flyboy1011 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Lookin to pick up a good pair of boots for this spring because my current ones are my combat boots If anyone has any gently used ones that's awesome but if not, suggestions are always welcome. I'm not looking for a track boot or anything like that...just something kinda casual and not too expensive. Something kinda like these maybe???http://www.ironpony.com/ironponydirect/product.asp/ImageName/ASTAR-ONE-O-ONE-SHOE.jpg/Brand/ALPINESTARS/Class2/Footwear/Class3/Street%20Boots-Mens/Class1/STREET%20PRODUCTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy1011 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Ehhh that's maybe a little on the expensive side...I'm trying to keep it under 150 if at all possible. Idk if I really like em that tall either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vw151 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I love my sidi vertigo airs. They might be a little much if your just street riding but they are very comfortable and crash good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) if you're looking to pick up someone's used pair, you might consider telling people what your shoe size is.and instead of the shorty semi-riding boots, i'd just go with a pair that is full coverage, but easy to put on...maybe something like these: http://www.motostrano.com/bonneville.htmldont have to be puma's or anything like that, but a boot similar to that will provide good ankle protection and full coverage while not breaking the bank, especially if you find some on sale from one of our many fine sponsors.

the_silverfox Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Warm in the winter? Warm in the summer?They're pretty warm in the winter; I was able to go about 50 miles at highway speeds at 27°F before I started feeling cold. They're warm in the summer...can get a little too warm in the toes if you're riding through very humid stuff but the inside dries pretty quickly.

AOW Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) In line w/jbot: when I got "kissed" by two cars I was wearing cheap ass Vega Touring riding boots. The only things that didn't get scraped or broken were what those cheap crappy boots protected.... my ankles and feet! They fit good, comfy, waterproof, but after 2yrs the soles were toast. $62.99 at the PonyThe Matrix boots by Vega are the same price as above, but are more the style you're looking for. Again, I would use these while you're saving up for a good pair of boots. That will buy you 2yrs at max!

timotheus Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 you must be hard on your boots....i got close to 5 years out of mine. i replaced them this past summer with vega sport 2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
