boots

it's not possible for a pair of MX boots to shrink, is it?

My feet must have got bigger - I can't get them on now without a fair
amount of discomfort.

Oh well, I fancy some retail therapy at the weekend anyway.

 

heh. My feet don't *look* any bigger or differently shaped, but I
think they've got a little wider.It's not a problem in any other shoes
or boots, I think it's because the MX boots are quite narrow, and
completely ridged - there's no give in the material at all. My race-
style boots (both are the same stated size, and made by SIDI) still
fit fine, though they're very tired looking now (they're about 9 years
old).

I'll probably replace them both with some supermoto boots instead.

 

Spreading under the weight?

 

Should I? Nah, **** it

I've lost 10 pounds since the start of the year.

 

Nip into Boots (no pun intended ) and get a bottle of surgical spirit.

Using a cloth, thoroughly soak the leather with the surgical spirit and wear
the boots for a while. They're stretch a treat. I had some shoes that were
similarly tight and some sidi race boots, once soaked in surgical spirit
they fit like a glove .. erm boot

Go on then, I will:

For her pleasure?

 

what leather?

These are SIDI Top Action Evo's - they're entirely made from plastic
and metal.

 

I've had the same problem since the leg injury last year.

The inflammation around my knee seemed to gravitate to my foot. I couldn't
fasten the laces on my trainers for about 2 weeks. It seems my foot has not
shrunk back to its original size as a) I had to buy a new pair of wide fit
shoes for my new job and b) I can't get the one pair of Daytona boots on.
Fortunately, I have a 2nd pair of Daytonas acquired for £60 last Spring,
from some idiot who ordered a pair from a .de website. They were too small
for him but are nicely baggy on me.

Perhaps there's a time lag, slow gravity or something. Hmmm, losing 10 lbs,
only wish I could or rather wish I could and it would stay off.

Rusted and ropy.
Dog-eared old copy.
Vintage and classic,
or just plain Jurassic:
all words to describe me.

 

Like a Toblerone.

 

Have you checked down the back of the sofa?

 

very droll.

 

those are TAEFlex boots - mine are the older TAE (non flex) ones. The
shoe part is definitely completely solid, though there's a bit of soft
leather inside at the top.

 

Only in packs of 3.

That's two people who're being sorely tempted.

You make enough for it not to matter.

Do your gloved *know* they're gloves and not boots?
