I have some new sidi zero boots and they are not water proof at all .walking in ankle deep streams lets water in straight away,is this normal or could they be faulty ? The old gaernes seamed a lot better.

was looking to get some sidi boots as the mx ones I use are very good boots, might go for the gaerne

Not everyone seems to like them,but Sealskin socks do the trick if you want dry feet.... None of my trials boots have been waterproof.

I have Gearne and AlpineStar trial boots and both are waterproof when new...

Would say all boots are waterresistant either than proofed.

no boots are water proof.

Wellies are!...used to ride in NBC wellies when I started in the late 70's

if you can wade through a river without your feet getting wet I would call them waterproof

Aaah the good old National Board Coal wellies ! I would rather have wet feet personally. Only water proof till the foot pegs ate the instep and they leaked through there.
