Army boots safe for riding?

Can't agree with the steel toe cap comment.
Myth bustsers also had no issue and disproved that one too.
My toes were fine.
the bit between well that's a different story .

which shops in London have a good range of stock?

Infinity on Hangar Lane usually have a few in.

Personally i don't even think about it i have 2 proper bike boots and gloves both i would never go for cheap options as im a very skinny lad and last thing i want is to bugger my ankle or shin.

you can get very well priced high quality waterproof bike boots sidi alpinestars etc.. for £200 that will do everything you need for bike riding just need to commit to them and ride round the block a few times changing up and down, rear braking alot get a good feel its take a quite a few miles of riding for the boot to soften up and feel like an old comfy pair of slippers.

can't really say anythign that has'nt already been said.

200 squid is a lot. I need new tyres and a bar conversion or new clip ons... I only bought the bike two months ago... I'm blooming broke

well as I said it's a bit like kevlar jeans, as long as you know the limitation of what you wear on the bike, you can ride appropriately, but as far as kit is concerned, you've missed the main "kit" show which is the BMF rally in May, but they have a smaller one at the start of November called the "tail end", it's a good place to get some bargains( not only clothing, but locks chains/ puncture kits tents, just about anything bike related) and you can try before you buy mostly so you know it fits, I'll be shooting up for that as I normally do.

Cheers Mark.
