Falco Ranger 2 Boots In Black

We really like the Falco Ranger 2, although, in truth, it differs to its predecessor only in minor respects. The Rangers are, it perhaps has to be acknowledged, not the roughest, toughest, most Tonka Toy-like boot on the market but, by reputation, they are just about the most comfortable biking boots you’ll ever sink your feet into. The full-grain leather has been oil treated for extra water repellency, but the real waterproofing comes from the waterproof membrane. A full-length zip makes the boots a little easier to get in and out of, but do not forger that the waterproof gusset will mean that you will still probably have to use the laces. One neat touch is a pocket at the top of the boot into which you can tuck the laces to keep them out of harm’s way. The ankles are protected with D3O inserts.  Now Falco state that the Ranger has a Goodyear-welted construction. It doesn’t. The sole is a reasonably rugged and, unlike the Ranger 1, it has a pronounced heel. The previous version had a flatter sole. This made moving one’s feet up and down the pegs easier, but some people didn’t like the fact that the flat sole could make you feel as though you were leaning backwards. The new sole and heel, therefore, probably signify the only significant change from the 1 to the 2.
