i need new summer boots, looking to spend around £100-140.
however, i work as a pizza boy, so walk in them a fair bit. they guy at infinity suggested adventure boots (linky).
do i get them, or get some more bike boots, and some combat boots (which i need to get anyway)?
What a borrocks suggestion.
Decent manufacturers produce dual use boots. Probably the best around at the price are BMW (yes, BMW) who produce the “Allround” boots and the “Santiago” boots.
My son and I can both vouch for the Allround. Both our pairs are about 6 or 7 years old and with just some pretty sloppy care a couple of times a year are still waterproof and comfortable. (I did two 16 hour days in them last year.)
Secondhand, I can endorse the Santiago. A friend has done the Paris Dakar and a whole seasons French enduros in a pair and now still using them two years later as day to day boots. He’s a professional rider including an all seasons motorcycle tester for a bike magazine, so they get kind of hammered.
Summer? What’s that?
Gaerne used to make boots (may still do) that were sold under the BMW brand. They do some good quality hardwearing boots that are warm, dry but still compfortable in the height of summer. Jackie and I both wear the Flow touring boot (currently £109 including postage).
I think BMW boots are (mostly) made by Diadora now.
Certainly they are mostly made in Italy according to the tags.
i cant seem to find the Santiago boots for sale anywhere.
and the BMW website seems to be sh*te when it comes to them.
any sugestions?
do they come in summery?
