So today I rode through my first bit of rain since purchasing the boots back in April. I have been coast to coast riding with them. My feet got wet. I will have to say, I didn’t necessarily have them cinched down super tight around my legs, so that may have been my problem. I will have to conduct further testing to make sure.
I will say though, I rode through 114 degree heat across Montana on Sunday and 95 degree heat all day on Monday and my feet never bothered me with heat problems. Montana was brutal, the term hotter than hell comes to mind. I stopped in Laurel (just west of Billings) and it said 107 on the bike at the rest area. Upon departure, it rapidly climbed up to 113 and 114 for the rest of the way to Sheridan, WY. I was hot but my feet weren’t the problem. All day Monday riding from Sheridan to central Missouri (1100 miles) and no problems feeling hot in the much cooler 95 degree heat.
I will still give the boots a 5 star because they are comfortable and don’t make my feet hot. The jury is still out on the waterproof part. More testing to come.
