Furygan Caprino D30 Sympatek boots Used for: 19 months Price: £182.99 Info: furygan.com As soon as you li‚ these boots from the box you can feel the quality – it’s the smell of the leather and the hand stitched soles. Slip a foot inside and you instantly feel the D30 protection hugging the boney lumps on the sides of your ankles. The reinforcem­ents in the heel and toe sections make you feel ready for action. On a bike they are comfortabl­e and there are no problems feeling the controls, but they do take time to mould to your feet. And they’re waterproof too, thanks to the Sympatex membrane. Despite an annoying squeak from the right boot I loved them so o‰ treat much the for bike I took walking too. to They wearing the worked dog, them light a gardening and even for a night out at the pub quiz. Sadly, as the picture shows, they wore down surprising­ly quickly, especially for a pair of boots costing £180. I’m o‰ down to Timpsons to see if I can get them resoled. Maybe they can Œx the squeak too. Paul Lang
