I had a look at some in a bike shop they look a bit tougher and have better protection that the SMX3.

There was a small review in one of the bike mags. The tester said they were tough and were taking some time to break in. But I found my SMX3's like that.

Oh and Viney. Welcome to Chavworld :D

( at least your feet will stay dry now )

Currently got SMX's. They are OK but the velcro closure is pants. That's why I am looking at boots with a ratchet type closure to secure them.

I think these boots look a little less chavvy than the similar priced SIDI's. I was also looking at Gaerne boots.

Decisions, decisions....!

Couldn't agree more, at a week old the velcro no longer stuck. I reckon SMX R's forme next time.

If mine do that, they are going back.

I agree to the velcro on SMX3 Goretex boots is not very good at all. However my standard SMX3's are much much better in this respect.

Just make sure you give them a good check over when you get them. I've had 3 pairs of these the, 2 pairs have been fine the third pair ( the goretex ones ) the Velcro isnt very strong on.

Oh and they are really stiff when you get them, they take a bit of breaking in but once you have done so they are really comfy like wearing trainers.
