Boots - Frank Thomas Aqua Pro Sport - SV650.org

13-07-04, 09:19 AM

Used 11 months, less than 4000 miles.
OK through the winter, waterproof and OK to walk in.
BUT
Last week they leaked, big time, through the toes area.
Sent back under 12 month warranty but ended up buying a second pair of boots (not FT) so I can still ride.

I cannot recommend these boots. I have found other comments on the web with similar problems.

I don't recommend these boots at all. I had a pair that leaked on the first down pour that I rode in. Took them back and got them replaced. Next heavy rain fall..........yup they leaked.

Light showers and such they are fine. But when you really need them to keep your feet dry, they fail. My Sidi vert boots held the rain out better than the Frank Thomas ones

I've got Frank Thomas Aqua boots (not sure about the Pro Sport bit or whether they're different...) and I've been extremely happy with them. Used them every day for 6 years now and apart from cosmetic scuffing etc they're still respectable-looking, very comfortable and waterproof.

Anything that's had that much wear and still going strong is pretty good in my books - will probably buy the same again.
