[RC] downside - those orange boots - Dream Weaver - Kevin Myers
Karen,
You’ve hit the nail on the head
here. Without proper fit, experimentation and training on how to use the boots,
riders lose boots. If the boots don’t fit properly or they are poorly
applied, they won’t stay on.
The good news is that with the right fit
and the right application the boots are very reliable. And it’s not
complicated.
I’m more interested in
communicating again and again and again the best way to fit/apply rather than pointing
fingers at boot failure or shortcomings by brand. User training and education is
vital to a successful user experience.
A poorly informed user is a short term
user, and so, in all likelihood, are those around them.

of the user experience)
I think it's pretty safe to say that
riders who use boots will have one (or more) come off from time to time. I have
seen or been at rides where just about everybody riding in every brand of boot
at one time or another has lost one. This is why riders try barefoot then go
back to shoeing.
