Winter boots

[Jefr0]

Hi all

Currently got a pair of nakered Berik boots which are going to be no good for winter.

I've seen some which look like summer boots but say waterproof etc like 'Sidi rains' but do they keep your feet warm?

Main thing in winter is staying warm and dry, do you have any experiences on some good winter boots anything under £150.

Thanks

No expert on riding gear, this is my first winter, but logically thinking you need something waterproof to keep the snow/slush/rain out and something that will also keep the wind out.

If there's no wind then your body heat will warm up the air inside your boot and you'll be fine.

I don't have loads of money, so I bought myself some of these which were, well, £50+P&P as the eBay page says They've kept the feet warm so far.

to stinkwheel for the idea:

Goretex lined army grade 1 surplus boots = £25
Tin of dubbin = £2.50
+
Waterproof socks = £10 (grade 1 surplus) to £25 (new Sealskinz)

You're lacking ankle protection, and that's about it. I've never been massively convinced by the usefulness of a couple of little plastic disks anyway.

Except gortex army boots are over £45

You might as well spend a little extra and buy proper motorcycle ones

I have Spada Waves. I paid £55. Been using them for a year now, and they've just started to leak slightly in torrential rain.

I bung a pair of sheepskin inner-sole things into my boots for the winter. Thicker socks too. Boots are already waterproof though.

And for those who are concerned about laces on a bike, running shops sell the elasticated laces that don't have the loose hanging bits - also make stuff easier to put on/take off. Although I'm not sure how they'd hold up in an off...

these should keep you warm dry and protected + you can walk in them as they have a proper sole.

Alternative to sealskinz maybe, lot cheaper at any rate.

I bought some Bullson sheltext Maddox boots from the Hein Gericke outlet on ebay for £30 - they only had the lining of one boot caught in the zipper so with a little wiggle it was out and perfectly good. Nice and warm and my feet have never been wet in them even after 2 hours on the A38 in torrential rain two years ago.

They often have a lot of crap on there but you can sometimes get a really good deal:

Two answers from me..

Not cheap.. TCX Infinity's but very good.
Cheaper idea that I used while dispatching was Gumboot/Wellingtons with thick socks as I had waterproofs on anyway.
