Bob Pickett reviews Hein Gericke's Cycko Boots

Boots, boots, boots, boots, marching up and down again... The Cycko boots are made from a sturdy feeling leather, with a Sheltex lining to wick the moisture away from the feet. At 22cm tall, they fit under jeans and overtrousers, but will fit over leathers. The boots are secured by means of Velcro side panels, with an additional Velcro strap for extra tightness.

The boots were comfortable from the word go - my feet normally get chewed up when wearing any new footwear, but I have never had a problem with them. The soles are very grippy (essential when you commute into London every day with the attendant grease, diesel etc) and my feet have stayed dry, no matter how heavy the rain

After 11,000 miles they are holding up really well. A piece of Velcro on one of the straps has started to pull away from the leather recently, but otherwise they are in great shape.

Complaints? There is no armour on ankles or shins, but otherwise I really cannot fault these boots.

Verdict:

Great value for money, shame about the lack of armour in impact areas.
