More about this item

Started with the original RDT 180mm flat cotton lace, after 4 months they were suffering from speed-hook bites and one broke, then shortly after the 2nd went. Replaced with a new find, Senkels (from Austria) calf leather laces, stitched round a polyamide core. Reminiscent of James B Young’s stitched Kangaroo laces, but a closer and a bit less pricy. They look good to me and have performed excellently!

Multiple reasons (not in order of priority!): 1. Munson last, always a winner - comfortable & known sizing (with RDT) so a sure bet for 6 months wear. 2. I’ve got the 6” RDT Roots in Black, but the Brown and 8.5” were on my grail list! The extra height is a real winner, with my lumpy/bony ankles. 3. Serendipity - RDT via the Boot Shop had availability about 6 months before the Patina Thunderdome start - so the boots would arrive in good time for the competition. 4. Budget and family approval were gained 😉 5. The Boots needed to work for office, “occasions”, leisure (including the a bit mild hiking in the alps) in order to maximise use in the 6 month competition period, again the RDT Roots covered all points. 6. The only period of non-use was a week in Tenerife mountain biking on Teide (volcano) - when luggage constraints and limited use excluded them from the packing list

How did you determine your size?

Sized in Person

I’ve several pairs of boots on the Munson last and specifically have a similar pair from RDT - so last and sizing both a “known” factor and a significant factor in choosing these boots for the ‘Dome!

Already own several pairs on the Munson last - including other RDT boots, so sizing and last a “known” factor

Availability and timing was ideal for ordering in time for the dome. I’d had set up a notification for when these boots and leather/colour became available and the notification was luckily timed perfectly for the 2023/2024 Dome.
