Bike boot life expectancy?

Even if you can't find the reciept, send them in anyway. A bank statement is better than nothing, and they can only say no!

Had a quick scan through my card statements but no luck there, I'll try checking my account later on.
Problem is I don't have the receipt and I can't remember where I've bought them from :/

Boots look like this now:






I'm thinking about writing to Sid Uk about the 5 year warranty, good idea?

Can't do any harm

I have a set of Alpinestars Ridge boots , the soles are worn out , the front are wearing through where the hem of my pants touches them , they have done 32,000 miles on the SV and about 7,000 on the Varadero . Used daily for 4 years and have seen the worst winters the UK has ever seen and are not leaking . I would love another pair and can`t find then anymore as J and S are full of Bull when they say they have them and you ride 50 miles to find they haven`t . Tosspots .

My AS SMX4GTex are 4 years old now and other than having some new velcro put on the flaps, they are still, cofortable, waterproof, and as far as i can make out, good for several more years. Soles are good. far better than my old Sidi Black rains!

I've dug through my old bank statements and found an PP transfer referring to the boots, found the PP transaction and the shop as well.

I can print a copy of the invoice

Update.

I've found the receipt and sent them back to the shop. I've been told they need to be sent back to the manufacturer.

Just had a call from the shop, Sidi refused to replace the boots on the grounds that they are too badly worn

I know the soles were worn, but only walking the boots have done is the 200m to the lock up and back! I had them for about 2 years and 15-20k miles, somehow I'd expect that the boots (from a proper manufacturer) should last a bit longer.

They are being send back to me with the paperwork now.

What Size are they Dyz? I need a replacement set for racing!
