Gore-Tex not keeping out water? There's a different procedure to getting it sorted, and here's an explainer...
Customers have praised Klim Outlander boots for their comfort, innovative BOA lacing system, and versatility both on and off the bike. The boots are commended for being waterproof and breathable, making them suitable for various weather conditions. Reports indicate they perform well in keeping feet dry and providing adequate protection with minimal break-in time required. Although they carry a higher price tag, customers feel the quality justifies the cost, expressing satisfaction with fit and durability even for those usually requiring wider footwear.
My second pair. This one a cm larger than I usually get. Much better. A usual theme for
klim.
These boots are simply fantastic, super lightweight so you really don’t feel like you have them on, yes they are a little pricey but well worth the money
Great boot so comfy, easy to get on and off and the lacing system is great. You could wear them all day and out at night. Well worth the money.
I was surprised by how comfortable these boots were on day one of getting them. This comfort has not changed after a 5 day 1,000 mile tour wearing them for 10-12 hours a day. Despite being rained on nearly constantly they never let water in, except when my over trousers lifted up allowing a few drips in the top. They are both comfortable to walk in and ride in, with plenty of grip.
The BOA system to close them works well, making getting them on and off easy, all though I did have to move the tongue sometimes as it tried going on the outside of the boot.
I will be buying these boots from now on.
They are fantastic boots, very comfortable, lightweight, waterproof with the great lace system. The only downside is that they are not accurate to the size. Normally I wearing number 9 UK but this boots are smaller to the size so I have to buy number 10 UK to fit me best.
This is my second purchase of the excellent mid-ankle Klim Outlander, the first having served me 25k odd miles where the gear change reinforcement patch was beginning to wear a bit too thin and the patina tarnished from salt staining over three winters of heavy riding.
1. The BOA fastening system (as used on ski boots) is so easy and quick to get the boots on and off and allows you to tighten securely but at the same time comfortably - a real pleasure to use.
2. The grip is fantastic for all types of road surfaces wet and dry, including forest trails and green laning.
3., Being Gortex they keep your feet dry.
4. I especially like the ‘clever by design’ mixture of leather and synthetic materials giving the boot an extremely comfortable fit from the off and adds to their great styling.
5. I’m usually a size 10.5 inches for shoes, trainers etc and found the Euro size 46 is perfect - noting that is one size up hence not true to size. Come supplied with a spare insole which the spec states allows for a more flexible fit if required.
6. When off the bike, they are very easy to walk around in and give the feel and visual impression of a normal (great) quality hiking boot. The subtlety designed gear-change reinforcement patch is an especial highlight feature for comfort.
Yes the Outlander is relatively expensive but worth every penny and I can’t fault them.
Excellent ‘try on before you buy’ service from SBS and shout out to the always helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly staff at the Leeds store. Highly recommended.
This is the second pair of Outlander boots for me. They are so comfortable to wear, ride bikes with and to walk in. Have not found a more effective boot in the last 50 years of riding.
I sent to SportsBikeShop knowing I’d be able to try on a range of boots, and in the end I think I tried at least five different boots on. These were the clear winner for me, and worth the extra money. Have since ridden and walked in the and really glad I went for the Klims. I will say the left boot has extra gear shifter protection which does feel hard when walking (it was the only reason for me to hesitate and try other boots), but after wearing a few time it’s starting to soften up. These boots also have a “half size” insert which I used to dial in the fit which I really liked - the Boa lace system is awesome. Feels like wearing slippers when riding! Huge thanks to SBS for putting up with me visiting multiple times to try different boots & sizes.
Personally I don't like a longer boot I always find them hard to put on. Big feet and being more mature is the main issue I guess. The whole front of the boot folds down giving easy access and I love the Boa wind up lace so simple jet effective to use. The only issue I would have and it's maybe my legs is that when closed they seem like they would let water in as they don't close tightly.
Really happy with my Klim Outlander Gore-Tex boots from SBS — they strike a great balance between comfort and proper protection. The leather is tough but flexible, the BOA lacing system is super quick and easy to adjust (even with cold fingers or gloves on), and the Gore-Tex lining has kept my feet dry through a couple of typical British downpours. They’re surprisingly good to walk around in too — not that usual clunky, stiff feel you get with some adventure boots.
Before buying, I’d seen loads of positive feedback and they’ve definitely lived up to it. Quite a few people had commented on how comfortable they are for longer days both on and off the bike, and I’d agree — I’ve happily worn them all day without any issues.
Only minor niggle is they don’t have a gear shift pad on the right boot (so the boots don't look 'identical'), but honestly that’s not really a problem, more just asthetics!
Overall, I’d say they’re well worth the money if you want a versatile, waterproof boot that feels great to ride and walk in.
I absolutely love these boots, they are true to size and are the most comfortables boots I have had. I love the style and go well with cargo pants
Very comfortable, even out the box. Would recommend sizing up 1 size, I'm normally a size 8 UK (42 EU) and I got size 9 UK (43 EU) and the fit perfectly. Best motorcycle boots I have owned
Straight away the boots are really comfortable. The arch is a little high but I've got used to it fairly quickly.
The BOA system is amazing. It makes getting the boots on and off super quick.
You get two additional insoles that you can add to reduce the fit by a half size. This is useful if you find yourself between sizes.
There is enough flex in the foot but it still feels sturdy and safe.
Sportsbikeshop Milton Keynes were excellent. I had bought a pair of Richa boots just under a year ago which had fallen apart. SBS sent them back to the manufacturer for me and a week later they offered me a refund because they couldn't be repaired. The money went towards the Klim Outlander boots which I'm over the moon with.
So Fortnine recommended this boot and SBS was the only supplier I could find. So I ordered them. I then find out there is a long lead in time something like 6 weeks. I was annoyed and frustrated, but I figured I had little choice other than cash out. Eventually they came but beware, the sizing on these is small. I am 10 /44 everywhere except with Klim. Orderer bigger than you would normally. So I seb=nt them back to SBS. This time they had stock and I got them by return. The boots are great, love the Boa and they are just so light weight and comfortable. I find myself wearing them all the time now. SBS are nice people and a quietly customer focused. Working away in the background to get what you want as soon as they are able. Perfect.....eventually.
straight out of the box these boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn in 50yrs of motorcycling quality looks superb and very robust Very happy with my purchase and great service from Sportsbike shop as always
Goretex liner failed after 9 months of light use in both boots. After returning them, they were sent back to me and I had to raise a claim with Goretex myself which seems wrong as they were less than 12 months old. Not worth the £300 price tag.
Fits well. BOA is so easy to use. Sportsbikeshop is quick and simple.
Designed for high end performance both on and off the bike. The Outlander brings motorcycle protection to the comfort of a waterproof hiking boot. Featuring footpeg support, discrete protection and a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane.
