Where's good to buy boots from online?

[Wonko The Sane]

For the past few years I've ordered from Sportsbikeshop and been happy with the service, especially the number of Richa waterproof boots I've had replaced under warranty due to leaking (3 pairs in 5 years) got to love a 365 day returns policy!

Just sent a new pair back and struggling to find alternatives as they never seem to have stock of waterproof boots in my budget and size in stock.

Heard bad things about Buster's in terms of replacement / refunds when returning items under warranty, but that's from internet reviews

Anyone got personal experience of online retailers?

Been sticking with brands I've actually heard of such as Spada, Richa etc rather than things such as Dojo, Trik Moto, Duchinni etc

Sounds like a lot of hassle. Why not get some you won't have to return like a set of altbergs?

I tend to stick to people's reviews and word of mouth.

Find a pair of boots I like, research the item, try and find somewhere to try it on. Then Google for the cheapest stockist.

Best pair of boots I have now are Forma Adventures, although the price has sky rocketed! Bought from M&P when they did that amazing 40% off event so got for £115.

I use them for everything, greenlaning, European tours, walking around town. Comfy and waterproof!

What's your budget and style? Or what do you need them for?

If they do fall apart one day, would be happy spending full price on them to be honest

Are busters still going for kit? I think j and s had a deal on rst waterproof ones.
Or wait a bit for usual NEC show sale to start.

Moo, are they the adventure low boots? What are the size/fitment like?

I've used FC Moto and Motocard numerous times with success. Motocard recently had a big Dainese clearout sale (which hurt my wallet) I picked up some new Dainese Goretex boots reduced from £250 to £140 to have in as spares.

Waterproof socks have come a long way recently. I'm rocking calf-length merino lined sealskinz in non-waterproof boots.

It's like wearing wellies in terms of waterproofness.

I've got some of the merino ones too. I still tend to wear an additional liner under them (in sub-zero winter cycling that would be another pair of merino socks), but I agree that they are better than the normal ones.

I also don't think I've ever had wet feet wearing sealskinz even in the most appalling weather - as long as layers are correct to stop water running down into them - it just sometimes feels like it!
