Thanks Soulkiss I see where you are coming from but Ladystar boots make me over 2" taller, they are sepcial boots for small riders and hence cost ALOT of money, I can't afford to have a 2nd pair and without them I am on tippy toes. My other option is to adopt the bike but now I have invested in the boots (actually boyfriend has) I feel that after spending so much dosh they should last more than 8 months specially when I hardly use them.

Stu, the velco won't hold the boot by itself, these boots have velco bits and zips all around, back (for calf adjustments) and the tension pulls it open as it is the main zip that has bust. I did think of an elastic band (industrial strength) but then I thought that probably wouldnt work LOL

Bloody hell, women and shoes hey
