Diadora Stone3 Boots


Bought a pair of Diadora Stone 3 boots just before christmas, they are supposed to be waterproof, utter crepe

after an hours riding they were full of water, to the point that when you stood and rocked to and fro on your feet the water was pumping in and out of the stitching holes round the sole welt

If it wasnt for my neoprene socks I would have been bloody freezing

I will be taking them back to a well known outlet in exeter shortly, if they dont exchange them I will be letting you all know

But beware DIADORA STONE 3 are worse than HEBO Eco 2 boots and that is saying something

These were advertised as waterproof and at best part of £200 you would half expect them to do what they say on the box

Total rubbish, one ford and a couple of wettish lanes and they were soaking, trainers would not have got as wet as quickly as these things did, and when you see the water oozing in and out of the stitching holes!!!!!!

Tim, Beware - they're not advertised as waterproof.
After reading the adverts it's only the inner sock that comes with the boots that's said to be waterproof:-
"Waterproof & breathable, removable inner sock"

There have been a stack of complaints shown on different boards, mainly stitching coming away or buckles busting.

Take them back and demand a refund because they are not fit for use.
Good luck

I have Alpine stars Tech 3's which are not supposed to be waterproof but even after a good dab in the same ford (I stalled!) my feet were still dry.
