I like those boots but I wouldn't be able to reach the zipper on my left footI prefer to use BMW air boots but not in wet conditions, i do carry boot covers just in case.
If expecting rain or cold I wear BMW Goretex boots.
Both use zippers and Velcro to close, I have never experienced a leaking BMW Goretex boot and I have ridden in a LOT of rain with them.
I had a pair of those and loved them, but due to too many crashes I have an artificial hip and I can't reach the outside of my left foot so I can't clip them down, I need to find something that has a zipper on the inside, everything I have found have bad reviews and made of cheap plasticI have a number of boots but for general duty I like my Forma Terra Evo Low boots. Very comfortable, good protection, easy on and off and can walk in them all day long.
Yeah I'm trolling the net looking at them, I really want the Forma Terra Evo Low boots because I like those the best, but it really is a struggle for me to get them on and off...But I only have to that twice a day so I'm learning towards the struggle. I was also looking at Icon Elsinore 2 but people are saying the plastic on the buckle break pretty quicklyOk so then I also have some Alpine Stars Andes V 2 I think. Velcro on the side, good protection but not the best for walking around in.
I'm kind of screwed when it comes to the boot dept. Being that I can't reach the outside of my left leg I am stuck with wearing a pair of steel toed lace up work boots. The Keens I have are pretty thick 8" high and have a rubber covered toe, and are extremely comfortable and waterproof and have the solid rubber sole like vibramI purchased Gaerne "balance oil " , comfortable , look good , but zero impact protection ... water proof and made of leather for abrasion protection . you can walk all day . almost the same as a high end sneaker... while I'm here , my Sidi crossfires have maximum protection , but you walk like Frankenstein .... need something in between . suggestions please.
I had mine resurfaced back in 2005 when I was 40 so I just have a bunch of titanium that replace the femur end and hip socket, but I never got my limberness back I even have a hard time tying my left shoe. I think this Boa system should be a god send for me, If I like them I will look into the Kilms for off roading the Icons are basically road bootsDmadman, I had the same issue with a hip had it replace, and 7 weeks later I took off on a motorcycle to Alaska for over 9000 miles.
best thing I ever did was have it replaced .
hope you get better
I ended up returning the Icons and ordered a pair of the OneilsHave a pair O’Neil sierra pro boots love them, waterproof breathable, very comfortable
