Problem with Daytona boots - anyone know the website for Daytona?

[Lord Snooty]

My Goretex lined Daytona Road Star GTX boots have started to leak water and I want to contact the manufacturers for advice on how to restore the waterproof qualities.

Despite Google searches I cannot find the Daytona website - anybody know what it is or had similar problems with Daytona boots and managed to get them resolved?

I have the Roadstars and they're like slippers but waterproof. I give them a wipe over when they need it and treat them to daytona leather cream, I have also started using Nikwax aqueous wax which is as good.

Just out of curiosity how old are they?
I've never once cleaned or re proofed mine in about 4 years and they're stll water proof (but looking decidedly battered).

After 9 years of perennial use in all weathers mine started to seep, not a major leak but water was clearly getting in. I contacted Tran Am warranty repairs, who kindly arranged a pair of loan boots at a local dealer, where I returned my boots for repair. I think it took about 3 weeks an cost around £90. Strangely the loan boots leaked - a lot. Guess they were a pair of warrant returns.

The boots came back with new liners and new soles and were once again 100% waterproof. cheaper than a new pair and did not need breaking in again

Lord S' IIRC MikeP is your man, I think he sent a pair back for repair last year or the year before

I had a nightmare sending my TravelStar GTX boots back after the left sole disintegrated.

TranAm got me to give the boots to Infinity Motorcycles, as they didn't deal with the public.

Over 4 months and £120 later, I got a brand new pair of boots, as somewhere down the chain mine got lost.

TranAm don't have a great reputation with dealers.....

I foned the dealer (Doble in Coulsdon) I bought mine off and they said to bring them in, I was given a loan pair for the duration.

They were sne t back to Daytona, who tested them and then repaired/replaced the leaking part. been fine ever since, and not charged a cent. Excellent service, although it did take about 3 weeks.

About 6 years old.

You should be able to take them into any dealer that sells them, they return them to Germany. They charge about £70 plus vat, had mine done by infinity but any dealer should be able to send them back. Came back like new, both soles new goretex membrane etc.
