I replaced mine with a new pair from moto-they on EBay. £229 brand new
Daytona Roadstar GTX Refurbishment - Is it worth it?
- Thread starter Dellis
- Start date
The current exchange rate makes buying in the EU really sensible. I had my Daytona boots for 7 yrs, I should have sent them fro a refurb sooner as they were shot, so they went in the bin. Altbergs now but I do miss the slipper like quality of them
In case anyone's interested...
My Daytona Roadstar GTXs are about 10-12 years old now, and they've been brilliant, but the soles have finally given up the ghost, though not the waterproofness!
I've had them re-soled by Sport & Leisure Boot Repairs and am very pleased with the result.

In total, it cost £56.95, and for that, they send you a bag, you phone them when you're ready, and then a courier comes and collects... in my case, within 2-hours! They collected on Thursday, and I got them back today (Tuesday).. and here are the before & after pictures...

Looks like you've spliced something unpleasant with your right boot already.
Good place to know about that - cheers! 
Have you tried these in the rain yet fella, they look very decent. I'm wondering how waterproof they are?
That's my problem too..... Daytona Shair GTX (The Hein Gericke exclusive version). Soles/heels now knackered but they have never let in a drop of water over 10 years and 100k miles, even with the leather behind the gear change cushion cracking and they are SO comfortable.
Unfortunately I don't have a good reason to replace them.......
Been through a few good rain showers and they are good so far, but haven't tried them in several hours of torrential stuff.. that'll be the ultimate test.
I'll let you know
Mine were sent back by smart riders at Christchurch as one of the soles had become detached. Even though they were out of warranty, between Infinity/Tram Am/Daytona the boots were resoled and repaired FOC.
These boots are fantastic and excellent vfm, whether you pay to have them reconditioned or not.

I second this I got a pair from eBay for under 100 used got a slight leak just in passing conversation mentioned it to the lads in infinity 6 weeks later I had a new pair compleatly free via the warranty
