Anyone have problems with Dririder boots?

[mazz1972]

Yes I have the same problem with that boots.

Its now shredded (fake leather I see), water leaking etc etc....
just disgusting....

I can't even get a refund! Don't buy em!

P.S. Did I mentioned that all of above happened in 2 months?

How come you can't get a refund - no receipt? The place you bought them may have a record, especially if they ordered them in for you and might vouch for the sale.

Actually how did you come to wreck them so badly in just two months?

My dririders were the biggst rip-off footware ever.
Leaked bad, fell apart.
Have Sidi boots now, worth the extra.
Docs or workboots with no steelcaps be just as good for day-to-day riding.

My latest are the full leather jobbies, and my feet seem to be pretty well out of the rain on the SV. I also treat them with Nickwax (?) proofer every couple of months.

Sub $300 jobs. Don't remember.
Frankly I thought $275 for a year's service was quite OK.
$600 units usulally last two years.

Nowdays I like H-D brand Johnny Rebs with a dose of Nickwax best.
Not the most waterproof, but I wear em off the bike too.

i commute daily in the welly weather for the last two years and havnt got wet feet yet, same boots

snow seal is the best for leather
you warm the leather and apply it till it can absorb no more
ask at an out door shop

For what it's worth, I've been in Daytona Non-Stop GTX boots for years, commuting and weekend riding, and they have been very good. No problems at all with wet feet.

If you do end up looking for new boots, I would recommend giving them a look.

I'm with Big Dog on this subject - I've had my Gaernes for about 2 years and about 25,000km....like tha famous Dead Sea Tupperware....shtill good!

I too commute daily in the Welly weather with Nordics and have only recently started getting small wet patches on my feet after about 2 years use (approx. 40,000 km's). Holding together nicely too.

They don't look the best when you have wet boots on the first day of a trip and have to keep wearing em each day. The die comes out of my left boot and I end up with wonderful bluey-black stains on my foot and toenails.....not such a great look!

Do you know why sea birds stand on one leg at a time?
Same reason you don't want wet feet on a ride.
Add poor circulation and a appendage that spends most of its life "indoors" and moulds are not far away.

The glue is separating between the soul and upper.

Heavens' no!!! You may have to take this up with a higher authority.

... I find that my Doc's are awesome anyway....

I have Oxtars and they have been absolutely brilliant, including in torrential downpours. Pleased you've had no probs with wearing docs - I didn't either until caught in another torrential downpour and the rain got driven straight in through the laces!

You may mock if you wish but ask anyone who knows, the feet are one of the hardest places to treat infections or skin ailments, let alone broken bones.

Given a choice of dry feet or wet feet, unless you are a complete idiot, you will chose dry.
So in summary when buying boots unless price is a major factor get the ones that keep your feet dry.
