Falco Marshall Leather Boots - Brown

I have just had a pair returned as they leaked at the toe after 10 days of use I am advised this is acceptable by the standard they are designed and built to leaking is acceptable
The reply was after testing my returned boots, which I question as still dirty on the bottom:-
As showing in the photo attached, these boots are made to the standard EN13634 2017. To meet this standard, the water ingress test involves walking or replicating 1km in shallow water 2 cm's above sole line, after the test the inside of the boot must not show dampness/leak no bigger than 3cm. These boots showed no water ingress to this standard
There is a link to the CE standards on the description but there is no quote of the CE standard the boots are built to ,only the statement;-
'High-Tex waterproof and breathable internal membrane
Apparently waterproof means you get get 3cm of wet area in your boots when riding
I had the previous style pair from 2017 and with stiching failing they are still waterproof completely

Great service as usual, vast variety of boots to choose from, 100% happy with my final choice, great service and lovely staff.

Nice looking boots and comfortable straight away. One tiny bit of untidy stitching with loose ends.
Not worn in the rain yet, I am wary others have said the waterproofing fails.

These boots are nice boots to wear and use on the bike but are not waterproof as advertised. They should be removed from the 'waterproof' section . I had used the earlier design of this boot since 2019, and found they were waterproof until this year when they started to leak . I liked the boot so just wanted a replacement. These newer boots did not keep the rain out on the first day of use. I returned them. If you do order any then I found they fit a bit tight so needed a size bigger.
