I got my custom ordered Gasolina boots last week and tried them on a 225 mile loop yesterday. These are very well made, good fitting and comfortable boots. I went with the Gasolina Shortcut boot and asked that they build them using the perforated leather. The temperature on my ride was already 96 degrees at 8:30 am and 106 at noon so the ventilated leather got to be tested.
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. It is nice to have a handmade custom boot that fits my size 14 foot unlike many of the off the shelf brands that are too small. I also prefer leather over synthetic for heat and allergy reasons (and maybe some traditional biases).
