Boots

[Tonka]

I only wear boots... I have one pair of shoes I got married in. After wearing out many pairs of boots on the bike, some cheap some expensive, I got a pair of cheap rigger boots. About £25, and the things are indestructible! ...and I really am an infamous boot destroyer (and watch, trousers etc). They are just heavy leather, but I would keep them waxed, and they are as waterproof enough for wading through puddles when out off-roading in the 4x4 (have to walk unfamiliar obstacles first). On the bike only rubber boots are waterproof enough for a long, motorway ride in bad weather, but waxed leather lasts a lot longer than gortex. But for walking pace those boots are pretty good. Steelies can give you blisters though. They are actually better made than any of my £80 boots, and available pretty much everywhere for peanuts. The label says 'Grafters' and has a G-clamp logo.
