My boots are getting given the, er, boot....

[peteO]

I have a pair of sidi evo rain. 3 years or riding daily seems to have taken their tole. The zip has broken on one and the sole has started to come away at the toe on both.

Recently sold my ninja due to moving house and currently only using a stty 125 that tops out at 55mph.

On the way to work today water started pissing in both boots. So need to buy a new pair and just after recommendations...

Dont need to be super duper expensive with armour all over the place seems tho can only go 55mph. Prob looking to spend up to £70. Would need to be 100% waterproof as I ride every day whatever the weather...

cheers in advance lads

ah right. so that the only thing that will be 100% waterproof then? i didnt know that. will have a look.

my sidi's are my 1st pair and bought them because my mate recommended them.

these be any good? cant find any reviews. ive heard the name weise knocking about though

[peteO]

what 'trainers' do they wear in scotland?! i buy converse, £40!..

anyway, back on topic... you're a tight arse, i thought you'd have a bargain to suggest

[peteO]

cheers... yeah the 55mph part was meaning i dont necessarily need all the bells and whistles that a race boot has

[peteO]

will do mate. the budget is flexible. just didnt know what you can get for that sort of money. if nothing, i'll up it.

same as you just want something cheap and cheerful that does the job on the commute

(for my commute i wear textiles that go over the boots, so short may be suitable. never wore any tho)

My RST Adventures seem as good as my old HG Rallyes, but at £99 come in over your budget a bit.

You can get the soles and zips repaired.

It costs about £60 when I last checked.

yeah buy they are giving off a massive whiff anyway so im sure it'll please the mrs to get a new pair

I'm not against 2nd hand stuff. But I wear my boots everyday so not really that arsed about shelling out for a brand new pair
