hi guys i have been searching and reading about boots for last couple of weeks really wherever i go seems like they don have my sixe and will ave to order for me to try anyways i am after a pair which i can use daily for commuting as well as track day and would love to get one of the sole changeable ones what are your thoughts what would you recommend i like black red and white colors as my leather are the same color
Best bet now maybe is to wait till the nec show and get yourself a bargain, what size books are you? You want summer or winter boots I've got Alpinestars and have been great had them for about 7 years now and my gortex ones about 3 years
I use Sidi Gortex B2 for both road and track. Never had wet feet with them. Like said if you can wait for the NEC at the end if November you should be able to pick up a bargain. Edit - Meant to add I got my pair in May 2009 and am just thinking about getting them re-soled now.
Currently still using my Sidi Vertigo's. Now going on 7 years old now and the sole is only just starting to wear away. I've crashed in these boots and they still look good. Great all round boot, replaceable parts, and not too expensive.
how bargain next nec seems like gonna be in Birmingham ans getting there for boots might me costly only for boots i want winter boots
+1 on Gore tex being worth it. Otherwise just buy what you like the look of online and send it back if it isn't right for your feet when it arrives.
I've tried all the top brands over the years. My Sidi fell apart in just over 1 year. Alpinestars gave me wet feet after a year. Tried a pair of Pumas too which also fell apart in less than 1 year. Back to Dainese again now, love them and I wouldn't buy any other boot now. Maybe I've been unlucky or boots just don't like me?
Watch out for the boots that creak.. I had Sidi & Alpinestars smx5 plus boots.. Was told to wd40 them..not tried myself yet..
Shouldn't use WD40 as will ruin the leather and plastic as wrong type of oil, if they squeak use silicone lube like what you get with an Arai helmet
If you don't want to goto Birmingham other options are search the Internet or wait till jan/Feb for the London bike show at the excel centre
decided to buy winter boots now and than summer time buy proper road and track boots as i am looking forward to be on track as much as possible :))) if blade still lives
