Boots

[Trada]

Ok guys what's best most comfortable boots you have for biking?
I have some oxtars that used on road bikes but don't look right on a varadero. So I'm sticking to my army dms boots for now.
I like the look of the moto x style but all the ones I've tried are that solid they are uncomfortable.

I've had about 4/5 pairs of motocross boots over the years and they were all solid to start with, although they did mega miles in the end, just being resoled every so often. It used to take me months before they softened up.

Best thing you can do is buy second hand and let someone else do the work for you.

 Gotta be Alt-Berg --made in Richmond .N Yorkshire , they're the best boots
I've ever spent money on , that being said it's like anything else , a ?200 bit of
kit is worth only 20p if it don't fit properly , so you've got to try before you buy ,
and as a White Rose man I don't scatter the readies unless I get VFM [ had the first pair 12 years and only replaced them cos I started with Ernie Wise syndrome --short fat hairy legs !] the 2nd pair of Alt-Bergs are waterproof /made to fit and only cost
a couple of hundred beer vouchers !!! check their web site for styles and latest prices.

I know of the alt bergs but never tried them. I think my army boots are much than theirs, really comfortable and waterproof, gortex lined, and a lot cheaper lol.
I also know Richmond very well, I grew up just up the road in Castle Bolton, Wensleydale. I knew the area that well I could ride there on my Yamaha DT175E without even going on the road ( much) at 15 year old.
But now I'm looking for a motor cross style boot but one with feel and comfort for walking as well when I get off the bike. Pre worn does sound good though.

I bought Hein Gericke Rallye boots in April 2006 and I am still wearing them. They are Goretex and have never let in a drop of water and are also very comfortable. Last year when HG was closing in Belfast I bought a pair of Rallye IIIs  with 20% off which is more or less the same boot and have not even taken the labels off yet. The soles on my old boots will be the determining factor on when to introduce the new ones. Not for a while yet though. There's plenty more big trips in the old boots yet.

I have these ... cost a bit but super comfortable and also you can walk about in them comfortably to when you jump off bike ...
they really good  for armor and comfort combined ... suede outer lining that's taken everything i ve thrown at it so far
I personally highly recommend them but look about for best price ... i got mine form J n S  in Plymouth .

Like the look of those Rebuilt, they don't look over solid like proper motox boots.

Love my Altbergs 

extremely well made, very very comfy, watertight in even the worst conditions, easy to care for, and among the toughest boots should the worst happen and you come off.

Price wise they are still competitive with other high end boots, but I reckon you get far more value for your buck with the Altbergs

I wear Gaerne Balance trials boots. Very comfortable warm and waterproof if you keep them clean and apply fresh Nikwax. http://www.trialsuk.co.uk/categories/gaerne-trials-boots

Bought the new Sidi Adventure line. Excellent, after owning Daytona's and TCX. Fully waterproof and comfy under all circumstances. You don't wanna do a marathon on them though But they are designed for motorcycling, not for walking

It's always going to be a compromise when choosing what boots to buy/wear which is why I chose a Trials boot. Good, but not great protection but still able to walk without looking like I've got a carrot up my ar*e
