DH autos in Newcastle under Lyme. Friendly staff, good selection and keen prices. I always go there first, then have a shop around but always end up back there for the purchase.

Many thanks Ian Mckechnie, that could be the perfect solution, although I think I would need to make the 3 hour trip to see them to get them to measure my feet properly. http://www.altberg.co.uk/fitting/

I've tried a wide range of boots including Alt berg, Hein and Daytona. Have Daytona boots - beautifully made - however experience of off and on road riding has taught me this kind of boot provides little impact protection to the toes and metatarsal bones and rotational damage to the ankle. Suggest you try Sidi - like Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex or Deep Rain Motorcycle or Courier Boots. They look odd at first for a touring bike - but actually work.

Go to J & S Accessories in Birmingham or Northwich - good choice of makes & sizes. I tried Daytonas on there then bought them online direct from Germany. Loads cheaper and here in 48 hrs
