Title: Best waterproof all year boots?
Post by: Euroned on April 18, 2011, 20:38:39

My old Alpinestar gps 3 boots about 3 yrs old now and started to leak abit last winter, looking to change before the winter(hopefully get spring summer time...?cheaper)...want to spend no more than £150....looking at SPADA PREDATOR, Frank thomas aqua, Spada st1 waterproof, or alpinestars gps 3 again?

 Need for daily commuting and rideouts and touring....a boot for all seasons?!


 Any advise please?


 Cheers

 Neil

sadly out of your £150 price range, but HG Ralleye GTX II boots are doing me proud, all year round. Update is imminent, version III.

I've had a pair of these (http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/clothing/motorcyle-clothing/boots-shoes/bullson-cycko-iii-stiefel-schwarz.html) for about the last two years. The front seams started letting in a bit of moist on one of them after about 18 months, I gave them a clean (only clean they ever had) and put some Renapur on them and haven't had an issue again since (the leather just needed some love.) Been looking around for new boots up to a £200 budget myself, but I might just stick to these and get myself another pair when they wear out. They fasten with velcro which makes them very quick and easy to get on and off, ideal for everyday use. I haven't found anything as comfy yet either and I've been trying on boots for the last 6 months to find something better. I've read articles about other people having had these for 4 years and just buying the next version or the same boots again. Best thing is that they're only £100, you'll have £50 left for fuel :thumb:
