Verified Customer Reviews for Oxford Code 1.0 Mid Dry2Dry Boots
Not bad overall, but weak waterproofing
29 Sep 2026 by Euan
I find these boots to be comfy and suitable for regular commuting and walking around town, and the addition of a toe slider is very welcome for taking the bike out on the twisties and getting a lean on. They're the best looking Oxford boots I've seen and go well with the rest of my fluo yellow gear.
However, I've found the waterproofing to be sub-optimal; with it letting water through in even a minor shower or water being kicked up from cars in front after heavy rain has come and gone. There also seems to be fairly quick wear and tear on the front of the boot, though these have seen very heavy use.

Comfy Boots

A little stiff getting on and off presently but super comfy and true to size straight from the box.
high protection level for a good price.
A few walks with the Dog should have them nice and supple. Quality kit.

Very comfortable

Waterproof, comfortable, great for long trips, hardly notice. A bit stiff to remove at first, probably a good thing.

Description
Designed for waterproofing, wearability and high spec protection, the low-profile opening on the Code 1.0 Mid allows them to be worn comfortably under many styles of motorcycle trousers and jeans - great for touring and commuting alike.
The Code Mid 1.0 is CE certified to level 2/2/2/2, the highest boot rating achievable. Considerable attention has been paid to the boot's protective features to achieve this, including PU reinforcements at the toe, heel counter, footbed and ankle protection. The microfibre upper also boasts impressive resistance to abrasion and impact cutting. The Code 1.0 Mid utilises Oxford's performance sports boot sole and external TPU heel protection system, offering impressive control and peace of mind when you need it most.
Comfort features such as accordion stretch at the front and rear improve the boot's flexibility, reducing fatigue without affecting protective performance. A 3D mesh lining enhances breathability, working hand in hand with the Dry2Dry breathable membrane to wick sweat away for all day comfort.
