"Both feet flat, finally"
I'm 5'6". Thirty years I put one toe down and prayed. Now both boots are flat, the bike doesn't lean, and I'm easy in the car park.

"Both feet flat, finally"
I'm 5'6". Thirty years I put one toe down and prayed. Now both boots are flat, the bike doesn't lean, and I'm easy in the car park.
Gary P., Lancashire
"Nobody can tell"
I was sure they'd look like heel boots. My mates at the bike shop didn't notice a thing — and I got my inches. That's exactly what I wanted.
Mike D., 61, Essex
"I actually walk in these"
Tried lift insoles before — perched, sore, miserable to walk in. Not these. I step off the bike and walk all day without thinking about it.
Alan R., Kent
"On my feet every day"
Wear them almost daily since they came in. Leather's breaking in right, the sole holds, the reach hasn't moved. Bombproof.
Bernard G., 64, Devon
"The one thing I hadn't tried"
Shaved seat, lowered forks — I did it all to the bike. Nobody told me to fix it at the foot. Turned out to be the easy part.
J.C. M., Glasgow
"Nailed the size, classy box"
Went half a size up like the guide said — perfect. Shoehorn and a handwritten note in the box. Feels like a real outfit, not a drop-shipper.
Pat L., 59, Bristol
"My wife noticed"
Didn't say a word to her. She asked if I'd "straightened up." I stand straighter now, and I carry it better.
Dave F., 58, Norfolk
"Good for ten more years"
At my age the guys start talking trike, or quitting. With these I've got both feet down and I keep my bagger. That's not nothing.
Roland C., 66, Cumbria · bagger
"Packed with care"
Tracking number the same day, and the box was packed with care. Real service — you forget that still exists.
Steve V., 62, Cardiff
You slide off the seat, one toe on the tarmac, 800 pounds leaning on one knee, hoping nobody's watching. With 3.5 inches more reach: both boots flat, bike straight.
Out of the garage, out of a tight parking bay, off a sloping drive. That's where most bikes tip over. Flat feet give you the grip to push it back, step by step.
The road drops away on one side and your foot finds nothing. The extra reach and the lug sole find the ground for you.
Check it in 10 seconds. Your seat height is in your owner's manual (or search your model). Your inside leg is your trouser length.
Estimate only. Wide touring and cruiser seats usually need about 2 inches more leg than the seat height to plant both feet flat. Every bike and suspension is different, and that's what the 30-day trial and free returns are for.
Get both feet downThe reach isn't a heel stacked under the boot. It's 3.5 inches spread under the heel and midfoot, engineered into the boot itself, with a thin toe that keeps contact with the gear lever. From the outside the thickness doesn't read — the matte-black leather erases it. Most "height" boots claim three inches and hand you an inch and a half — and you already know it. We claim three and a half, and we hand you the tape: barefoot, then booted, against the wall. The number is real, not decoration.
You're not wearing an elevator shoe. You're wearing a boot that raises you.
[IMAGE 4:5]You've lowered the seat, swapped the springs, dropped the forks. Every time, you gave up a little of the bike to gain half an inch. StealthLift™ finishes the job at the foot, without touching the machine. At the lights, on a hill, in the car park: both feet down, bike stable, head quiet.
The last inch you were missing — and the only one that costs your bike nothing.
[IMAGE 4:5]It's the complaint of everyone who's tried an insole: you're perched, you walk badly, your feet hurt. The Shovelhead is built around the reach — progressive sole, weight spread across the foot, grippy lug. You step off the bike and walk naturally, all day, downhill or flat.
An insole lifts your heel. A KAIDRIC teaches you to walk on it.
Change the boot, not the bike.
| KAIDRIC | Lowering your bike | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | £129.90, once | Links, lowered seat & garage labour — £400+ |
| Reversible? | Yes — take them off | No — it's permanent |
| Works on | Any bike you own, stock | That one bike only |
| Handling & ground clearance | Untouched | Reduced — it scrapes in corners |
| Resale value | Bike stays 100% stock | Drops (modified bike) |
| Time to both feet down | The second you lace up | Days in the shop |
| Still on your toes after? | No — a full 3.5 inches, flat | Often, even lowered |
Wear them, ride them, wheel your bike out of the garage in them. If you're not planting both feet flat at your stops, send them back for a full refund. Wrong size? We exchange it free.
They run slightly small: order half a size up from your usual UK size (you wear a UK 8? Order a UK 8.5). The size guide shows exactly which size to order. Not right? Size exchanges are free. Available in UK 6 to 10.
If you're on your toes today, 3.5 inches of reach is usually the gap between tip-toes and both feet flat. Check your numbers with the reach calculator above. Not enough? You have 30 days and free returns.
No. The reach is built in under the heel and midfoot, and the boot is matte black on a black sole. With your jeans and your bike, there's nothing to see.
No. It's a real matte-black nubuck riding boot with a lugged outsole and a gear pad, engineered so the 3.5 inches of reach never show. You ride in it, you don't pose in it.
Yes, and it's measurable: tape against the wall, barefoot then booted. We'd rather give you a number you can prove than a promise.
They feel like a regular 6-inch leather work boot. The reach is spread under the heel and midfoot, so the weight sits evenly and you walk naturally, all day.
Yes. The toe stays thin with a reinforced gear pad, and on heel-toe shifters it drops right in. The lever is also height-adjustable on any bike.
You've got 30 days to ride in them. Not planting both feet flat? Full refund or exchange, no hassle: that's the 30-Day Both Feet Down Guarantee.
They're free. Message us, we send you everything you need, and your new size goes out as soon as we get the first pair back.
Yes: 1 year on the boot and on the reach, on top of the 30-Day Both Feet Down Guarantee.
Yes. You pay through Shopify's secure checkout, every order ships with tracking, and a real person answers your emails. You're covered by the 30-day guarantee and free returns.
They come in one standard width. If you have wide feet, order half a size up as usual. If it's tight, we exchange it free.
Yes. The reach is in the boot, not on the bike: cruisers, tourers, GS and other adventure bikes, trikes. Nothing to fit, nothing to adjust.
Free UK shipping, out the door in 24–48 hours in a plain, discreet box.

What doesn't show is what sets you apart. 3.5 inches nobody sees — and a stop you never dread again.
[IMAGE 4:5]The reach hides under the boot — nobody ever knows.
No links, no cut seat — full resale value kept.
Thin shifting toe, lugged sole, worn every ride.
