 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have always has less flexibility in the big toe of my left foot than my right. These days, it won't bend back far at all, which makes it a little difficult to get the boot on in the morning (and off again at night).
Can anyone recommend any brands / models of boots which are easy(er) to get into, please?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Get a 'walk to ride' boot so you can unlock the cuff & pivot it rearwards to open up the entry angle prior to putting your foot in.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks.
I had though that the rear-entry boots sounded like they might suit me. Only one pair of 92s on Ebay at the mo' (and they'd probably be a bit large), but there are some SX65s and HTC 73s, which also look rear-entry (any idea whether they're any good?). The former are women's boots (though I have known a pair of women's walking boots to fit me better than the equivalent men's pair, before now). Might be worth the risk, as they're both priced at about what a week's boot hire would cost.
I hadn't been thinking of of the unlockable cuffs as being an aid to get into the boots, but makes sense. And those 2-piece boots look very interesting (though unfortunately they might be a little expensive to get before my trip at the end of the month).

The main issue with women's boots is they tend to be shorter than equivalent size in men's. Reason is that women's calf muscle is a different shape to men's.
