Boot grip on wet roads

[Pukmeister]

If your boots are comfortable but slippery, an option is to contact Richard Kemp AKA “The Tilehurst Cobbler” online or on Facebook and get them resoled with a Vibram sole.

I’ve used Richard for leather and zip repairs to ankle bike boots, he did a perfect repair job.

Will attempt any job as long as it is possible….

I wonder how many he’s attempted, only to discover the job is impossible?

PS I am sure he’s very good

Will save the link for “The Tilehurst Cobbler” just in case. thank you.

My RST Pathfinder boots are a very nice fit. Apart from the soles being to slippery for me in the wet, there the best boots i have had in my 40 plus years of riding.
Will now use the pathfinder boots from spring onward when wearing my learther trousers. I also have a pair of RST Frontier ankle boots for then i wear my motorcycle jeans. There a nice boot to.

I have now sorted the warranty out using the link given by AA388.

The nice mr postman has just delivered my Daytona boots.
I found them easy to put on, and nice and wide.
There is plenty of room inside them for a pair of thick winter socks.

I also think i was lucky with the price i paid.
There now listed at £448 including the Black Friday discount.
Where i paid just £358 for them as at the time they were £448 not including the black friday discount.

Have you tried doing skids on the road?

So I got out on the bike today and used my new boots for the first time.
It was 3 degrees when i first went out. My feet stayed nice and warm in my thicker winter socks. The grip from the soles was great and i liked how much room my feet had inside the boots to.
The only time my foot slipped was when i put it down on a leaf, but apart from that the grip was good.
I also need to raise the gear changer as the boots are thicker than my other boots.
But all in all i am very happy with them and feel it was money well spent.
