Anyone have FHE with Vendramini boots?  My Oxtars are about done, and I like the fact that Vendramini makes boots out of leather, instead of synthetic material.

What's wrong with the synthetic leather?  It held up well in my crash...

Leather breathes, for one thing.

Mind you, I'm not saying that the synth materials are inferior, because I have no FHE with any of them; but, it seems to me that if they genuinely offered better performance you'd see a lot of lorica one-piece racing suits on the market. 

So nobody is rockin Vendramini boots?

I have a pair of BMW Racing boots that seem to be leather and Carbon Fiber. They are made in Italy. and fit and feel real good.
