John Doe Falcon Leather Boots - Black

These are some very stylish and comfy boots. The leather and construction feels decent quality. The zip makes them much easier to put on. The only gripe is that the sole on the right boot has separated slightly under the ball of the foot, so I feel it on every step, but it's a very minor annoyance.

I have very wide feet so ordered a 9.5 (usually a uk size 9) & they fit well. Quality seems good & they are very comfortable to wear. Can't comment on water tightness but bought them for summer so no issue for me. They feel like they'll last & i got the usual great service from Sportsbikeshop, can't fault the product or retailer.

I ride an R18 Classic which suffers from quite a lot of vibration through the foot plates. I usually wear Falco Rangers which are my favourite touring boots but they have poor vibration resistance which becomes annoying after an hour or so. Then I noticed the John Doe Falcon boots on the SBS website which claim to reduce vibration through the boot soles so I decided to give them a try. And they really do absorb vibration.
These new boots fitted perfectly from the onset but because I have rather thick ankles the laces were a tad short. New longer laces later and the problem solved.
I have ridden in these boots for a few hours now and they are already as comfortable and supportive as my current Ranger boots They are a little stiff around the ankle protection area but they should soften up with more use.
I don't know how water resistant the leather is on these boots so I have given the leather and gusseted tongue 2 good coatings of Duckwax as a precautionary measure.
These boots are quite stylish and even though mine are a size 12.5UK they don't look like huge clog hoppers.
Overall I am delighted with this purchase.
