Verified Customer Reviews for Merlin Bandit D3O Waterproof Leather Boots

Laces broke after a few weeks

The boots are comfy and feel planted on the road and on my scrambler’s pegs, and also for walking around in. I’ve spent all day in them once when I forgot to pack my work shoes, with no bother. The only issue was with the laces. The standard ones are way too long making it dangerous if you don’t tie them up properly. Plus they wore out and snapped after a few weeks. I replaced them with 120cm laces and they were a more suitable length (size 12 boot).

Quality build and finish

I bought these as a 'normal' looking boot to use with biking jeans when I'm meeting up with people and don't want to be wearing or carrying lots of biking gear. They're really solidly built and have a quality finish to them. I found the size slightly large but only enough to add an insole or thicker sock which then gives a snug but comfortable fit. They are comfortable to walk around in from the start. They feel robust which gives confidence to protect in a collision. Highly recommended.

I've been riding 35 years and until now always had sports boots with side zips. These lace up boots from Merlin are so much better as the laces give the boot support. They're warm enough so far and it's cold first thing already. And totally waterproof too. And the laces don't make them difficult to get on.

Straight out of the box comfort. As someone that struggles with footwear it's great to find a pair of boots this comfortable. Only worn them for a couple of rides so can't comment on longevity yet.
Size is spot on, and quality is great

Very satisfied with the product. Comfortable after some braking in, about a day of riding. Rode in them during showers, feet were warm and dry even though my other supposedly waterproof gear leaked badly in some spots. Boots feel spacious inside, even though I have taken my normal size, but this kind of footwear is meant to be worn with thick socks. It takes a bit of time to get used to switching gears if you are used to ride in snickers, but works perfectly.
Putting them on and taking off is much easier than it seems, if you undo the laces properly.

I haven't worn on a long ride yet and so I'm opting for 4 stars rather than 5, but they seem super comfy in the couple of times I've worn them so far

I was a bit worried that being reasonably tall, but with no side zip that they'd be a pain to put on, but actually, it's pretty straightforward

I am size 44 in all foot wear and these are true to size. Gear and rear brake feel is good.
A very comfortable boot straight out of the box.

They're a bit uncomfortable at first but after a few rides they're just fine. And also they are actually waterproof, I was caught in a pretty bad rain today and was 2hrs away from home and they did their job, feet were warm and dry when I got home.

Decided to go for Merlin boots as I purchased a pair for my wife a year ago. The Bandit D30 boots are very comfortable, good quality, great fit . Have only been tested in light rain with no issues. Very pleased with purchase

I have worn these on the bike and walked around town in them and I can't find a fault when wearing them. No bulk like a lot of the others with just the right level of flex. The boots come up higher than most in the category but it gives a reassuring feel of protection. Very comfortable with a quality feel.
