W2 boot wearers?
W2 boot wearers?
I am going to treat myself to some W2s but was wondering what the fit was like? I have done a search on here and have gleaned that ample calfs are out, they might not be totally waterproof etc, etc but is a 9 a snug 9 in which case a 10 would be better with the sealskinz I tend to wear? I am going to order on line as I can get a discount and the only time I go into a shop is to actually buy something. Ta muchly

I just got some hg trg ons that look similar and I'd go for larger. With those clip on motor style boots they don't give much room for my chunky calves
Re: W2 boot wearers?
Not sure if this will help but im a size 8 in most shoes but found the 9 in the W2s to be more comfy. I tend to wear a moderately thick sock never had any water enter into the boots.

I'm 42 but a 43 in W2 is perfect, found them waterproof all winter, they are snug around the calf, warm, comfy..

I went for a 1/2 size up for warm socks and they are fine. nor have they let in water yet but
I don't often go wading in them. Good gripping soles for the ice and snow.

I wear the w2's and normally a 10 but needed to go to a 11 and they are a good fit. A pal also says he had to go up a size.
Good choice of boot.

Re: W2 boot wearers?
Going against the grain here maybe but I'm a 44 and the W2"s are a 44 had them for 9months now and still like them.
Finally back on a GS
Re: W2 boot wearers?
Hiya.
I bought some W2s after seeing a recomendation on here some time ago. I'm a size 10 and on all my previous FT boots needed a size 12. Tried a size 11 W2 but it was too snug so I swapped for a size 12. They are really comfy, easy & quick to get on and off, they're very waterproof (wading through streams prior to riding through) and unusually for a m/cycle boot, I feel I could wear them to walk around in all day.
Go for it, they're great.

Good boots, I take a size 9 with most footwear but after trying the W2 boots on at NEC it was a 10 i went for. Comfy fit, warm, easy to walk around in and comfy on the bike. Ok they dont have all the protection like most off road boots, But i think these will make great adventure riding boots. All the sraps/buckles are fully adjustable to get a comfy fit, there can also be replaced if damaged.
Cheers Dave.

Thanks for all the input folks, exactly what this forum is about. B) I am picking some up at the Ace tomorrow in size 10 to allow for my sealskinz. Ta muchly.
