Which Boots?

Couriers leak

Interesting cos the couriers leak like a sieve and I was not happy with that as I had assumed that they would be waterproof "too much stitching sir" according to the staff. What rot! Like these new ones though!

I've got GS-1 boots, they don't leak too badly, i wear goretex socks anyway..... but they are very very comfy, the catches sometimes come undone, but if i were to renew my boots I'd either get a pair of sidi couriers or alpinestars tech 8

couriers

The sidi couriers are comfortable but the metal tips have come off and both boots have had the plastic straps break and stitching come undone.... so some issues over build quality - but the look and feel good (and safe!)

Tim....you can get MX boot caps from HG.......they have a slightly different curve from the Sidi Couriers but that's easily solved with a bit of mild plier action.

You screw them on underneath with the ikkle screws provided, and there are half a dozen heavy duty staple things that you hammer in from the top.

They only cost about £1.99 too, so a pretty good deal.......

Altberg........not the coolest design but comfortable for riding and walking. AND completely waterproof!!!!!! Need I say more.
