We’ve seen some pretty horrific trainer induced feet injuries over the years despite knowing that wearing trainers on the bike is a no-no. However lugging a pair of full length protective boots on your paws all day can be a right pain. If you’re nipping to the shop or want something more comfortable cool and lightweight to stick on your feet then you could look at investing in some armored shorty boots.
The guys at Weise have sent a pair of their Urban Boots and with an RRP of just £69 they are worth a look. They have a waterproof breathable lining and feature a shank in the sole to offer some rigid support. The toe and heel are reinforced to give some protection in those key areas and the trusty laces are a reliable quick fix touch too.
Overall they fit snug and the soul feels soft and springing to walk on but still manages to hold up against the trusty ‘see if you can bend them in half’ safety test.
More importantly have you ever bought a pair of boots that came with their own cleaning kit? No? Well despair not, the Urban boot comes with a little pouch stuffed full with polish, brushes and cloths to keep your new clogs clean, a really nice touch!
