Boots tried n tested - I can honestly say that these `mens/womens touring boots`are comfortable, do the job stated with ALL the main safety points covered. At a minimal cost for them - im totally rapped with them. Will have to wait n see when my husband tries his pair out

Been thinking about getting some but really don't like the look of them

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

They comfortable to walk around in?

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.

YellowDog > youre welcome

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.

Because i am trying to do away with the need for work shoes

Rather than having to change when i get to work i would rather kill 2 birds with one stone

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)

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

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.
