Five of the best riding trainers
With protection for your feet (but not ankles) riding trainers are for those easy days out and about

Arrived quickly and perfectly as described. Very happy with the service.
Needed new boots for road riding, and was looking at circa. £300 spend, so these boots initially weren't on the radar. However, having tried loads of boots on at SBS Boston I tried these and was stunned how comfortable they were, and with an excellent protection rating (all 2s). A few months in and they are brilliant - very comfortable to ride in, and fine to walk in, and so far waterproof in the little rain I've experienced, as expected. I take UK10 and found size 45 great. Not exactly things of beauty, but highly functional, and feel protective. Price was excellent I thought, and great value being gtex. Fit fine under my riding jeans (straight leg) as well my textiles.
Only worn them a couple of times so far and the leather is starting to become more supple and comfortable now. Can’t comment on how water proof they are but so far so good in the dry weather.
They are not the most comfortable boots, but they do the job without emptying your wallet. Good cheap option.
Quality boots but I listen to people saying to buy a size up. No need my normal shoe size was the correct size. They are now slightly large but ok with thick socks. What is troubling me is the cord/cables/wires that ratchet up the boot to your leg. I have had this catch several times on the side of the bike. And I find that dangerous.
