When they finally die I will be looking at Alpinestars for replacemnets, but they are expensive, the top of the line stymartin might be a go. Oxtars are another great make, but I haven't seen them here.

Try www.motostrano.com for wicked deals on lots of bike gear, I saved heaps buying stuff from them and it was dead easy

see http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ht=alpinestars for details

thanks thats helpful

I would recommend a pair of Gaerne boots - made in Italy - I find them very comfortable and I've abused them a lot - they're still good. $280 from Cycletreads - shin, ankle, heel and toe protection - toe sliders too - solid boot and waterproof too.

I've seen too many people spend a mint on Sidi boots only to see them disintigrate 6 months later.

Ask Maverick or TerminalAddict - they have the same boots as me.

Used to see a lot of poser cyclists go for Sidi too - great for one race - shot after that. Sidi is all about fitness for purpose - as long as you don't intend walking in them they're fine.

Who says I was hitting on her? and I've got enough experience of being an unwanted admirerer, that's what being a dick is all about.

I will echo the sentiment on the Stylsafe boots..have had mine for about 5 months and ridden in all sorts of weather..yes some Harleys go out in the rain!!!!

They are great, warm, waterproof and feel secure with the xtra carbon fibre boot in them. i got mine from Lou at AMPS via here (send him a PM) and he did me a great deal.....thanks again Lou
