View Full Version : Boots
Trueblood22 04-13-2006, 11:20 PM Hey, I'm thinking of buying some boots over easter. These are what I'm thinking. http://www.newenough.com/gaerne_shockwave_boots_page.htm
I was just wondering if the boots would tuck under blue-jeans?
I'm affraid I would feel like a tool walking around in public in them.
Thanks for the info!

and the sole is awesome!

doncollins 04-18-2006, 11:56 AM You will look funny walking around in public in any race boots. They don't flex enough and aren't really made/designed to walk around in. I bought a set like shraz did and love them. Flexible and still provides more protection than normal boots.
Here's the ones I went with

hondaguru 04-18-2006, 06:02 PM What brand/model boots are those? I like them.
doncollins 04-18-2006, 07:34 PM Opps... I thought I wrote that in the post. They are Vega Nitro Matrix Boots. I never tried the Vega brand because their helmets look cheap to me. But... my local shop had these and I tried them on. With a sale price and a discount I walked away paying $50 total. I've put about 500 miles on them and they are great. You can walk around in them and not even notice them.
You can see a little of it in the picture on the toe area, but the inside area and toes of the boots are carbon fiber to shield from heat.
Here's a link I found to buy them online for $60 whatever shipping is. (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/item.aspx?style=11665&department=115&Division=1)
hondaguru 04-18-2006, 11:25 PM Awesome. Hows the protection on them. I really want something wiht some good ankle protection.
doncollins 04-19-2006, 12:34 AM They completely cover my ankles, they lace up and have a flap that covers the laces so there's no chance of snagging them. They're not stiff and rigid like race boots, but I wanted something that will give so I can wear them and walk around.
delta 04-19-2006, 12:41 AM I like those boots they look nice. I have a Vega Mesh jacket and I really like it. Fits good and has the hard CE armor.
So I'll have to check out those boots at my local shop. I think they have them for about 50 bucks.
Heres the jacket:

doncollins 04-19-2006, 01:06 AM So the Vega jacket is good? Do you like their helmets?
no1biscuit 04-19-2006, 01:15 PM I like the looks of these Icon Super Duty 2 (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/item.aspx?style=17843&department=115&division=1) but I can't find anyone who has them and has wrote a review on the sizing and comfort.
doncollins 04-19-2006, 02:20 PM My neighbor has them... They look and feel good, but he wears a size 12 like I do and said he has trouble shifting.
hondaguru 04-19-2006, 04:38 PM I really like the super duty's also, so I want more info if you got it. Like protection measures.
Anubis 04-19-2006, 05:07 PM For what its worth i wear the alpinestars smx 2 boots, full calf height. and there comfy all day long I wear them in work as I nip in and out on deliveries on the bike.
delta 04-20-2006, 12:39 PM yeah i like the jacket, its only a mesh so I still need a leather or tex. or maybe a combo.
I actually never knew they made helmets, so i cant help on that subject.
brian 05-07-2006, 10:19 AM How do street boots differ from MX boots? Im wearing my MX boots as I love the extra protection, but I find it difficult to shift gears.
