DXR Hinckley Waterproof Leather Boots - Brown

Fantastic boot that fits true to size. I bought these as I wanted a boot with good protection and a toe cap for shifting. These fit the bill perfectly! They do take a few days to break in as you would expect from a leather boot. But great comfort and grip on the sole. Worn once in rain and they are not waterproof. Rain simply comes through at the side zip. So don’t buy if you’re after a waterproof boot. Otherwise top boot for summer.

I like these boots and wear them 2-3 days a week. The Zip/Velcro fastening on the side is probably unnecessary as you always have to loosen the laces even with them undone. I may have fat feet :-)

Well they look great but my god they are uncomfortable. In order to wear them I had to remove the hard plastic discs that protect the ankle. I used a scalpel and cut the inner lining and levered them out. I don't know who thought they were a clever idea, they're not! When I say rigid plastic I mean a round, thick hard disc. They will never bed in. Anyway now they are fine other than they squeak when you walk. So if you a deft with a scalpel go ahead and hit buy. Don't say I didn't warn you.

OK full disclosure, I haven't yet tested the waterproof qualities of these boots and it may be a while as I tend not to set off in rain these days, though I'm sure eventually I'll get caught out!

Fit - Comfort is not an out of the box feature. As stated by others these are a rigid boot which require breaking in - especially if your feet, like mine, are not uniform. I planned to wear them in gradually to avoid the chance of blisters. (If they do not "give" as I expect them to, then I'll come back and revise the review.)

Construction is great with all the stitching etc. to a high quality. I like the side zip which should make for an easier time putting on & off. Also like the gear pad on both sides. The laces are a tad on the light side for my taste, but that's easily resolved, particularly as for my broad feet, they come up a bit short; so I will likely get some darker brown longer laces instead. The soles are standard Vibram-type so should grip and last well. Time will tell, if any issues, then I'll report back.

Very comfortable boot easy to put on and off but the boots aren't waterproof this is my third pair in the last 8 years but this pair aren't waterproof the last two pairs were excellent

I just liked the looks of the boot .I ride sports bikes not choppers. Bought to go to the pub people have commented how nice they look . The ankle protection is taking some getting used to. The leather is quite stiff but now two weeks on everything is fine would recommend and buy again.

A good proper solid set of boots for biking. Will need breaking in but I think they will last well.

It's a good fit. Looks good. Protective. I'm still breaking it in, but so far so good. A bit hard on the inside.

Having always worn calf length boots, I found these ankle height boots to be a revelation. No more sweating on hot days, no more trying to cram jeans inside, and no more trudging around cafes in heavy gear.
The boots have good side zips, and the laces are good and sturdy. The zip pulls are held neatly in velcro straps. The sizes are accurate, the boots are very comfortable on and off the bike, and a great price too.

Excellent value boots, very well made. I wanted boots with a good grip for when I put feet down. The side zip helps greatly in getting them on and off. Very pleased with them

Great boots that are nice and subtle. Took a little wearing in but fine after a day.
Service was excellent as always.

wife purchased these and is very pleased with the comfort , easy to put on with the zip and good to walk around in not sure if they are sports bike shops own make ? haven't had to test how waterproof they are yet but pleased with them

Really stylish and are well made giving lots of confidence that they will protect you pinkies and ankles should they be tested (not planning to any time soon!!) Have taken a bit of breaking in - which I guess is a good sign too, but not quite as comfortable as I had hoped - but still not bad. Foam disc in lining over ankle bone on the outside is good if a little obtrusive, but the one on the inside is misaligned for me but is okay. Could be a bit more comfortable and hopefully will be properly all day comfortable when fully broken in. And not obviously bike boots so, they don't look out of place when worn around town with jeans.

Great boot, well made,good looking motorcycle boot.

First time out and it rained heavily. I definitely felt a bit of rain come in through the laces area, but being new I couldn't do them up really tight as they were stiff. Also at the back, not being high the rain trousers road up, which isn't the fault of the boot but worth bearing in mind. Overall they seem a really solid well built product that were all day comfortable from the off. The laces area does have a gusset, but the zip at the side doesn't. However this area didn't leak.
