Hey all, new boy here.
![]() I'm after an SV in a few weeks, just need to sell my car first (buyer hopefully coming this weekend for it)... and the small matter of buying all the kit and passing my test! But anyway... The immediate problem I have is that, although I'm not fat or anything, I've got ridiculously muscular Calf's and I struggle to get boots to fasten or velcro up around the stupid things ![]() Any ideas on an all-round boot (waterproof) that won't break the bank (around £100 - £140) that come in a fat leg fitment!? Cheers, Col. |

Have a look at Daytona's. They have boots that have lots of adjustment options for around the calfs, they are also excellent bike boots.

You aren't the only one with muscular legs - my husband has the same problem. However his full boots have been around a good few years and I really couldn't tell you where he got them from. However he does have a pair of shorter boots which he wears an awful lot - Nitro NB-30 boots - search for them on this page: http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/hermes/shop/2,1,100
Probably not massively helpful, but at least you know you aren't alone! |

Thanks for that people, I'm actually gonna be calling into the Leeds J&S in the next week or so, I'll ask to try some shorter boots on... See if they're easier to live with
![]() I'd like to get some 'normal' length boots too, but we shall see ![]() Ta, Col. |

i use to work outdoors and had the same problem, unfortunatly the only boots that i could get around my legs were SIDI Corsa the ratchet system makes it much easier.. although when putting over leathers as well as legs i have a fight

Might not be your style, and you have to wait for them to be made, but consider http://www.altberg.co.uk/
I've had some Clubman Classics for a few years now and they are excellent boots. You can give them a ring and see what they can do for you, the boots are made in their factory and they can make changes within reason. I had some narrow fitting ones. The factory shop prices are well below RRP, my Clubmans were £114, admittedly 3 or 4 yrs ago now. |

Take a look here - Altberg make boots to measure & the boots are superb - Granted, not 'Sports Bike' power ranger type boots, but cracking all the same ![]() |
