Bootmakers Roadrunner Design Notes
It has been almost six years since I had designed a new motorcycle boot - so in 2009 I started to develop a new prototype. There were three areas which I wanted to improve...
Foot Entry	I wanted to make it possible for a wider range of foot types to get the boot on and off more easily but still keep the boot secure on the foot once it was on.
Leg adjustment	I wanted an adjustable leg that could be more easily adapted to a wider range of calf sizes.
Durability of the gear change patch	We had always used leather but I decided to invest in moulds to make our own rubber gear change reinforcement.
I had my first prototype ready within six months but it took me a further eighteen months before I was happy enough to go into production. I've been wearing my first prototype Roadrunners on my bike (BMW R100R Mystic) since Feb 2010 and I think it achieves what I set out to do.
