Recommend me: Boots
 
Righto

My current boots are now optomistically holding together, so time for new ones.

Spec is:
- Waterproof
- Good wearing
- 100 to 150 notes
- Not white

Thanks in advance

Oxtar/TCX no question, would have another pair no dramas. Both pairs of mine been secondhand and lasted well for the £40 they cost. Both mostly waterproof despite neither being goretex model.

Ive had no problems with these http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/moto...ent_prod/54392
Ridden through the winter and not had so much as a damp foot. Now 10 months old and no signs of failiure so far.

Sidi Black Rain Evo can be had for a bit above £150. A very good boot, i've had mine for 7 years and still going strong.

I have a pair of worn but still waterproof Sidi Canyons that I have wonr almost daily.

Need some new soles, but as they are more like normal boots than bike boots I will be able to drop them into a shoe place and get them re-soled.

Only issue is they are £250...

A word of warning on the Spada boots. I hate to say this as I like these boots but the two pairs that I had both suffered with the heel of the sole becoming detached from the uppers within two months of getting them. The second pair were a replacement for the first ones. I was really disappointed as these are robust, comfortable and waterproof - or they were until the sole came adrift.

Shame to hear about that mate. Mine have been worn for 5000 miles and no such problem. Maybe an early batch problem? or maybe I've just been lucky ;)
