What boots?

[flashg]

Ive been using normal knee pads but this looks like a good option.

All good as long as you realize those are only knee guards, although better protection than knee pads, they won't offer the levels of protection from twisting forces and/or hyperextension that a proper knee brace will. Check torpedo 7, there are other proper knee braces a lot cheaper than Mobius.
Now about those boots, Those Sold out "Forma" boots on torpedo 7 with the hinged ankle's looked the Biz, good price too.

Find these on torpedo 7 guys, full protection at a great price

Sadly they are only XL or I would have grabbed some. Remembered I am using hinged knee pads at the moment.

So will keep an eye out for the right size and price to come up.

They are good tough(heavy) boots and wear well but they leak like a sieve, my feet get soaked walking on damp grass. The pivot bolts need loctite to.
Personally I like a stitched sole over the alpine stars type sole( my tech 3 soles fell apart within 6 months).

Now that's interesting, the only time my feet get wet in my Sidi's, is when playing in rivers and creeks mostly.

Thanks for the tip about the loctite I'll do mine Havent had a problem with the wet tho.
Stitched sole yes agree, my last boots where molded sole and I whore them out where the kick start is and the brake. The stitched sole has a sharp edge rather than rounded so your either on or off. not scraping down the side.
Pretty shore I use the tip of the lip 10% of the time to change up to

Quite happy to lend you a pair off the knee guards if you wanna see how they go ( I have two sets).
I usually do the top up over my padded riding under shorts and the bottom over my socks so there is a barrier between them and my skin. I know you can buy lycra under layer shit for this but what I do works for me, so you might need something under?.

Tech 7s have a replaceable sole or you can just replace the instep.

I may just get a buckle if I can for my Flys then give them to the cobbler to re-sole.

Thanks Mate. I have pivoting knee guards so will look into braces. Will ask Richard at MotoOne for what he can get.

Because of the huge expense ACC went to replacing my knee, and I also enjoy walking. I decided to buy what I think are the best for "Me" knee braces "Mobius" Still quite bulky though and will take some getting used to. These came with extra padding so you can personalize the fit for each knee.
Apology's for the thread highjack NZSpokes but these do fit into the top of the "boots" hope this helps.

Well done that man. They are very good braces from what I've been told.
I found putting braces on not the fastest thing to do, but I'm determined to wear them every time I ride, no matter how short the ride.

They just popped up in my size for $300 the pair. To good to pass up. Guy wore them 5 times then gave up riding. No damage at all on them so very happy.

And far more comfortable than any knee pads I have worn.

Next will be boots when the $$$$ build up.

That's fantastic news that they fit and are comfortable. I thought you were considering having your boots repaired ? Or are they truly past it ?

Not worn out by any means, broken buckle which I have ordered a replacement and they are getting quite cut up where the pegs sit on the sole.

But I need to really try to stand on the balls of my feet instead of the instep so will have a new area of the sole to wear out.

They will go for a good few rides yet. I dont want to cheap out on the next pair so will save and get decent ones.

Put it this way, I dont feel unsafe in them at all.
