Summer Boots

[MotorBike001]

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..

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.

Which ones have you got?

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

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.

I have a pair of Forma FORC50 's on my wish list. Can't vouch for them as yet, but they look all day comfortable.

I have the forma adventure boot and can say it's well made and super comfy

Considerable saving looking on Amazon but a really nice looking boot I might well speak to Sportsbikeshop and test out their price match promise.
