hoggle Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Best idea is to go to your local Bike dealer and try on the various selection, i have the oiled Gaerne Boots, though my legs are like Pipe cleaners so i can't help you there !

slapshot 3 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Alpinestars are pretty adjustable and go to a good width. Get a pair of sealskins as well cos they leak like a sieve but they are the comfiest boots I've ever worn. DON'T BUY WHITE ONES... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) Walking boots maybe I should get a pair the way I rode on Sunday Seriously though got pretty big calfs myself currently got a pair of SIDI and DIADORA, but as hoggle said get yourself to a dealer and try a few pairs on.

rdchair Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Diadora stone 3. I have a fat right calf (due to an ice hockey injury) and a not so small left one. these boots fit both great and are very comfortable. at 120 pounds (much internet searching and haggling) very good value.

rdchair Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Played netminder for England recreational team. Not a brilliant standard but still an honour to represent country at any level. Broke ankle (6places and torn ligaments ) on crutches for 6 months! That was learning to sKate so on my return I was stuck in goal! Was asked to play for Wasps ( as you know? the team in the 80's) but knew I would be on the bench and it would have meant stopping the rec hockey. Best game was at Livingstone, 4-1 down and as we had 3 netminders, I went on for the last period, we won 5-4 and I picked up man of the match for 1 period played! Good days and lots of stories! retired at 30 and took up trials! Did / do you play Edited November 11, 2008 by RDCHAIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
