is there any sort of warranty to protect us from shit like this?

unless by falling to bits you mean worn out

I have had mine for around 8mths now. general riding not as often as i would have liked. i believe boots should last longer!

i had my first pair from red barron, one of the buckles snapped out near the stitching. I took it back and they replaced my boots with new ones. (very happy) the boots that they replaced them with also trackers are the ones i now have. They have split where the movement is near the ankle, stitching has popped in some area's, they are really saggy with hardly any ankle support. they look more worn then my mates 4 year old gaernes.

I have looked at new boots today. Cycle treads have the SG10's for $599 which is the cheapest that i have seen yet. Mt eden motorsycles have the same boot for $699. but they have the alpinestar tech 3 for about $300. and they are usually pretty good if you ask if they can give you a discount. i think for the money these would be the best boots i have seen.

Have you tried looking in Cash Converters? I picked up a pair of bike boots for $100. Still in the box with labels on. Awesome score it was.

hmm I have a spare pair of size 9 boots... they are a tight 9 though, more like a 8 1/2

i got the 07 elements and for the price there sweet. havent tried other boots to compare with so they could be shit but i dont have a problem with them.

hey Tom,
if they fit and they don't fall apart then they are all good. But once you try on a real good pair of boots its hard to go back

. for example metal sole plates = comfort in my books.

have you got your bike fixed up? how about a ride on saturday?

Selling them cause I don't need them - going back to a "pure" road bike when the BMW is sold. As for what they are like, well I find them superbly comfortable now but it took a while for them to soften up. Couldn't tell how good they would be off road as I tended to stay on the gravel roads but they are fitted with steel caps and tips, so could kick just about anything out of the way. Pretty water tight too.
