One of the great additional features to Roadgear's XKJ boots is Outlast, a phase-change material that keeps the rider's feet at a constant temperature, i.e. warm when it is cool outside and warm when it is hot outside. It works great on both hot days and cool days. I have not tried them on a cold day so far.

Mine are like what Stony describes. The best de*****ion I could give them would be to call them gaiters. They slip over the boot with an elastic strap that goes over the sole just in front of the heel of the boot. They sleeve like and come up the leg about 18 inches, well above the top of the boot.

Maybe I'll send my Cruiserworks in every other winter, and take my chances in the un-warranteed year. I'm too cheap to do it every year.
Al, I got a pair of those boot protectors a few years back. There is a little piece of elastic that goes around the arch and material that covers the toe. (I couldn't look at the ones Fred listed from eBay, because they block that site at work.) The boot protectors worked ok, but got worn out... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (stonyrd) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/20077 Wed, 18 Oct 2006 19:57:23 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Roadgear XKJ Boots ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/20076/t/Roadgear-XKJ-Boots.html#reply-20076

I looked into the CrusierWorks boots at Americade this year.

I did 6-7 hours in the rain in September, and my feet were nice and dry.
How long before I can expect my boots to fail? I don't wear mine for walking around very much. I usually have tennis shoes along for when the day's riding is done.

They don't have all the bells and whistles that the Roadgears do, but they have a similar price tag. They are waterproof (many hours of riding in the rain with warm, dry feet will attest to that), and I believe there is Kevlar in the boot material. There are no zippers or reflective material. I'm pretty happy with them, but not as happy as I was before I read your post. Maybe if I put a little safety chrome on the sides I might feel... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (stonyrd) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/20071 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 20:22:33 GMT <![CDATA[ Roadgear XKJ Boots ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/topic/2618/t/Roadgear-XKJ-Boots.html feeds@yuku.com (Fredrider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/topic/2618 Thu, 12 Oct 2006 18:58:01 GMT
