Super high quality boots, comfortable fit, worth every penny (09.09.2021)

First, let's talk about Daytona: Reinhard and Helmut Frey founded the company in 1957 with the sole purpose of creating the best motorcycle boots possible. And they do. As a life long biker, I've only now tweaked on to Daytona, much to my chagrin. They don't dilute their expertise with other products. Just boots. Period.
Second, fitting: go to the sizing guide and do as they say, draw your feet on a piece of paper (in the afternoon when they've spread out a little) and then chose the corresponding size on their chart. It works.
Third, comfort: man, these are comfortable. Like, right out of the box comfortable. I've been wearing...well, Italian...boots for most of my life and my feet have always...ALWAYS...felt pinched, and Daytona knows how to do toe boxes. My toes are happy now.
Last, quality: superior than anything else on the market. These are sport boots that you can comfortably tour in. Seriously. The inner plastic bootie is a full boot with plastic around the foot, ankle and back with a sturdy plate in the leather outer boot. And as for the outer boot, it's supple but really tough, super high quality leather.
And thanks to FC Moto for the excellent service and prompt responses. Expect some COVID related shipping delay (that's the world we live in now), but otherwise all went perfectly.
Outstanding boots. (17.12.2019)

Having experienced a racing crash in a pair of older Daytona boots, I replaced both my track and road boots with Daytona boots.
These Evo Voltex are my road boots and get used every day, all year round as i only travel by motorcycle with UK traffic. The fit is perfect even though I have fairly wide feet, they are quick to put on and remove due to velcro and zips, and work with thin or thick socks.
Care wise I use Daytona's own products - aqua stop and leather care which brings them up looking like new.
They give a real feeling of security when worn, and although thankfully not crash tested, if the old boots I wore were an=anything to go by, they will prevent damage from all butthe most serious crashes.
The only downside is that after 5 years solid use , the liners are leaking in very heavy rain (think monsoon). This is notthe problem, as Gore Tex has a limited life, but I am having greta difficulty finding the liners (designed to be purchasable separately) for sale anywhere. I am about to try Daytona direct..
If worse came to worse and they have to replaced in-toto would replace with the same.
Summary - 5 years / 60000 miles (100000 km) and just starting to leak. No other problems. Awesome
