I know its only a picture, but they don't look that special.

I only live a mile and a half from GLF Factors (dealer for MJK Leathers, daytona boots, Held gloves etc).

The only thing I can afford is the Held gloves, but I've looked over the daytona boots while I've been there.

They've basically got a Kevlar type inner boot which is very strong and ergonomically designed to stop your ankle getting twisted round. The outer boots are 'just' a kangaroo skin covering. They're expensive, but apparently, they're almost completely rebuildable, so they can be resoled, have new uppers, new inners etc without having to replace the pair
