I went for the cycko2 boot, £99. Its a nice boot , fits me Ok , comfy for walking for the distance I go in them. My last pair have done 8 euro tours, but were wearing out from toes touching tarmac, and a slight wear hole had appeared in the leather at a crease point, and they leaked like a sieve......I can fit into race boots, but often my leg swells during the day where my bone was broken, and it wont go back on if I take my boot off ! Thats scary if you have to ride any further ! Sometimes my ankle will swell up to 1" in circumference, so this sort of boot means I can always get them back on.I have tried race boots up to size 12 but little diffrence in ankle provision.
Oddly it used to be the calf muscle which was the problem,as many race boots are made for waif like such ... but its now the ankle joint itself !
