Reviews Eleveit Tonale Waterproof boots review
Eleveit's all-rounder boots face a demanding test over 1200 miles and leave our reviewer smiling...
30 Jun 2025

I have a pair of short boots which have been excellent although starting to get a little tired now. I wanted a new pair which were longer but equally as comfortable. I didn't have time to go in store so ordered online knowing how good SBS is with returns and customer service in general. The new boots arrived next day and didn't disappoint from the off. They looked well made and were comfy in the house. I tested on a shorted ride which worked well too. The next ride was to Germany and back with a mixture of nice sun and heavy rain. The boots held up brilliantly and were comfortable throughout. The boots have a decent sole width so even made touching the ground easier which is a bonus. In all a great boot at sensible price point.
I’ve been looking for something for riding this winter and after lots of reading of reviews I went for these boots. So far so good. Won’t really know until January when we get the really cold days. The comfort is certainly as promised and kept my feet dry during a couple of September downpours, that was a relief. The disappointment comes from the ICE scan not working. One of the reasons for the purchase. I have other sources for that though, I didn’t want to drop a star for that, but it is a bug bare
I bought the Eleveit Venom boots in early May 25 for a 3000 mile bike tour to Europe, including 3 days in the Italian Dolomites and 3 days in the Alps. The boots kept me warm over mountain passes (down to 5C), and dry through 2 days of heavy rain (socks completely dry). They are very comfortable to ride and walk in; the only criticism is that the gear level has started to abrade the suede upper, the rubber rand has started to lift, and a couple of the stitches have failed (I have contacted Eleveit directly to suggest a reinforcement patch be added to instep/toe area). Other than this I would say they deserve their Ride recommendation.
I needed a boot that I could use every day, my requirements include being waterproof and with an inside leg zip for ease of getting on , very pleased with purchase with an additional bonus of having a slightly thicker sole which believe it or not makes getting on the bike a lot easier added safety features with e chip , very comfortable
In my opinion these are a good looking boot and appear well made. I've got thick calves and they do up easily, some boots won't even do up around my calves. Also I have short legs and they fit well height wise.
I was a bit dubious about the use of newbuck for the upper but Amazon sell boot protectors that are a strap secured by velco around your toecap. That works well.
I can't comment on the waterproofing yet.
The only downside is that I find the toe cap a bit big compared to my old Alpinestars. However that means that there's more room for winter socks. I've had to adjust my gear changing technique but I'm sure that will become the norm after a few rides. Or I could adjust my gear lever to suit.
A strong sturdy boot which is very tight to get on but really comfortable once on. Good for walking when off the bike and whilst I have only used it so far in light rain it's been completely waterproof. The suede finish washes off easily and overall very satisfied with a good value boot. Great delivery by Sportsbikeshop. Ordered online at 4 pm and delivered next morning
Ordered after reading good reviews. Really pleased I did. comfortable from the box, waterproof and look good. Feel light enough for all day use but sturdy enough to protect. Great choice.
I've been looking for a winter boot for some time and tried the Alpinestars rt-7 drystar which came up quite small, I'm a UK7 so I kept search and needing a pair for the weekend for what promised to be a very wet advanced group ride at a 200 miles round trip. It felt like hours of scrolling through sports bike direct and finally decided on the Eleveit Venom a EU 40 and 41 and sent back the 40's which were a little snug for my size 7 feet.
All I can say is Awesome! great boots my feet stayed dry in sideways wind, rain and a lot of road spray, the boots were very comfortable with good for feel on the gears and brake, I did have to adjust the gear lever which was expected after using a summer boot for most of the year. Suited with some good winter socks I think these boots will be spot on for the winter riding season. Bravo Eleveit just awesome!
