Zip broke as soon as I tried to pull it up
25 March 2025 by Craig
Nice looking boot but quite tight and I went to put them on to go to work in the morning and the zip instantly broke making them unusable and I couldn t mend them
Didn't tested the waterproofing but easy to wear in and out. Really comfortable even for walking (I am pretty familiar to long walks to office). It prevents rotational damage to ankles, which is a must for me on any motorcycle boot. Great price for such quality!
I needed a new pair of boots on a budget so I bought these. I went a size up (normally a 43 so went for a 44) and the size up fits perfectly. My feet feel really well protected but comfortable at the same time. They keep my feet warm, they are easy to walk in, and fully waterproof.
Look the part and feel sturdy, first time buying racing boots but after breaking them in they feel comfy and supportive. No issue keeping my feet dry in awful British weather either! Awesome colour scheme too!
Great quality boot with excellent support. Very stiff at the moment as new but I'd expect them to be. I'm normally a 43 but after reading the reviews I went up a size and ordered 44 and they fit me fine. Great price and superfast shipping!

Good quality
20 November 2024 by Anonymous
Very pleased with the quality of the boot, although being new I am finding them a bit on the stiff side, but I'm sure that will get better with time. Normally find size 8 1/2 suits me, having seen other reviews I ordered these in size 10 and they are fine.
Purchased these boots following the reading of the reviews. I strongly recommend taking the advice of going 1 size up. I am a size 10 but went for an 11 and they are 'snug'. When wearing though they are warm and comfortable, they are a little stiff initially but I am sure they will slacken a bit with more use. Very impressed and will buy again.
Boots arrived by next day post, I had ordered 2 sizes larger than indicated on the size chart and they only just fit with light sock, tight around ankle but this gives a little after wear. Hopefully they will break in but are still a little snug in the toe and they don't do a larger size than 48 even though this equates to a snug UK 12. overall quality is good protection is good and should last well. overall a good purchase!
I bought these boots for track use. Having not used them, my initial impressions are that the seem very well made. They are very stiff and even though I ordered one size larger than I usually wear, they take some effort to put them on and take them off. Once on, they are snug and comfortable. Likewise, the zip takes some effort to pull up or down. I have been putting them on and using the zip to bed them in. This is helping and the zip is getting easier. These boots appear to be comfortable once they are on and are easy to walk in, with adequate room for my feet. From my initial impressions, I would buy again
Excellent price and good quality product. Unable to give a better rating as yet as I haven't actually had a chance to wear them on the bike yet.

Really like these boots
26 July 2023 by Niall M
Good solid, well put together boots that are surprisingly affordable. Had to go up one size, as others have mentioned, they are smaller than expected. The fit is good however. Didn't take long to break these in around the house then straight on to a track day. No issues as yet. Not had them out in the rain yet either. But they are all-day comfy. So I'm really impressed and would recommend

Go 1 or 2 sizes up from your usual. Comfortable, waterproof, and look good in the Black/White. Pleased with my purchase.

Comfort dry
01 March 2023 by Anthony
Yes a good boot specially for price. I do take size 44 but these are 46. Ok with thick socks. Strong boot. I would buy again. Good service from Sportsbikeshop thanks
Only a 4 so far as limited use but first impressions are good. Love the colours, the fit (although I went two sizes up based on prev reviews). Very similar in style/fit to my non-waterproof Sidi Vertigo but over half the price. Look amazing. Keep the water out. Superb from SBS as they changed the colour choice I requested after I ordered and delivered the correct ones next day!
These were a replacement pair for my partner. Previously ordered a different pair but did not meet his requirement of being waterproof (maybe a faulty pair but not sure) However on contacting the company they were more than helpful with their returns and replacement process. New boots arrived and my partner having been caught in many heavy rainfalls and copious amounts of spray off the road he is over the moon with them. Thank you guys great customer service, great pair of boots and would recommend
Richa is a hugely popular brand for all kinds of bike clothing, but its roots lie in glove manufacture. Charles Rigaux started making leather gloves in 1952, four years later his son Julien founded a business in his name and in 1977 Julien's son Luc led their entry into the world of motorcycling. The company offers a vast range of gloves to suit all riders, from entry-level summer and winter gloves all the way up to premium Gore-Tex offerings and high-tech heated gloves. With a value-for-money approach, Richa is one of the most popular brands with Sportsbikeshop customers.
