Hi

Does anyone else has the same opinion and trouble as me ? Surely not ?!

Bike shoes/boots comes in unlimited style and shape. For the best ones, they usually comes up to the chins...waterproof, breathable etc etc.

Does anyone else have the same problem or is it me ? Do the manufacturer try the stuff on themselves ?

You have to gear up before you put your boot on right ? But they doesn't allow enough flexibility on the trousers to put on the boot !!! They have the zip to expand it...but still you have so much trouble getting it on. Then you got the boot having to go over your trousers.....they don't open enough to include your trousers. Is it me or does anyone else has the same issue ? What do you do ?

Because of this same issue with gloves, I've resorted to short gloves and ankles boots.....sucks

Your problem is either

a) Your trousers are too small

b) Your command on the English language is insufficient to explain to people what on earth you are on about

I just put my trousers (RST Alpha, II I think)) on roll/pull the bottoms up a little, put my boots on (RST Raptor) then put the trousers back down and do the zip on the trousers.

I think the trick is to be sitting down when your putting them on.
Also boots are a little stiff until you've worn them for a while.

Never had an issue. I wear SIDI sports boots with Kevlar jeans and they fit over perfectly.

If getting dressed is such a challenge it requires a thread I think your stay here is going to be a rather lengthy and tiresome one.

edit: don't ask. Mad

I wear kevlar jeans and short boots so never really had an issue, but every pair of gloves I've had can go over my jackert (admittedly with the same jacket).

wtf kind of logic dictates you put the trousers inside the boots? rain water, road sludge and small pixies would find their way onto the trousers and then have a route directly to your feet Confused

if you're having trouble getting the gear on, its either due to you being a fat fker or you bought the wrong sized gear.. potentially both
