Wanted - new boots

[Spout]

Time for a new pair of off road boots.

Need good protection, must have a gripped sole and be waterproof.

Any recommendations?

Still using the Sidi Couriers that I started off roading with with -they've been brilliant and some of my mates have been through 2 pairs of other boots in that time.
Not sure they're absolutely waterproof?. . . but with Sealskins fine.
Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Not if he's just asking for recommendations I would have thought.

I've not yet come across a proper off road boot that is 100% waterproof.

The nearest to this I've come across are what I use as my road boot, Sidi Adventures. They are fully waterproof (Gortex) and have a proper grippy sole, not the usual flat MX sole and prety much the same amount of protection as my AStar MX boots - not cheap though.

Big thread on them HERE

I've got a brand new pair of these in my garage that have never been used! Size 47 and just a tad on the tight side for me. Not waterproof though!

Thanks.

I'll have a look at the Sidi Adventures.

S'pose my next question is "Wanted - £300"

I too have Adventures for the road -don't feel quite as robust as the Courier to my mind (and more expensive) but with more than enough protection for a man with your level of expertise!

Alpine Star No Stop Trials are Great Comfortable from Day 1 and pretty waterproof. Use mine in Cambodia and the Himalayas
