MotorBike001 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 What with the weather as it is now (and for the future too) , I want to get some Summer Boots. I don't like the old-school look, or the track-day look - just something that looks a bit normal when walking about, and decent ventilation. I quite like the look of these (the highest rated on SportsBikeShop) but they haven't got my size in stock (42) -Richa Slick Waterproof Boots - Black Has anyone got any recommendations. Googling and looking on Youtube has totally put me in a spin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinlim Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) I've a pair of Merlin boots, they have outlast in them which helps keep you cooler in summer and warm in winter. I've had them for about 2 years and they have done a great job in all weather. Edited July 20, 2022 by daveinlim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHorton Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Richa products are generally very good my general commuting boots are 3 years old and no issues but I do look after them that's the key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Metcalfe Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Have you thought about the military combat boots style. Me and wife each have a pair high leg combat boots. They have a fully sealed tongue and are waterproof to a reasonable extent, obviously not to the point of a deluge but for summer riding, especially over here they are perfect. They are also very comfortable for walking around in when not on the bike. We got ours from a military surplus website in the uk about 3yrs ago and they cost about £25 a pair. Prior to these I'd always worn the Magnum combat boot in the summer which are super comfy straight from the box given I'd always worn these when in the RAF I knew what I was getting, but at around £150 a pair and getting them was becoming a problem, we opted for the surplus route.
