Graham: Klim Outlander Boots Review Perfect for Larger Calves and Versatile Use

If you have larger calves like me, finding the right boots can be a challenge. Short boots are usually my go-to, and after trying many, I found the Klim Outlander to be a great fit. Not only do they accommodate my calf size comfortably, but they also shine when Im off the biketheyre genuinely comfortable for walking around. Ive taken these boots on a 3-month tour across the US and multiple trips across Europe over the past few years. Theyve stood up well to all kinds of terrain and weather, making them a reliable companion. The only downside? Because they are so comfortable and durable, Ive already worn through two pairs and am now on my third! If youre in the market for boots that combine a good fit for larger calves with great off-bike usability, the Klim Outlander is definitely worth considering.

Sam__S: Brilliant!

Superb quality from Daytona, as always. Now, due to the inbuilt heel lift, even with my 29.5 inseam I can get both feet flat on my Tiger Sport 800. A real confidence booster.

Neil Robinson: Superb boot in its class

Before watching MotorLegends review on YT I had no knowledge of this Italian manufacturer Stylmartin. From my further research they have a long heritage of boot making and a high reputation. Having ridden around 2000 miles on a dozen or so rides mostly in wintery weather on all sorts of road conditions, I can highly recommend the Vertigo boot. The high-level of quality materials and construction is obvious. Features I especially like are 1. Very comfortable and secure feeling fit on and off the bike from right out of the box. Im a 10 12 inches shoe size and ordered the 46 EU size. With either thick woollen socks or thinner they really are a lovely fit. 2. The lacing arrangement and sturdy smooth eyelets with sufficient flex at the boot neck allows them to be put on and off quickly and at ease. The laces are not over long, avoiding double bow tying. You even get two sets - the redblack tone fitted and straight black ones in the box. Take your choice! 2. Exceptional good grip on all kinds of surfaces. 3. Ive been out in prolonged very wet weather and so far the boots have proved their waterproof specification to be true. But note these are ankle length boots and I always wear my bike trousers and jeans over the top. 4. Love the styling and for me they suit the look on my 2002 Triumph Thunderbird 900 classic as well as on my Guzzi Mondello sports tourer. 5. Im onto my second pair of the excellent Klim Outlander boot after c.50k miles and can sincerely say the Vertigo is on par with them on all fronts and around £100 cheaper! Walking wise the Stylmartin dont look like a traditional biking boot. Whether they will have the same great durability as the Klims only time and mileage will tell but Im confident from the boots quality they will serve me for quite a few years. One thing to note these are mainly made from leather so to look after them it should go without saying really but youll need to properly maintain in accordance with the manufacturers instructions like any other leather boot. Especially treating road salt stains. Expensive yes but well worth the money.
