cskeller07 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I was thinking something like this as far as price range goeshttp://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/36/21504/ITEM/AXO-Primato-II-Boots.aspxorhttp://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/36/20943/CITEM/TCX-SS-Sport-Racing-Boot-Closeouts.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost1888 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I have the TCX ss boot. They've been good for 20 some thousand miles. They are in need of replacement now though. swing arm pivot bolt nut (sounds weird) rubs on the front side of the boots and wears off the leather on my Sv with aftermarket rear sets. I'm seeing it's just the nature of the beast. Unless I get a boot with hard plastic right in the front. But then they won't flex as well. Anyways the TCX ss boots are a good bargain boot for sport touring/ aggressive street riding for the price. I don't think I'll buy them again though. Time for something new.

Flying Brick Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I also keep going back to the Thor 50/50 boots Flying Brick is referencing. Really has heavy duty ankle protection. One of the sturdiest boots I've considered. http://www.kneedraggers.com/product/610749/Thor-50/50-BootsI own 2 pairs, and Silverfox bought her second pair not too long ago. Plus Thor customer service is awesome, they sent us new buckles twice, for free, when the original pair wore out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cskeller07 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Im just doing everyday street riding. I think these would sufficehttp://www.motonation.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=6&idproduct=4245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yup. You'll like em. If you have the coin I would suggest the Airs. The fusions and the B2s get hot in the summer. Thats my only complaint with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my only complaint with them.They are actually the same price...I considered that, im not sure what i would want, when i ride to work in the morning its sometimes 40-50 and i dont want to get cold feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ah. I didn't see the fusion Airs. Well for me its always been easier to stay warm than cool. With the right socks and or electrics you can be comfortable in cooler temps. But when its hot it's harder to stay cool even at speed. IMO at least.

cskeller07 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 You want riding boots to be snug, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 You gotta be comfortable in them. Look at their exchange policy. I'm sure you can send them back for a sizing exchange. That or head to the Pony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I've got a pair of the shift fuel shoes got from casper I think 2 yrs ago and they are holding up great and are comfortable enough to wear all day at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 just get what you are comfortable with. You don't wanna go full boot you don't have too. Find a happy medium between the coin you have and the lecel of protection you need Just don't wear sneakers or mandals like TurboNick!

Helmutt Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Has anyone got a pair of Icon Field Armors? Just got a pair but would like to hear some personal field test results, I find they're very stiff but needed something more protective than my trusty old workboots for track attacking and backroad blasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymanthree Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 These are from Belleville, they are waterproof, don't remember specific model. Comfortable for daily ride to work (bike or truck) and work itself. I've hade these for over 2 years now and haven't let me down what-so-ever. Probably depends on what your riding though, obviously not recommended for sport bike riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdaho Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 ^^^^I would suggest something with more ankle protection.You should buy SIDI Vertigos, you can get a really good deal on used ones that are in great condition in the gear forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undr_psi Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I've got a pair of icon field armor chukka boots..there ok, didn't last to long before the sole started coming apart. Upgrading to A*s smx plus for this year I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
