Just how can someone get so excited about a pair of bike boots? Very easily actually when they are purpose built for my short arse legs. I am bursting to try them out and cant wait for Saturday, B/DAY!
Can not recommend Peter Croad at Shoe Sheriff highly enough. Totally professional and what a fantastic job too!

How high is that gonna lift you up? Or...to put it a less dumb way...how much higher are the boots? ;)
Bloody good jobs that. What's the tread like? Good non-slip for the road and bike pegs?
Gotta show wifey so it gives her another option. Her white Doc's are meant to be rubbish on the bike (and a bit too goth I think).

These are bog standard R-Jays womans motorbike boots, came off the shelf and straight to the cobblers. I will take some pics of the soles for you and post them later. The insert he put in is 12mm apparently, tell you what I feel like I am 10' tall wearing them :lol:
I am picking my bike up tomorrow, I will report back after my first ride to let you know how they feel riding :D

Anne was walking around in them last night and could clearly see the top shelf in the fridge...:woohoo:
That extra 12mm helps...I knew it!

12 mm DOES make a huge difference on the bike ... for the altitude impaired ... :yes:

This statement is also one of happiness in my household, but it is the result of a little 'operation' I had......ooohhhhh

We had to get a little bar fridge just so the wife could feel like us normal people :) See what I did there? That's man thinking that is.

Huh? I buy boots off the shelf and stick them on my feet... was the cobbler fellow desperate for boots and couldn't afford any?
I wonder how they will be riding? No doubt that will take a bit of getting used to. I will get the guys at colemans to adjust the lever on the spline if needed. I can fine tune it myself. I said to Maha, I might just go up SH16 and accross Woodcocks home. I may even keep going to Mangawhai, Waipu even. Who knows I may even get to go down Paparoa/Oakleigh...
Anyone been on Twin Bridges since the bad summer weather? That is sounding mighty fine for Sunday :pinch:
I will be too sore to go to work Monday, so I will have to go for a ride :sunny:

You wouldn't let me wear them to bed though :shutup:

Have a look at this. Mind you he did say that he could have raised my current boots too, an option I had investigated and had been told was impossible :pinch: The DOCs will be a piece of piss for him, I still have my DOCS :shit:

Looks good. Her Docs are already HUGE. They just about have a 1 inch heel. Too high she told me.
SHORTENED ... right ... :innocent:
Length is only one factor, girth is wht it is all about :yes: Thankfully I have new "fat" pants, so am very comfy :innocent:

I have friends that ride in heels, they can already touch the ground on their bikes. Heels wont cut it for a short arse like me. Stand by for an update to sole raised riding.
