Helstons Liberty boots in black

The Helstons Liberty boot sits somewhere between a trainer-style boot and a more robust work-style boot. The boot is made entirely from leather and, for added comfort, is calfskin lined. All this makes it a supremely comfortable boot both to walk around in, and to ride in.  Between the two layers of calfskin there's a waterproof membrane.  Of course, a short boot like this is never going to be as waterproof as a tall one, for obvious reasons. There's a tough counter in the heel, and you get a hugely strong toe box. You get soft, energy-absorbing protectors in the ankles and an extra layer of leather on the toe for the gearchange. The sole is white and flat. This give the boot a particularly cool aspect, but the benefit of the flat, slightly wedged sole is that it works really well on the bike, allowing you to move your feet along the pegs without a heel getting in the way.
