My old boots (cheapie fake leather "Falcos") that I purchased 5 or 6 years ago "just to get me by" are no longer cutting it. I'm riding a lot more since I took delivery of my Bonneville last year.
:-D
So, I've been doing a little research on the web. Hmmm. It seems that the best waterproof boots are sold by SIDI, BMW, and, Triumph. A little further investigation has turned up the fact that BMW's and Triumph's boots are made by the same company in Italy, Jolly Scarpe, who also makes Dainese, and, Hein Gericke boots. (Isn't Google grand?)
I've already decided to spend the money on a top line pair of boots. Let's face it, foot injurys are the most common, yet least thought about injurys that occur to riders. I want to keep my feet (and ankles, and shins...) happy.
Now here is where you lot come in.
Can you give me some feedback on the Triumph "Expedition" boots, or simiar types from other manufacturers?
Also, if any of you have them, may I be so bold as to ask what your dealer was asking for them? Mine wants $260 US dollars. ( I get a 10% discount off that...)
Thanks in advance.
