I really like my Stylemartin Indian boots. Once I got a proper pair of boots (TCX S-Speed) they mainly got resigned to casual wear. However, relative to non-technical boots they still have good protection.
They wear on the large size.

Large in general or in a specific area? I have the issue that I should be a 43.5, as size 9 in every boot is too small on the toes but size 10 can be too baggy or too tight. Generally it’s the toe box/width I need rather than any length.
In other news, I jacked up the GN125 with a set of used Hagons in 350mm today (spec was 310-320mm) with quite stiff springs. Along with new forks and tyres that the mechanic fitted a week or so ago, riding is much nicer. Put over 100 careful/urban miles in the tyres before trying some real cornering in the dry today. New forks could do with more/harder oil for less sloppy response but generally improved.
One intermittent issue I can’t get rid of is the bike stalling when I slow/stop fast. For example in traffic, or coming to park onto the driveway, usually when I pull the clutch and coast the last few feet.
Revs drop fast below idle point and bike can die. Apart from longer stops in traffic, returning to constant throttle twitching to push revs up and avoid anything under 2k.
Clutch cable is pretty tight, battery is new and after riding remains over 13V, spark plug is new as the battery (3 months) is dry and not sooty or anything, gasket between carb and engine is new, carb had been cleaned, and only V-Power (99 Octane) fuel and occasional Redex in the tank. Idle is set to about 1.5k - stock on timing screw and slightly more open on throttle stopper. Running out of ideas apart from rudeboy revving.

Looking for an extra set of boots/shoes as my main ‘waterproof’ pair were saturated after 4 hours of training in the rain yesterday.
Came across these. New with defects? Bargain.
