I've seen these on the web & thinking of getting a pair. Being vertically challenged I'm mindful that extra inch may help me esp waiting in traffic etc.

Not found anywhere local to try them on for size & looks as though best way to get them a bit cheaper is either ordering from Germany or keeping a look out on flea - bay.

Just wondering if any one owns a pair of these & can give me an ideal whether to go with normal shoe size or do they come in smaller or larger - hope you get what I mean???? :-/

Like I said love to hear your thoughts on em...............Thanx for your time :)

I just bought a pair on fleabay as I'm struggling to get all the mm I can at the mo (oi oi!) :-? I'm told they come up big so am getting mine in a size smaller than I am (I'm usually a 5 and bought a 4) I'm 5ft 4 with a 29 inch leg and am struggling to get both my feet on the floor on anything.
I'll let you know how they are in a few days when the postie brings them ;D

Di, I wear Ladystars (Thanks to Star for finding them on ebay [smiley=thumbsup.gif] ) They are brilliant, mine are a 37(size4) and I'm a size 4 and the fit me perfectly.
The woman I bought them from was a size 5 and she said they fitted her ok too.

I have two pairs (one for road, one for track) and I love them so much. If it wasn't for my boots I certainly wouldn't be riding the Street Triple as it just gives me that bit of confidence having that bit more height and also good piece of mind knowing they are a top quality boot. I have worn mine in torrential rain too and they survived to tell the tale :)

I wouldn't change them for the world. I have done quite a few long journeys with them and my feet never ache or hurt. They are expensive but its for a reason. Keep an eye out on ebay - there are a lot of lady bikers/pillions who sadly only wear them once or twice and then don't carry on with biking/pillioning (is there such a word?!?)....their loss, your gain!!!

A pair of thick socks should sort you out if they are a little bit big - and if you find them much too big, they should be quite easy to sell on again :) :)

Bloody brilliant boots. 10/10 ! :) :) :)

Thanks Star, appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts....................sounds a fab investment not only to gain an inch but for safety too! Be a bonus too if I manage to pick up some previously loved ones off flea bay.

Great to know they resell well if thick socks don't do the trick!

Cheers

My feet tend to freeze for 10 months of the year anyway so its thick socks most of the time for me! (tip - try Heat Holders - they are the best thermal socks I have ever worn!) You can get them from Sports Direct or online pretty cheaply. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ladies-SockShop-Heat-Holders-Dark/dp/B002RSII84

What size are you after? I managed to find some for Charley X and for Jacde (I have an eye for a bargain and like to help where I can!)

It's money well spent for an extra inch or so ;) ha ha

Di, I read loads online before buying mine, this post convinced me I'd benefit from the small increase in height! http://www.riderforums.com/riding-gear/54263-daytona-ladystar-gtx-boots-worth-money.html

Yep they arrived today, gotta agree they're fab, the extra height can only lift my confidence & sooooooooooooo comfy too.

Hope to see you & the rest of WB very soon, fingers crossed I'm aiming to join you all on the ride out on 13th May to Lyme Regis. You'll defo recognise me as the newbie novice in awe of you all & keeping the back marker company!!! lol

Thanks again.
