After years of riding in short boots and chaps I've bought some long boots, mostly for competition.
They are Just Toggs Kensington which have false laces at the front.
Today I rode in them, basically to make sure they felt comfy, and gave them a quick splash with the hosepipe to get the dust off and immediately my feet were wet!
There is a bit of leather material underneath the laces but they are not stitched all the way around and there are big gaps into the actual foot (difficult to explain but hopefully this makes some sense).
Is this normal as there is no way they are going to be waterproof when it rains and I am wondering whether I can actually send them back now that they have been worn.
