I'm after a decent pair of size 13 UK bike boots. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thank you in advance. Thumbs Up

Depends how much money you want to spend, but I am sure if you contact a boot brand you would probably be able to order your size. I struggle to find size 12.

Have you tried to order size 13 from the shops?

13 as well. Bit of a pain finding boots especially if you have a particular one in mind (some don't do 13 but even the ones that do will not be in stock in many shops). Only advice I can give you is to ring up or go to the shops you know or are close and ask what they have in 13. I spent too long looking online for specific models I like that are made in that size, only to ring up and find out they don't have any in stock. Most will offer to order it for you, but you'll have to pay in advance and if it's not a good fit...

MOVE ALONG FLIPPER - THERES NO BOOTS FOR YOU HERE

Actually I'm in the same boat (snigger) as you, Try Hein Gericke

I'm a 13 too. I got a pair of alpinestars SMX-4s from Hein Gericke. They only had one pair, mind. Although i'm sure they'd be happy to order some in for you.

<edit> oops, just read the small print.

Have you considered binding your feet up in a chinese stylee?
Either that or commit a petty crime in a middle eastern country.

BENSR125 - Thanks for the info mate. I fancy a pair of them bad boys, just need to nick some cash of the missus to buy them!

I have not got flipper feet, the webs between my toes were removed at an early age after I was found washed up on the beach in Cornwall. And yes, I can swim faster than a shark!

Hi

If you are really struggling (although looks like you may well be OK for your size) then get some made. Might not be quite the style you want though, but likely to fit properly.

All the best

Right then. I went with the Alpinestars SMX-4 boots. Did a web search and spotted a sale on at alphamotorcycles. SMX-3 boots with £50 off...result! Bought them online & a few days later they phoned me up & said they were out of stock...boo hoo! However he would let me have the new SMX-4 boots for the same sale price...get in!

They arrived yesterday and fit like a glove...or boot to be more precise! Laughing

I tried loads of budget, bargain bin boots on at the Bike Show last year & couldn't find one pair that fitted me ok. Slipped on the Alpinestars last night & they're comfy as feck! Just goes to show that sometimes you just have to pay for quality!

Ta-ra! Thumbs Up
