Richa Zenith Boots, £60

Wanted a reasonable pair of plain black touring/commuting boots without paying silly money. These had good reviews on Amazon and the like.

Soft and supple after an initial application of dubbin, great fit and comfortable from the off.

Recommended.

Splendid.

Build it. They will come.

[jono49]

With a lot of the reviews recommending buying a size bigger, I just wondered did you do the same?

[tediumwannabe]

Hi jono, sods' law, i'm "between" sizes, a uk 10.5 usually, with a slighter wide fitting, I went for the size 11, euro 45 and they are a good fit with med weight socks on, plus they will give a little once worn in no doubt. I'm a little anal when buying stuff and take ages on trying to get it right. I find a lot of boots follow the Italian design and are very narrow but these fit me well.

I use altbergh boots a bit pricey but I have had a pair now for about ten years and you can have then resoled

[TKH]

i thought theyd stopped re-soling them?

[jono49]

No they do but with a small charge

[Rallyist]

They stopped the reconditioning service cos people were taking the p#~s sending knackered boots in and expecting a full recondition for £99 Gotta send mine in for new soles getting a bit thin now can feel stones through them.

I have got some Sidi Courier boots. Mine were second hand [ bought by someone, too small for them and then sat in a cupboard for two years ] got them for £79! They are really comfy and tank like! You can happily walk around town in them and not worry about it.

 

look like this - expensive new!

I'm very happy with my Daytona Evo Voltex GTX boots. Handmade in Germany in high quality cowhide, two leather covered plastic sliders, titanium toe slider, carbon heel cup, inner sole with hot-dip galvanised steel inlay. Separate inner boot with a composite hard shell with hinged joint, shock absorbing latex-padding for the calf/ankle/chinbone/heel areas, Gore-Tex duratherm membrane. Looks stunning, waterproof, very comfortable and one of the safest boots on the market. Yours for only £630.

Wow! Makes my Alpinestars feel quite cheap!

[and30ers]

Lucky for me I paid much less through eBay Germany.

A) Smart thinking and30ers

 

B) I'm going to freshen up my German as Ebay Germany seems to be the place to go!

£630 ??? 'Don't care what anybody says, there is absolutely NO way you can justify that kind of price for a pair of boots.

More money than sense as me old uns' would say.

I only paid £ 300, still a lot of money. But if I can avoid crushing a foot if I'm in an accident it's well worth it. Cheap touring boots don't protect the ankle from crush or twist force. Race boots do, but I don't fancy the all plastic styling with external hinges and buckles. Daytona make top notch leather race boots with a muted look. Inner boot design:
