Joeman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 dont think they are waterproof... if you ride in the rain you'll get wet feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 dont think they are waterproof... if you ride in the rain you'll get wet feet! Not if you wear plastic 'sandwich' bags over your socks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 The plan is to pass my mod 2 in a couple of weeks and get a 600cc and hopefully never ride in ice/rain or wind again lol. Ive only rode through winter to get the extra experince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've just bought the exact boots from the same seller on Saturday, should receive them tomorrow!I'll let you know once my bike is fixed and taken them for a spin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 'track' boots will feel different to walk in than touring boots, but you soon get used to it.( assuming you don't need something you can leave on all day once you get to where you're going)I wear sidi's and love them.im sure the tracktechs will make you faster too, so well worth the discomfort ( oh , and go for red, reds the fastest colour ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been out in them yet but think there going to take some getting used to. I don't find them to rigid and can walk ok in them. As you can tell by the color i'm going for the black and white look.
