I need some boots... your thoughts on something good?

[crash99]

Teknic - reasonable price, totally warm and waterpoof. Just don't look as cool as some of the other $$$$$$ models.

I bought the Puma boots from Motomail $499, and I have to tell u its very comfy and also looks different, specially because I chose the white one.

White boots? Don't come to the Hutt - you'll be pregnant before the sidestand touches the ground.

I got a pair of these recently
http://www.cycletreads.co.nz/content...l&entryPK=2352

I chose these over other boots, because they were more comfortable.
They also happened to be the cheapest boots in the store.

I've only had them a short while, yet there are 3 issues already cropping up.
1. The left boot is starting to degrade on top where the gear lever touches. It does seem to have a extra layer there so this might not be a major issue, but it makes me wonder how long they'll last.
2. The right boot is forming a split on top where my toes bend
3. The lining inside the right boot has become detatched and loose, which makes it feel like I'll destroy it every time I take my boot off.

They're still comfy, but I really wish I'd spent the extra money now, or shopped around more.

I've got a pair of the Alpinestars SMX Plus racing boot and they're fantastic, comfortable but not so good in really wet conditions. Great for summer with good ventilation.
If interested pm me and I can flick you a link on where to get them for good price
All depends on what riding you mostly do.
Woolly socks do help a lot in the cold

Whats the www addy for that one bro? I'm in the market, the Diadora ones at Motomail fit wicked tho and all leather so rewaterproofed in a jiffy if need be.

Quasi's boots are awesome ... unlike Niksta, I don't have kid-sized feet so I have been able to get a pair. They're not properly waterproof, though mine haven't leaked at all even with the wonderful Auckland weather recently. Very comfortable (far more so than my SIDIs) and I'd hazard a guess the construction was actually better. They've even got proper calf adjustment, which the SIDIs only pretended to have.

Looks like I'll be getting my next pair from Q

Dunno if the calf adjustment's got that much play in it, dude...

I can recommend Stylmartin Stylsafe's - I rode for three days with some of the worst rain / sleet I've ever experienced and they stayed waterproof, good protection on the heals too.

I love my Sidi boots, have had them for about 3 years now and have never had wet or cold feet. They are a size too big which means they fit a sheepskin inner sole - toasty!

I am happy to swear by my Sidi boots after my crash on Monday!! My foot is black and blue from sliding along the road, but my boots only have a minor scratch on the ankle right over the armour. I surely would have had a serious break in regular boots.

Waterproof - I treated with nikwax and they've been great. Warm as toast.
