Daytona vEvos just arrived from Germany.

£362 from this shop http://biker-land.de/index.php quite a saving on the 490-579 prices here at home

if you get them via their ebay shop you dont pay the 10 euro courier charge.

Very happy indeed.

I'm on my second pair of Daytona Shair's.
The first pair were still 100% waterproof but the sole had worn through after 6 years of courier use!
After you've broken them in, they do indeed feel like your fav slippers :)

My dad had a pair of Altberg's which they custom made for his foot width.
Def more of a walking boot for motorcyclists.

After you've had Daytonas, everything else seems rather poor.
I wouldn't go down the Sidi race boot avenue again ... I don't like that 'Power Ranger' look ;)

I now have two pairs of Altberg Clubmans.
1st pair bought when I was near the factory and popped in for a fitting. They arrived spot on the date advised and have been comfy and waterproof for 4 years and 80,000 or so miles.
Used pretty much every day.
I bought another pair when I realised I would need a resole on the LH foot (I wear them out when swiveling on and off bike).
Sent the first pair back for resole, so now have two pairs of excellent boots.
