seems to change quickly.
I have seen red Vertigo Corsa and blue Vertigo Corsa for $240.00 Not too bad for a pair of boots that is $400.00 most places.

If the person tried to order the boots that day, it should have been honored then. I guess I didn't check the link that day. I have in the past found something I wanted to order over the weekend and when I call them on Monday to order it, the sale is over and price has gone up. I should have just placed the order over the internet when I found them and I would have got the lesser price.
I'm in no way trying to make excuses for the company. I have no vested intereste in them, just relaying some of my past experiences with other companies.

I have those boots. Fantastic. I ordered from new enough, told them about absolute's price and new enough shipped them for free to make up some of the difference. There was another member at the time who pointed me to absolute that had ordered the boots from them. He seemed to indicate that he got the boots quickly for the 245 price, plus shipping. not sure what the 199 issue was above. They were 245 last winter when i bought mine.

Exactly I will never give them 2 cents of my money. I think New enough is #1 and they said they will "work" with me on the vertigo air....guess we will see come monday when the manager returns to work. Absoute cycle-absoultly sucks! (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/warranty.gif)

I ordered a pair of Vertogo airs about a week and a half ago(my size is on backorder of course (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/tongue.gif) )......wish I would have known about this then......maybe I could have gotten them to "work" with me too (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/goofy.gif)
Oh well......they're great people so I don't mind giving them a little extra anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif)

Newenough has offered free shipping on Sidi boots (except for closeouts) for a long time. It isn't anything special.

Please keep us posted on what New Enough does for you. I have spent a lot of money with them over the past few years and have never been disappointed in their service or products. New Enough was actually the first place I looked at the boots, but saw the price of $275. When I saw Absolute with a price of $245, I figured that was a pretty good savings. Of course they tack on $15 for shipping and I didn't realize New Enough has free shipping on these boots, so the difference really is only $15. Even if they don't do anything for you, I would rather give them the $15 and know I will be happy with the service and return policy if I happen to order the wrong size.
$15 is not enough savings to take my money from Newenough and give it to an uknown group of douchebags.
I spoke with Daniel (cust. service manager) and he said he would sell the boots for $240. I was happy and would much rather give my $$ to NE. (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/smile.gif)

Sorry to hear you got ripped. They honnored my $199. Funny though, I found out about them on an Ebay best offer deal. Best offer was countered at $245 delivered. I noticed he had a separate online store, so I checked it and the site had them for listed for $199. So I snatched it up...but I must abmit, I was thinking there was something wrong with his site, 'cause no one had a price that low. I always know NewEnough has the competitive price (and the superb service) and they were consistantly at $245. Anyhow, he (Roy, I think) honored it, plus shipping and NJ 7% tax for $225 to my door.

I've also received good service from newenough. I can say the same for motorcyclecloseouts.com, and in the interest of fairness, I have not had a problem with absolutecycle either. Since this thread is concerened with the pricing of Sidi Vertigo's - I just received my Vertigo Corsa Airs from absolute for $349 and free shipping. This was easily the best price that I have seen on this boot - so, at least in my case, they performed as represented.
