Richa Adventure Waterproof Boots - Black

I bought these as a direct replacement for my old Richa Adventure boots, Which finally gave up the ghost after many many years of use. Always comfortable and never let the rain or water in so a no brainer when I saw the same boots were still available.

I'm normally between a 9-10 for boots so figured a 10 was a safe bet (especially for wet/cold weather and needing thicker socks!).

These were a real struggle to get on at first - I genuinely thought I'd have to send them back but persevered on the suspicion they just needed a bit of a wear-in.

Lo and behold, keeping them on for an hour and a jiffy around on the "last day of summer" these now slip on and off without issue.

These are still a stiff wear - I'm hoping with more time they'll get a bit more pliable as they're tough to feel against the gear lever.

These boots are a good buy, sturdy solid boot with good sole. Very comfortable but would size up as suggested in other reviews. Altogether a good buy and value for money?

I commute in all weather's and need waterproof boots. These work. They are also comfortable and warm. Good value.

Good right out of the box, I have not warn in the rain yet so can't confirm if they are waterproof. Very good support, easy to put on and fit well. Size is good I ordered a 10, I am a 10 so fitting well. They will only get better the more I use then.

The gear lever misses the rubber toe pad so the leather gets scuffed up.
No tab on the back of the boot to help pull them on.
Not anti slip.
Warm. Dry. Provide a good standing platform due to the hard soles.
The leather upper I between the buckles doesn't overlap the inner tounge.

The appearance is really spectacular, it's a good option for trail bike

Fantastic service from SportsBikeShop. These boots were comfortable for me straight out of the box. They've kept my feet warm and dry so far, and have been tested on a wet ride!
I went slightly down on sizing compared to my regular shoes. The snap locks and Velcro hug my legs well. A bigger adjustment range on the snap locks would be nice, but that's only a minor point.
I'm still getting used to the boots, but I'm very happy so far.

Got these end of January, used on average 4 times a week for at least 2h per day and overall very happy but there are a couple of silly issues

they are the warmest boots I've had (an hour at 0c with thin winter socks before my toes where getting numb) they have not leaked after hours in heavy rain or even off-road going through puddles. They are fine to walk in, not much worse then Normal boots honestly but They do not have amazing ankle protection for off-road and no squish protection but the bottom of the boot is very stiff and gives me confidence that if I smash my foot into something off-road I won't bend my toes backwards.

Now the silly faults

The insoles are coming apart in the left boot, not the end of the world but very annoying.

Screws in the clasping mechanism are rusting already

Not really an issue with the boot but there is damage on the leather at the front of the boot presumably from road road debris and small rocks, I can't remember anything hitting my feet. Once again not really an issue with the boot but I wish it was more durable

Have used them in rain and snow. They keep your feet warm and have plenty of grip for loose surfaces. They take a bit of getting used to as the toes are bulkier than touring boots and they are a bit stiff when you first use them. Couldn't do without them in the winter.

Good winter boots waterproof so far. Fit well

Had to go a size up in these but a great value for money boot. Excellent service from Sportsbikeshop as usual. Happy.

They're comfy enough but they're trying to be alpine stars but on a budget and they just don't cut it.

I bought these boots in preparation for a 4 day riding tour, with rain expected. The weather did not disappoint, it rain everyday and often for very heavy, prolonged periods.
No damp or cold got past the boots! They truly lived up to their description. In addition to being the easiest boots I've owned to put on and take off. I did a fair amount of walking about at venues and they were comfortable and robust. Absolutely excellent and at a good price too!

These boots are comfortable from the first time you put them on even though the leather feels quite stiff. This gives confidence in the protection they would provide. The calves are more than big enough even for my cyclist's calves. The Velcro fastening allows plenty of adjustment, better than a zip. I haven't tried them in heavy rain yet so can't comment on the waterproofing.
