Daytona Roadstar boots - lever pad stitching
Discussion
Has anyone had the edge of the rubber pad break away in the way that mine are? The gear lever on my bike is in good order, rubber sleeve is in place and no damage to any metalwork.
These boots are exactly 1 year old and lightly used. This seems like unreasonable wear to me, especially so since the cost was significant at £350. Daytona have rejected this as wear and tear.

Yes, but my boots are well used.
That area appears to be where they crease if I squat down as well as where the lever goes so they have gone there for the second time. They went back for new soles etc. to Daytona as a paid service once already.
Yours do look unsatisfactory as the rest of the picture makes them look nearly new

It's hacked me right off given the money. TCX however seem to have mitigated this by taking the pad around the radius of the edge of the foot. And these are £150 less.That area appears to be where they crease if I squat down as well as where the lever goes so they have gone there for the second time.

Yes but mine took many years of daily use for that to happen so again like others have posted they are well used. The only reason I've purchased 4 pairs of the same Daytona Roadstar GTX boots over 18 years of daily London commuting is that they last multiple years and are proper waterproof and fit my non stick legs These boots are exactly 1 year old and lightly used.

When I stop using a pair they are properly done to a point where sending them off to Daytona would be like trying to say the boot that comes back would be like triggers broom. i.e. its cheaper to buy a new pair than get almost everything replaced/repaired.
