I have 1tone jacket, pants and gloves so i should really carry on the trend just dunno if i can do it :crazy:

[YellowDog]

Thanks for the good info.

Did you try them on before you bought them?

I'm a bit funny about boots, they really do need to fit well.

There's more to it than just size.

Hi again , more info requested by kber > slofox ...happy to give out..they wont get stuck via gear pedals.

Ok...well my husband just tried his pair out... exact words `f*** these are awesome and f***** comfyaz. Slightly hard to get into- but, hey peace-a-piss once youve warn them in- i aint complaining.

>Length of Boots > hubbys sz 9snz (euro-44 or UK-10s)- 290mm length -just right!
>Length of Boots > mine sz 8snz (euro-39 or UK-5s)- 270mm length- perfect!
AND - can HONESTLY tell you all - They are definitely comfortable - ex tread on soles-hubby is impressed.

Why the bloody hell you walking in MC boots? Your bike break down a lot? :)

I walked around Hampton in my boots. It wasn't bad to start with but bloody killing me by the end. Blisters from Africa (not that I know why they would be from Africa). But they ain't made for walking so I sucked it up.

But they ain't made for walking so I sucked it up.Because i am trying to do away with the need for work shoes :bleh: Rather than having to change when i get to work i would rather kill 2 birds with one stone :shifty:

Bought a pair of these myself about a week ago. They're pretty comfy (were quite a tight fit to begin with but are loosening with use). Looking forward to testing their waterproofness, which is the main reason for upgrading from my old steelcaps.

if its too hot for a leather jacket a cordura wont help...except for the vents,leather breates a bit cordura doesnt unless you get the breatable type but even then cordura feels more "clammy" than leather.I am gonna get my leather jacket altered to have a thin liner but add a thermal liner for winter.I already have a two position zip(jacket made Leda Leathers)

[Ypawa]

:2thumbsup goodstuff felix52 - to each his own ay. So many brands,styles blah blah around-slightly tight -totally agree - all new shoes/boots have to be worn in and everyone will have their own preference of choice. Im also getting another pair - SIRENS from a seller in trademe. Bit more costly @$249 but 2 pairs will be what I need and I like the looks of them ;)

[ynot slow]

They seem similar to my ones I grabbed from lifestyle-imports(had a van at last meeting at Manfeild)were $150 when I bought them,mine comfy as(used to wear them for 3 hours on Sat morning at work)waterproof and warm.Would've grabbed 1 Tonne but website not up at the time,and boots not available.

[Ypawa]

thanx muchly for the info BMWST? Im not familiar with Cordura...so any advice is gladly appreciated :yes:

[Ypawa]

Yes indeed they ARE similar, I was gonna get the very same pair you have from Lifestyle also -just that they had only mens sizes- nufn there for me :(, but was holding off till Itonne re-stocked with my sz.

its basically heavy duty plastic fabric....

[sunday social riders]

Wait till it rains hard then see if boots are waterproof?Have tried pairs from $130 - $570 but rain eventually wins over boots that are now commonly made in China.Ended up buying a pair of $40 spool over boots(similar to rain off overgloves).Never had a problem since in heavy rain.No matter how expensive boots are,or quality of leather,it can only soak up so much before letting water through.

Check out www.1tonne.co.nz
The width of the boots are a standard fit. So if you fit most boots, you should fit ours.
They can be a little stiff to get on when new but they do wear in. Cheers.

Like i said 1tonne pics are ok but i want to see what they look like in a real pic .

[1tonne]

Flick me an email and I can send you some close up photos. The picture in the add is of the actual boot.

i have a pair of 1tonne boots and i have real wide feet. cant wear jandals because my paddles hang over the edges wide. there are only a few sorts of running shoes i can use because my feet are so wide. i find the 1tonne boots pretty good, they did take a few wears before they were stretched out properly and i still get a slight ache if i have them on for too long but i've found them good value overall.

Hi. Yes we have found that people with very wide feet can have a problem but as you have noticed they do stretch. Cheers.

Howzit > gunrunner... sorry with the lately pics... these are my hubbys pair, he`s selling them on Trademe @the mo`. As for `how wide` - his are sz 9s -and were a good fit. Youre best bet is to take the advice of the kber > atothek who has the same prob as you. My hubbys only selling these cos our kids gave him a pair of HD boots for xmas other than that he was sweet with these, Im still using mine.

[gunrunner]

Got a pair of 1tonne boots same as above , wore them for 1st time yesterday as needed a rego and wof . Got caught in thunderstorm bigtime , thank goodness for wet weather gear as i got really drenched . 1tonne claim these boots were waterproof and Yes they are . As for my wide feet , the boots are hard to get into but they feel great . I needed these by this weeekend i paid for them last wednesday they arrived last friday is that good service or what . Going to Taupo on the bike in the weekend and chances are im gonna get wet so will let you know how the boots hold up .

[gunrunner]

Update on the boots , rode home today Taupo- Napier- Wairarapa and it pissed down all the way .
I arrived home with dry feet .

Postive customer comment re 1tonne boots. Recently replaced by 4 year old pair which had done their job in an off but sadly where no longer waterproof.

Got a different style pair, prompt delivery but regrettably they had a manufacturing defect and a front panel on one boot parted company within a week.

Solution: Rang 1tionne and no fuss or bother replacement pair on the way the same day.

Great customer service people.

Bugger, just noticed one of mine has a tiny crack in the leather where the bend from foot to toe runs (?).

I've had them for a couple of years now and probably haven't looked after them all that well.

Even so they were waterproof in the rain last Saturday.
