Well, it would appear I am ready. Bar the bike and the boots. I have all the other items to go with my beastie, yet, I have no boots, and whilst not wanting to spend a mortgage fortune, I want comfortability and safety. At a shop in Foxton on Saturday, yes, I live in Napier and went shopping for riding gear in Foxton, None of the boots would allow the heel of my foot over the ankle support piece. I certainly don't have big feet. What gives?

Oh, what should I be looking for?

On another note, I went to 4 different cycle stores this morning, each one saying wow, I've never heard of someone having that problem before. Went to the 5th one who said ahhhhh...try this boot, viola, it went on perfect. He said try this boot, viola, went on perfect. Moral of the story, there is none, I just felt like talking, and I have boots now and just purchased a bike for 4 months.
