Best Budget Boots For Touring - Gadsyll Tourer Boots Review

It’s been a year and a half using or even abusing these Gadsyll Tourer boots and here’s my review on it.

Until last year I was using the RE Huntsman boots for over 4 years for touring. The only downside to it was it wasn’t waterproof. So every every rain and water crossing, I had to use a shoe cover.

When I started riding the off road track more often, I decided to get a waterproof boot. I got the Gadsyll G star 11 tourer boots and it’s been great.

Pros of Gadsyll Tourer Boots

1. Durability

These boots are highly durable. These are meant to be used for touring but I use it for my dirt track practice sessions like a motocross boot.

It has endured many hours of abuse on the track. I used it for my entire Ladakh and Kashmir trip as well. It hasn’t suffered any damage yet.

Few times during track practice, the bike has fallen on top of my foot and yet my feet has remained safe.

2. Water resistance

These boots are perfect in keeping your feet dry. Many times after track practice, there’ll be a lot of mud stuck to the boot and bike.

Those days after practice, I go straight from the track to a car wash and pressure wash the bike and the boots while I’m wearing them and no water gets inside. Once on the way back from Ooty when it rained for hours, it never allowed water to seep in.

The only time water got in was during a water crossing in Ladakh where I had to put my foot down in the middle of a water crossing and the water level was above the opening. The water seeped in from above. That’s the only time the insides of the boot have got wet.

3. Comfort

These boots fit perfectly and the sole is very soft and comfortable. You can’t walk around in these boots as with any riding boot but while riding they are very comfortable.

4. Cost

They are very affordable. A pair costs around 8k INR. That’s a bang for your buck given the supreme quality.

Cons of Gadsyll Tourer Boots

I have not so far noticed any cons to this boot. It’s not a stiff and purpose built one like a typical motocross boot but for what its worth, it does its job perfectly well.

I’m very happy with these boots after 1 year of usage so much so that I got a pair of smaller ones, the G star 9, for my city commute as well. Get your here! – Gadsyll G Star Tourer
