Posted: 23:35 - 23 Aug 2013 Post subject: German Para Boots |
|
|
I bought a pair of these because I didn't want to shell out bundles on proper bike boots and I have to say, these are the nuts for what you pay for them. Unless you buy them new, they'll be surplus and broken in and they are really sturdy. They have a segment in the heel which allows for extended foot movement which are handy for gear changing and braking and also have a speed lacing arrangement which allows you to get them on almost as fast as if they were zipped. For the money you can't go wrong.

They are good for stomping on things
The only thing is the lack of ankle support that proper bike boots have, but if you don't intend to crash ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Yeah I should have added that you get an irristable urge to march into Poland as soon as you put a pair on. That's the only drawback ____________________ Current - Harley Davidson FXDB Street Bob | Harley Davidson FLTR Road Glide | Harley Davidson Road King

Fully agree. Brilliant boots for the money (I paid £33 I think). I bought one pair and was so delighted I bought 2 more pairs reckoning the 3 pairs will last me my time motorcycling.
Very comfortable. You can wear them all day AND do a lot of walking in them with no problems. Never had any water leaks - but then I am a fair weather biker whenever possible.

I have a pair of uk navy issue, that where 'borrowed' from them. They get returned and swaped for a new pair when ever they get too worn (the toes/ sides on mine on some corners as they are fairly wide)
Iv never used a different set of boots in my 3 year riding career and doubt I will.

Resurecting an old post
Snod is now almost the wrong side of 76 - and is dying of lung cancer.
A local dealer will, for a modest fee, handle displaying/ seliing my bike but there are all sorts of extras around the house
I have one pair of these German Para Boots (used - prefer to say broken in) that are in superb condition and finish. Personally I have never worn them because I always wore one of the other pairs I bought at the same time.
Anyone want to make an offer

It's terrible how your mortality sneaks up and kicks you in the goolies.
I think I always thought I'd live forever when I was a nipper.
