It's 4-5 years later and I'm still using these boots!
They have seen better days and the toes have small holes in them from the constant battering of the UK paddocks.
I think i'll splash out in 2019 on a new pair.. *Runs off to see if they are still available*

This is on my shopping list!

Any update on the on-track performance of these?

These are definitely a strong boot. I would say they are slightly less comfortable than my previous Alpine Stars Tech 1K but are far more durable. After one season the Alpine Stars boots were looking very second hand. These on the other hand are showing no signs of wear/damage or staining.

Totally agree, as soon as your ribs start to hurt/bruise, you are just going to go slower.
You end up tightening up in the kart to try and stop the pain, instead of trying to stay on the pace!
I have found myself on more than one occasion running back to the awning to pick up my rib protector if it has been forgotten, even if it means I am pretty out of breath by the time i get back to the kart with only seconds to spare! It really does make a huge difference.
Also, once your ribs are bruised, you are usually looking at 3 months of discomfort. No amount of seat padding can get you back to your full potential.

Also, the lace thing never really caused any issues over the years. That was just me being anal in the review!
