Hi all. I've just been through an operation to fuse the base joint of my right big toe and am horrified that I can't get my bike boots on. Because boots are made to be waterproof they have gussets in them and the foot slides in, bending as it goes. My foot no longer bends and I can't get my Alpinestars Durban adventure boots on. Oh hell! I need to find some boots that I can jam on that have maybe a zip at the back without a gusset and preferably a really stiff sole. Anyone out there been through the same problems? I'd really appreciate some advice.... Thanks. Matt - in Dorset
