I just bought a shiny new pair of Oxtar boots at the scottish bike show,a couple of sizes too big to allow them to zip up properly-with a bit of room to allow for my leathers.
Alas,I find they still wont close properly at the top,I,m finding this a bit of a common problem with sports boots, some makes wont even zip over my anklebone let alone my leg.
Now, before any of you start about pie eating,I'm a fairly average 34 ish waist size,and I've had a pair of the overpriced ghastly smx+'s for the last couple of years,not because I like the tacky "cylon warrior" styling but rather I could get them on properly.
How do you more generously proportioned guys manage?,Ive found some makes easier than others,but Ive always thought of myself as an average size.
Having managed to smear the toe sliders of two previous pairs of boots I'm reluctant to go for a more touring style,losing weight is easy for me but will mean only replacing leathers as the ankle remains the same size.
Has anyone else here got the same problem? and if so how did you get round it?
:P
