I’ll just throw it in washing machine with gentle cycle and then line dry not under hot sun.

But that’s me. If it disintegrates then I have excuse to buy new ones.

Was wondering do I need riding boots, now sudah convert from scooter to motor...then bought Falco Gordon 2 leather with goodyear welt soles.

Such nice boots, made in italy, waxed laces, comes with individual dust bag (for whatever reasons) and stiching seems to be of high quality.

paling penting, side zip, waterproof, light, comfortable for office use (CE 1221)

eh, should be waterproof
could the product you applied to the boots ruined the membrane?

tarak warranty ke?
how bad does the leather look now, can share pic?

Even WP boots will eventually leak. All of my "WP"  boots leak after a few months to a year.
My daily non WP mid cut leather work boots actually do pretty well. Just have to treat them every so often and make sure the seams/stictched area are waxed. They are not WP and no WP liner, so water will still get through the zips (no gusset) if you spash yourself running through a big puddle.

For what's it worth, unless you are going for multiday, multi hour touring, I prefer non WP  full leather boots. They dry up much easier than WP boots if you do get them wet and they are less stuffy.

What pants were u wearing when it rained? Waterproof boots will only be effective if ur wearing waterproof, over the boot pants as water can still get in the top. N the pants will need to go low enough so that even if its flapping in the wind, the top of the boot wont be exposed....so the boot also needs to go high enough lol

Learned this the hard way n still suffering the consequences years later.

most ppl never needed it, so I don't wear
after I crashed, I wished I had them on

2 points to note:
- dress for the slide, and
- hope we never need the protection

I wouldnt recommend them now...what a letdown, once in a 40 minute medium-light, and today in a 40 minutes light rain...CE WP rated shoes masuk air, walaupun baru oil it up.

The thoughts of going into office with dry kaki is now another dream...not to mention how quick the leather turns rustic..like vintage worn out despite being a months old...shouyld have just pakai Crocs saja...
