Gumboots

It was raining quiet hard this morning and I noticed a dude riding his "something" Triumph in gumboots...

Dumb, comes to mind.

[White trash]

Piss off and get your own, those are mine.

I was wondering why you were strugling with that southerly gale...

Were they white, with steel toecaps? Very fetching.

I used to wear gumboots all the time on my bike when I was a deckhand. Bata steel capped white boots with the orange soles. Had one nasty accident wearing them, the steel cap was ripped out of the left boot, but my foot was sweet. Dumb my arse, if they fit and a quality boot, then they are a good substitute for a riding boot. However now I've got Stylmartins, stuff the gumboots...

Well, many years ago, when I wasn't mental, but was considerably poorer, I used to wear gummies on me bike, when I wasn't wearing sandshoes, jandals or workboots.

But that was before I was a Lert, and before I could afford to buy StyleyYetWaterproofBikeBoots, like the StylMartians I now own. Mind you, I don't think you could buy them, seventybazillion years ago.

Pity - it wasn't fun wrecking my bike wearing jandals.

Always heard that gumboots are unwise as they tend to grip the road if you spill and cause you to flip if you started off feet first or just get ripped off your feet if you go head first. Was told to wear leather that "grips enough to slow you gently"

Dunno, personally, never arsed off wearing gumboots or quality leathers - usually wearing shoes or work boots.

There are some really fetching gumboots in the shoe shops at the moment - lovely floral prints all over them - was thinking of getting a pair to wear on my bike to complete the whole look!!!

And, just for you... I'm going to repeat myself. No.

We used to wear fireman's gumboots at trials - they have a steel toecap and steel shank in the sole...kept your feet dry,until you stepped into a really big hole.I often wore red band shorties on bikes in the rain,no worries.

Yellow souls?! Sounds like they need an asianoplasty to reflect the way they feel on the inside!

Used to wear the lace up sort. With the steel shank. Only thing really with ordinary gummies is that they might get tiddlywinked off in a bingle. The lace up ones are as good as leather boots for that.

Problem with gummies on a bike is that your feet get f****ing cold.
