Relatively new sports orientated boot. Newish = little or no reviews to be found, and seeing as the name hasnt really a great rep for quality, i said id post a little something incase anyone is boot hunting..

Falling under the 'bonedry' label, althought i doubt they will live up to this title but anyways, the boots come with all the bells n' whistles of a proper race boot. Tpu shin guard,sliders,flex panels,anti crush,anti twist etc.. Hipora lined, inside zip and velcro flap jobbie. Come in white,blue,red and black. Have had these a wee while and they are quite comfy. The build quality is good, and sure i'll update this in a few weeks if they do decide to fall apart. The nicest thing is seeing as money's as tight as a mouses arsehole for most lately, at around the €90 mark they seemed quite good value. By all means if youve got double this go for sidi's or the likes but for someone looking for a comfy,protective,wallet friendly boot they seem the job. Plus theyr'e not bad looking either!

I'm picking up a pair of these too this week, I hope they live up to the "Bone Dry" bit or I'll have to put back on the Touring boots. Actually what are the Toe Sliders like ?

Binx got me a pair of these for Christmas (in black) and I haven't taken them off since! They're so comfy, so warm and so dry in the wettest of weather. Best boots I've had so far. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up from me!!

They're the job alright and thats nearly a year with them now One or two cracks now in the outer covering of the flexi areas but yet to let any water in.

Interesting, I am in need of new boots that don't break the bank. Where'd you get them at this price?

Binx got mine from Derek in Dog's Box...he supplies them. I know of a few other lads got them there too....

Just a wee update on this.....Bone Dry...they certainly are NOT! They were ok for the first few times I wore them in the rain, but little by little, they turned into size 10 teabags!! They are warm, they are comfortable...but they are NOT waterproof or even water resistant. I have a pair of Forma F1 boots that I bought in Spain about three years ago (summer boots) and they keep the water out better. I have to use these all the time now.

Be warned, if you expect Oxford Bone Dry to keep your feet dry...they won't. You'd be better off saving a bit extra and buying a pair of Alpinestars SMX-4 or SMX-5. I know for a fact these WILL keep your tootsies dry!

A lot of UK bikers swear by these guys for quality boots. If I ever wear out my Meindl boots, these guys will be next on my list.

Well my pair let fcuk all in tbh over the past year and I commute in them most days plus other journeys rain or shine. Never expected them to be 'Bone Dry' when I got them for 90 yoyo's. They did the job for a year and a bit but other day the sole went fcuked on the left one so new boots time.

You got off light so and must have gotten a lucky pair. Although, I suppose it doesn't help that the toe-sliders are worn to f**k but I don't see how that would compromise the "water-proofness" if there is such a word. I suppose it's the time of year to be sorting out warm, dry gear....we're in for a long, wet winter. BRRRRRR.

Picked up a pair of Gortex TCX boots in Cotters last year and still snug as bug in rug.

Yeah, used to have a pair of them before they were "TCX", they're good boots.
