    They look pretty bloody close to mine possibly a newer version, can't fault em great grip underneath, waterproof to a point I got mine wet inside only slightly after hosing em for like 3 hours (didn't change into gum boots at work haha) a little stiff until worn in oh the inside comes out when I take my foot out easy enough to put back though. I picked mine up for $50 in a closing down sale (JACKPOT)

    Just remember grey, bike boots ain't meant for walkin! I looked at those and they weren't too bad, but in the end I went for the ankle high stunt boot.

    An old saying; 'keep your motorbike in good repair, as motorbike boots are not made for walking'.
    I found that in an old English magazine from 1939.

    Well they all know Im home 99% of the time ..... and ,unless its a new guy which I dont think it is , they all leave everything at my front door , knock, then go ...... even if it needs to be signed for.

    They are just shitty contractors that dont give a crap .... the present guy is friendly enough but just whinges and whines all the time about the amount he has to deliver ... ummm , its his job of choice?

    The only thing I can put it down to is he has another driver helping because of the December overload.

    Typical star track (I am guessing? They have gone rather downhill since merging with AAE) don't both to knock & just leave a card. Do they even have your package in the van or did they dump it at the post office!? You can never know.

    I bought Rjays Altitude II boots. They seemed OK in the store as I walked around in them, but upon using them in my first L's attempt I found they were too big for me and my feet were sliding around. I also had a hard time telling if I'd shifted up/down correctly or if I had my foot on the brake or not.

    Felt a lot more natural doing it in sneakers today, I also didn't wear the jacket I have, I only brought helmet and gloves today and was much more successful with the practical test.

    So I guess rule #1 for boots is comfort & fit... worry about protection after you find something that suits you!
