Usually pretty good in terms of price, range, and delivery.

Ok ok, I take the hint 
I did search ebay and using google shopping but just found a few hits at the same £109. The £99 ones are the non waterproof ones. Just wondering if there was somewhere cheaper. I'lltake a look at the visor shop though.

Size 9 and as cheap as possible I do want proper race style boots though with toe sliders etc.
I'm trying to prove you can do trackdays on a budget...so far the combined total of the bike, track mods, back protector and leathers is £950 for a setup good enough to run in the fast group The only weak link is my boots which are very crap... I wouldn't want to come off at 150mph wearing them

I have the non WP version of these and I like them. When I was doing my research TCX boots seemed to have really good reviews. Also if you buy from ghostbikes you can get a small discount.
05GB75 for £5 off if you spend £75 or more.
05GB10 for £10 off if you spend £150 or more.
Probably not worth buying from ghostbikes just because of the discount, but if you're buying from that site anyway, you might as well save a fiver.

Never had any TCX boots but have been putting a lot of leg work for when I get some next week. Have been impressed by the looks and safety features of the boots.
I'm hoping to get some TCX Competizione S Gore-Tex as they have been discontinued and some really good prices (£175) plus great reviews. Just have to hope I can find some in my size next week.

I have a pair of these: https://www.wested.com/motorbike-touring-leather-red-coyote-boots-67-p.asp and they have not let a drop of water in yet.

Hmmm...I see I can only get up to size 10, I am a 10.5, usually buy 11. What size do you have? Would you say they make "roomy" shoes or is it a very correct fit?
Seems like a solid shout, and I need some cheap waterproof boots. Also, how much was postage? And can you walk in them as well? |

Postage is around £6 iirc. They are very comfy to walk in. I wear mine with 2 pairs of thick socks (I'm a size 10) and there is still plenty of room to wiggle my toes.

Thanks for all the replies chaps  Lot of good suggestions.
I was thinking more along the lines of more expensive boots that have been discounted rather than boots that are cheap in the first place as they have to be pretty good for the track but I'll definitely look into those wested ones. Could do with finding reviews but unless they're from someone that's had a major crash in them it won't tell you anything about the protection they might provide

I was thinking of going for the cheapy Frank Thomas ones but haven't ordered them yet. I'll report back once I've worn them and crashed in them
