Boots free to good home - need new zip

I have some Oxford motorcycle boots size 9 but the zip in the one has broken and there is a small crack where it creases when you bend the toe on one boot.

Re: Helmet best before Date

Thanks for all the advice, my helmet looks as new, and doesn't get worn everyday and lives in its bag in its box when not in use. So I'll leave it another year or two.

Just for ref its a Shoei XR1100

Well done!
