    Duuuhhh...

    Who'd be stupid enough to ride the bike to work, forgetting that there were no shoes to wear at the workplace and end up in bike boots for the day?

    Your boots not comfortable enough to walk around in? Mine are good enough to walk around in all day.

    I used to do that when I was working for a fellow KB'er a few years back, got "told off" as it didn't look good, and said I wouldn't do it again, next day... same thing. lol

    Your socks would probably be more comfortable than shoes anyway!

    Oh the boots are plenty comfortable to wear. They look a little strange in a wine shop though. With shorts on...

    I have cycled into work forgetting to take ANY other clothes that the gear I was wearing. Apparerntly a bright yellow tee shirt, shorts and cycle shoes are not considered suitable office wear!

    Driven to work in my slippers more than once. Only really noticeable when I have to leave the safety of my counter though. Mind you, the Paddington bear motif always gets a giggle.

    Just be thankful you weren't wearing the full-hog cycling bib shorts. But I'm with sil3nt, that's funny shit.

    I don't know which would be funnier, you wearing your boots with your shorts, or you in shorts

    There's no way I could wear my boots all day without riding. They suck for walking in. I've often thought about getting a pair of those motorbike shoes for short trips or when I reckon I'll be walking a lot. Maybe when I start riding my bike more

    I can just get my jeans over the Axo boots I wear so dunt look too bad.
    Mind you, toe sliders on office shoes aren't that necessary......

    Socks are much betterer - unless you have to go out of the office - then blue boots & toe sliders seem to go unnoticed....
