Short boots

[sheriffjonny]

I got a present from the postman today, a pair of Blytz short boots.

I got a good deal on them for half price, so around £25. Wore them today for about 20 miles. I found them very comfy and they seemed to give me plenty of support. I think they are a pretty generic boot, badged up under different names such as FT, Nitro and Akito.

Really mpressed with them for the price, and they should fit their purpose pretty well, which on this bike will be to ferry me to the train station, and then carry me accross the tube network to west london daily.

I will be looking for a pair of longer boots aswell, has anybody else had a longer pair of boots from one of these brands, they are cheap, and these seem good quality, so if anybody can rate them I might just buy a pair

these?

Exactly the same as my boots. They're definately generic and rebadged as mine are 'Tuzo' but identicle.

Very comfy, very waterproof, mine were about £30 I think

ah no idea about them, I prefer to not wear anything shorter than those others I posted. I like the support (plus I can tuck my work pants in to stop them getting grim in the bad weather).

They're probs not as short as they look, they fully cover my ankles. That was the main thing i was concerned about actually as I have a dodgy ankle from a sky diving injury from a couple of years ago, well if you call falling off a fence sky diving that is

I recently got the pair Shinigami posted for just £12 - they were second hand but basically new! Haven't worn them on the bike yet (not on the road atm ), but they seem sturdy and well made.

And seeing as they're worth £60 new, I'm not complaining!

they do look a bit like those snow boot things that old people buy out of the TV times adverts though.

My O/H has a pair of the Tuzo branded boots and they seem to be decent quality for the price.

(and considering I paid £80+ for a pair of similar Arlen Ness branded boots, my boots haven't worn well at all.)

Had a pair of those tuzos for about 8 months until the sole snapped on each boot, which meant water getting in through the bottom. They were quite good until that happened though. Comfy, but that's as they aren't very armoured, still they'll hold up better than trainers in an off

yeah they're not as armoured as the race style boots i've got but they're much more practical in that

a) i can walk in them
b) i can get away with wearing them in work as no one seems to have noticed they're not just black shoes yet (despite the big gear change protector)

If anyone can find a pair of short boots in a 49 I will Karma the shit out of them. Offerings from A*, Sidi, TCX, Daytona etc. All stop at 48 for their short boots.
