Triumph did a pair of 'period' strong boots that looked the part which were on offer this time last year but I didn't catch the name of them.
I generally wear a pair of Clarks street walking boots as opposed to chunky field boots

 

Hi Dougie, these boots of yours seem to have rather mixed reviews with some falling apart after only one or two years. Personally at £170 I would expect them to last A LOT longer.

My bike boots came from BMW. I bought them approx 20yrs ago and they are still comfy and totally waterproof to this day. Got a bit chewed by a puppy but that's not the boots' fault

 

I may end up buying these.

Dave - did you buy your "kevlar" jogging bottoms 20 years ago as well?

 

No mate, the kevlar versions weren't available then

 

I was going to say something about the big lads pants but you beat me to it Steve!

 

And just to hijack this thread....
I had my evening tea with wife and friends last night at the pub nr castleton!!

 

I think you saw his "kevlar" under-crackers - a very different product and not for those of a nervous disposition!

 

yeah i noticed a few had given them a bad review but the majority were good,i think they are supplied to the police force, Magnum are a part of hi-tec which i have an account with so i paid quite a bit less than £170 i've had them for a couple of years with no problems yet and they really are super comfy

 

They look good for the money - £64 - I think I might have some !!!!

 

Jez i thought Hein Gericke went bust a couple of years ago,they must have started up again,they used to do some good stuff

 

maybe someones bought the name, or maybe just selling online now

 

Hein Gericke UK went bust, they stayed on-line and overseas. Making a slow comeback in the UK.

Always had Alpinestars boots, stayed waterprooff and comfortable. I just weaar my race boots under jeans or textiles, sod wht they look like, prefer full protection of my dainty little ankles

 

Have a look at Altberg boots, based in Richmond, N.Yorks.
Not cheap boots but excellent quality. Mine are over 18 years old and showing little sign of use. They are still very comfortable (all day), still waterproof and look like they will outlast me by by a considerable margin. Lent them to a nephew who tried, and failed, to destroy them. Little twat - took ages to get them cleaned up, but they came up again like new.
I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone who wants a boot for life!
