First impressions
These boots just looked lovely!
Overview of performance
Of all the boots I tested, these were the most comfortable to ride in. The fit was great — perfect around the foot, ankle and calf. I would say they were slightly generous on the height, but they will drop slightly with more time. They were both warm and waterproof, so ideal for all types of winter riding. They also had spur rests, which was handy.
Sam’s likes and dislikes
The boots are cushioned on the inside, which was a nice touch for added comfort. They are great value if you can afford them — they are expensive, but performed really well.
