While arriving at Thursday's Club meeting, I realized that the SOLE on the left
Sidi Canyon boot had just come off as I was trying to balance the bike on that
side. These boots were just 6 1/2 years old, and not worn much at all.
Checked the other one and I found it was starting to come loose as well. I ended
up hobbling around during the meeting, and noted how slick the non-soled shoe
surface was.
Dreading the return trip, as I always depended on the surefootedness of
these boots when coming to a stop, I managed to make it home without
incident.
Dropped them off at a local "Shoe Hospital" for repair. Please take a moment
to check your boots for how well the soles are attached. It may save you some
grief on the road (or at the next RTE).
