New Boots

[Nortoon_imp]

Actually Alpinestars WP Roam Boots are tall.
The reason I bought them was to keep the cold wind off my shins.
Keeps the rain off as well.

The boots shown by Nortoon are almost identical to the boots I have, except mine are nine years old and have inside zippers with Velcro flaps.
In spite of having been zipped and unzipped hundreds of times, the zippers are still in perfect condition, but I take care not to abuse them in the process.
Tall boots for me every time.

In the old days of wooden windows you could buy a stick of window wax to make them slide easier. It also worked well on sticky zippers. But those days are gone. Now I use silicon grease to do the same thing. It dries, but the zipper stays slippery.

Which reminds me. I have to treat the rubber seal on my Shoei helmet with the miniscule vile of silicon oil that with it. Given the size of the vile, I guess they don't expect you keep this expensive helmet long.
