Verified Customer Reviews for Daytona Road Star Gore-Tex Boots
Not the cheapest but by far the best quality and most comfortable of all the boots I tried at SBS. Go a size smaller as they are a little on the large side and they are 100% waterproof unlike many other "waterproof" boots I have had.
Yes these boots are a hefty investment that might make your eyes water a bit but they are excellent. Super comfortable from the off, beautifully made and a long term reliable investment. Warm, great sole grip, protective and never leak.
These are a great quality boot, however, the gearchange pad is set too far back and after about 2,000 miles riding a hole is starting to appear in front of the rubber strip. Daytona would not replace under warranty but told me to change my riding style. Lets see how long they last. A previous pair of TCX boots lasted ten years and an estimated 40,000 miles, because the pad lines up with the gear change. What a lot of money for a flawed product.
I've been wearing SIDI B2 boots for more than 10 years but as I get older my feet seem to have got wider and the new SIDIs were uncomfortable. So, I bit the bullet and bought these Daytonas and frankly I had very high expectations due to 1) price and 2) reputation. I can't say they're the best looking boot but I can genuinely say that that are really comfortable from the very first wear. Seems impossible for such a structured boot but they are. Great quality, lots of safety features - just make sure you do up the front zip before the side zip !
Expensive boots but you get what you pay for. Waterproof and comfortable can't fault them so far.
Superb goretex boots. These days you get what you pay for and I've always gone by the saying "buy cheap, buy twice". With these Daytona boots you certainly won't need to buy twice, they were comfy and well fitting from the start, extremely well made with strong zippers and non restrictive like some sports boots can be. They don't need breaking in but over a short period of time will mould to your feet to make a great fitting boot a better fit. The only thing I had to do was add a pair of insoles purely to give my funny foot shape a more snug fit. A quality product that is worth the premium price.
Love these boots. Yes they are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Perfect fit nice and snug. Ankles feel very protected and they give me better feel when foot down as I'm a short arse with the slightly thicker sole.
I decided to pay a bit more for the boots, what a great decision I made. So comfortable, I could sleep with them on. Many thanks
I've had many makes of boots in 45yrs of riding and before these had used TCX which I've found excellent, these are 50% dearer so was sceptical but so far have been very impressed with the comfort and fit I did read others have had trouble with the zips and can understand why, I lubed the zipper which helped a bit, but the zip puller needs to be bigger or have a tag to help grip it better as it needs a good tug to get it started but once round the "bend" it's fine, they are very well made and I can see them lasting probably longer than my riding career if looked after correctly so probably the last boots I'll ever buy haha
Well, the reviews were right!! A vast improvement on some Dainese Goretex boots I bought years ago when my previous pair lost one sole when I visited a bikeshop. The Dainese weren't bad (or I'd have replaced before now), but these are just SO much more comfortable. My feet feel much more secure and no breaking-in required at all - a rarity... Thoroughly recommend and they ARE worth the extra.
These boots are comfortable to walk in the Stiff from the bridge of the foot to the ankle at the front , because I don't wear long socks with my boots the stitching rubs on my shin a little the outside zip is little bit of fiddling to zip up You have to get the angle of your foot to your leg right for the zip to zip up properly and easily but having said that I do feel a very good boy may have to adjust the gear lever slightly because of the what is the stiffness of the boot not a full rotation of the foot
No need to wear in, these boots have subtle leather and were very comfortable from their first use.
Just back from hot weather tour in Spain and torrential rain in UK. No leaks, no sweat in either climate extreme. The Double zips makes it easy to get the boots on and off, and you can see the quality of the manufacturing going into their production.
I usually don't learn from the 'buy cheap buy twice' meme. I don't particularly like the look of the boots, and they are so expensive but... they are the best. Why? So, so comfortable, completely dry in any conditions, allow full days in torrential rain without a second thought. And there you have the reason fo this purchase.... you never have to think about them again. They just work, always, I just concentrate on the ride. I know of others who have had them for 20 years... they're gonna last a long time, probably longer than me. Recommended.
With out doubt the best boots I have ever had. The description was excellent & they fit like a glove. I am UK44 & I bought that size, they fit perfectly & are very comfortable when walking & riding. After much deliberation over the expensive price tag I am very pleased to have bought a pair off boots I feel will last years. SBS delivered them the next day, great service.
These are quite expensive boots, but I have no regrets about spending double what my last boots cost. The zips are sturdy and long so the boots are easy to get on. They were initially quite uncomfortable on the sides of the ankle, but have sorted themselves out now. And obviously they were delivered really really quickly.
Quality product. Super comfortable. I can't comment on dryness at the moment but it's goretex, so I really don't think there's much to fear!
Great SBS experience as always. Staff were very polite and helpful.
This is the second pair of these boots I've bought after the first pair wore out a few years ago. I tried different boots from other manufacturers but they're not a patch on these which are comfortable straight out of the box. The boots have good adjustment for your calfs, warm enough in winter with a decent pair of socks and comfortable to walk around in while in a tour. The boots are well made and completely waterproof and even polish up well. I won't bother trying other brands when these do wear out!
