    Never seen road riding boots in that bad a condition on the fronts, (except for sliding down the tarmac after an OFF) have had my SIDI&apos;s over 30 years and there is no damage in the frontal and upper areas, also treat your helmet with kid gloves and great care it is the most important bit of kit a biker has. been riding 46 years. Great content

    For 40 years of riding motorcycles i have never seen heavy marking on the front of the boots, you will need to move your feet back &nbsp;to the ball of your feet and you will not drag you boot on the road or you will go through so many boots over the years hope you are rich also with your gear they have 12 months warranty please return them so the manufacture of the gear knows of this problem and they have to replace them under consumer law.

    Hi Andy and Claire, great review video and a breath of fresh air after the ones you read from people who haven’t even opened the box! WTF?! Also, it wasn’t a mistake to film your riding career from the start- it was brave and incredibly valuable. How many people do you think have gone through Claire’s journey and got to a point where they don’t like it but they don’t think they can stop? They can now, Claire gave them permission. No BS, that saves lives- well done!

    Great video thank you Andrew and Claire. &nbsp;This is just the content we all need to find out how good gear is and how long it lasts in real world conditions. &nbsp;👍

    I&apos;m terrible, I have so much gear that nothing gets worn in! I&apos;m constantly buying stuff I don&apos;t need because it looks nice!!! I have issues!
