Advice & Guides Going Gore-Tex is the best way to avoid wet feet - and these are the best picks for biking…
Customers consistently praise Daytona boots for their exceptional quality and comfort. Shorter riders particularly appreciate the raised soles, which enhance stability and confidence on taller, heavier bikes. The boots are described as well-made, durable, and true to size, making them a worthwhile investment despite their high price. Users also note the need to adjust gear levers to accommodate the extra height but quickly adapt. Features like dual zippers and waterproofing further enhance the product's appeal.
Brilliant. That’s the thing that comes to mind. If you can swallow the price tag, do it. Buy them. Granted they are not the nicest looking boots but under jeans they don’t look bad.
I thought about lowering my bike, then stumbled across these. I am so much more confident now. Feet are properly planted. If you are going to lower your bike, consider these as the extra height goes with you from bike to bike, no messing with stock suspension, if you get a courtesy bike, you have your new boots on, no problem.
They do not look like high heels when you wear them.
Wasn’t sure if I was a size 7 or 8. SPORTSBIKESHOP no problem, try them on and return them for the other size if not happy. Great service from the guys at sbs aswell.
I bought these boots as I'm short and bikes are getting taller. On my bike my balls of my feet touch the ground on both sides. With these boots both feet sit completely on the ground. So if your feet don't actually reach the ground then these boots wont help in my view.
They are well made, as they should be at this price and comfortable. I found the twin zips difficult to do up initially but they're getting easier every time I wear them.
I haven't used them in the rain yet so can't comment on they're waterproof properties.
The boot size was good, but due to the very small calf size I could not Zip them up. zips were VERY stiff too. Had to return them which was a shame as the quality is good. They would be ok if you have got chicken legs :)
I have always thought boots like these were silly money. But, I wanted to buy my biker friend something he would provably never buy for himself.
When these boots arrived I was amazed at the quality of the materials and the sturdy construction. Far better than the anything I had ever bought for myself.
The higher internal heel construction will add another inch in leg reach, which for a vertically challenged, adventure bike rider like my friend, these boots may prevent another embaressing car park topple.
I need to buy a pair for myself.
Excellent fit and comfortable. Perfect for getting feet planted on taller bikes.
Great boots I have the Daytona G-Star boots which I love and I wanted a short boot for my jeans so got these. Quality and fitting are top class. Sportsbikeshop are my go to for my riding gear and any accessories too. Excellent service and super fast delivery.
Used Daytona boots for years/ excellent quality/gortex.. still got the standard full lenght Daytona boots but wanted the short lenght with the raised inner heel.. more flat footed when carrying luggage and pillion.. did order 2 sizes 41/ 42 into shop to get the perfect fit.. but seem true to size I'm size 41 and fitted perfect..
I have not worn these boots on the bike yet so can’t review the lift they give but I have worn them a lot around the house to wear them in. I suffer with issues with my feet and when I put these boots on they are so comfortable I can hardly believe grey are designed for riding and not walking. They give amazing for support for anybody with feet issues.
Have a new BMW 1300 GS adventure with a lowered seat, chassis and suspension and still I’m on tip toes. Tried several boots but these German made Daytona Max Sport provide a comfy fit, quality made, waterproof, soft leather and two zips making taking on and off easy. After a weeks use the boots fit perfectly and I am very happy with them.
And they have given me an extra inch… it makes all the difference.
Great Daytona quality and excellent Sportsbikeshop service as always. 2" increase in head height and gives confidence above previous toe touching!
Usual Daytona quality, only used twice but were comfortable from the off. Can’t comment on their waterproof abilities yet, but I’m sure they will be ok, added bonus I can get better foot down now…
Great boots for short people always wanted to be 2in taller
Took me a few years to find comfortable boots. These were comfortable from the moment I first put them on and the few centimetres of lift is perfect for stability on the bike
Superb quality boots, really soft leather and the dual zips make getting them on and off easy. Having stubby legs the inserts make a huge difference. I wasn't bothered in the past about shuffling feet but getting older it just feels a lot more comfortable having both feet flat on the deck. Highly recommended
After much debate, bought these to help with height. I have always managed but it's the heavy weight of my latest bike that challenges when on tip toe. The extra height these give definitely helps. Had to raise the gear peg height to max to accommodate the extra toe thickness but quickly got used to it. The quality and design of the boot is excellent. The leather needs breaking in a bit and recommend a coolmax type mid thickness sock for comfort.
The extra height is great for confidence.
To start with, they feel a bit like you are sliding to the front of the boots, as I'm not used to 'heels' it felt a bit weird but that feeling soon goes and they just feel like normal boots.
Used Daytona's for a few years. The wife has had the increased height lady version for a while and loves them.
They feel a bit weird to start as they slightly pitch forward due to the difference in rear and forward lift but you soon get used to it.
Makes a big difference if you're tip toes.
Normal great Daytona quality.
I bought these to gain extra grip on the ground, being short in the leg and on top toes. That do make a difference. I had to adjust my gear lever to accommodate the boot but was pleasantly surprised that they don't feel awkward at all. Quality is excellent. Very pricy but I'm hoping they are my forever boots.

I'm tempted to advise going for the size 41, as they are normally true to size.
