When you’re planning an epic off-road adventure through Cape York, there’s one piece of gear that often gets overlooked, your boots. We get it, they still look decent, they fit well, and they’ve been with you through a few good rides. But if they’ve been sitting in the shed for 4+ years? Trust us, they might not survive your first creek crossing. We’ve had a fair few riders show up with old boots they haven’t worn in years. They’re pumped, geared up, ready to ride… until the first splash of water hits. The soles start to peel. Stitching comes apart.
