Last week my CruiserWorks Men's Touring Boots came back from Resole America in Virginia with not just new soles, but a completely new tread pattern. It
has more depth than the old pattern and I am hoping it is made of more durable material. The previous soles did not last long before they were worn smooth.
Note this are the soles and tread pattern that CruiserWorks is currently selling and for which they authorized Resole America and only Resole America to do any
reconditioning. They are also supposed to come back with a one-year guarentee on the waterproofing. I did ride in the rain today, but not long enough to
fully test my reconditioned CruiserWorks Tour boots.
Has anybody else tried these? If so, how long does this type of tread last.

Alain,
They seems like new, except the leather is broken in.

When your wife is not looking.......go stand in a bathtub full of water to see if they are now water proof.

Good idea Stan. I'll also have to try that with my Roadgear XKJ boots and some Merrill Gore-Tex sneakers after I Nikwax them. Those hi-tech Roadgear
boots are dissappointing me. Besides many other appreciated features that actually do what they are supposed to do, sadly those Roadgear boots are not
waterproof even those they are sold as 'Waterproof'. Bummer. Similarly the Merrill Gore-Tex sneakers I bought from Cabelas were waterproof for a
couple of years, but now my socks get wet when I walk through thick, wet grass. Your idea will put them all to the test. It may take a couple of weeks before
I have the results.

Alain, the only thing worse would be a picture of Fred standing in the shower without his gear on. Bob |
