Ankle boots
27 Aug 2026 by Sticky B
When I got the boots I thought these aren't going to be very comfortable but as time went on they broke in nicely and got very comfy, although I did wear them round the house for a while, so all good

Comfortable Boots
05 May 2026 by Anonymous
I suffer with bad feet I have to wear orthotics in my shoes . I tried these boots on and straight away they were comfortable seemed a bit wider than other boots I had tried. I have worn these quite a lot and they continue to be very comfortable on the bike and also walking in them too .

Great fit
20 Mar 2026 by Steven B
Lightweight and comfortable fit. I’m new to motorbiking and this is my fist foray into boots. I reviewed previous reviews and got half size up and that meant a great fit. The boots look good and also the mesh allows for some airflow into the boots which means your feet won’t get so hot. Overall great boots for the price! Also the customer services was amazing!

Great for warmer rides
25 Jul 2025 by Alan D
Very comfy straight from the box and true to the advertised size. First ride was in the 27° heatwave and immediately felt the cooler air flowing through. Not really done any walking in them, but think they’d be ok for a couple of miles, along the seafront for example. Never quite sure why the laces have to be ultra long on these style of boots, but the excess is easily tucked away behind the Velcro strap. In short, great summer riding footwear that stop your feet from cooking on the really hot days.
