Falco Marshall Leather Boots - Brown

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.

Although initially pleased with my purchase, my low score reflects the poor performance in wet weather. Bought as my winter go to boots, they leaked badly during a summer trip to Sweden. Boasting a waterproof membrane and an apparently robust construction, I had expected much better! Having returned the boots to SBS I was also disappointed to see no physical signs of testing and no report to explain which testing criteria had been used. I realise that not all membranes approach the performance of Goretex and Event but if advertised as waterproof then I would expect the first years performance to reflect these claims!
This is my first complaint however and I have been using SBS for many years, and will continue to do so!
