 Posted: 15:08 - 06 Jan 2014 Post subject: Recommend me some boots... |
 |
|
I got some Alpinestars SMX-Plus boots in 2010, and they've finally died. All laces and zips broken, and general falling apart...

They don't make them anymore, or at least, I can't find another pair, new, online or in shops.
I need them to be track based boots, I don't need them to be waterproof or any of that shit, I need the most protection. Cost isn't really a factor. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

I have a pair of the fancy Vortice (I think pronounced Vortichey) ones that make you an track star.
Very comfy first time on and the nylon fishing gut tension system is cool too.
I had the shut the vents as my toes get a bit cold in the winter weather.

But don't pay 300 quid. I got mine last year for about 230 I think.

I saw them in a shop recently. I didn't like the amount of bolts and screws in them. My last experience of something like that was in my old Arlen Ness boots, and they kept falling out and bits coming off.
Nothing like that happened with these? ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles. In summery, mattsprattuk is a gobby little sh1tebag, dopehead tw4t, but sadly for all of us, he probably isn't THAT full of sh1te!!

What this guy says, I have these too except in white and look like a proper slut, adds +4hp & -1sec off your lap time. I didn't get the same deal he did though and paid full price. Best boots I've owned |

I've been impressed with my GF's Daytona boots her father bought her. They have a very understated look, but are effectively a boot inside a boot. Check them out in person if you get the chance.
If I was looking for a safety upgrade from my current TCX Race GTX, Daytona would probably be at the top of my list. My boots are like wellies compared to the daytonas. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

I hadn't really thought much of sidi to be honest. Went in today, pondered for about an hour, and came out with these.

I saw the other ones mentioned, but I didn't really like the look of the fishing wire fastening system. Far too fragile, so figured this would hopefully last a bit longer.
I was so close to buying the carbon fibre ones, but the fishing wire was the turn off. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

Fragile? It's the same cat gut they used to land Gemma Collins off of TOWIE that time.  ____________________ W-ireless A-rtificial L-ifeform L-imited to O-bservation P-eacekeeping and E-fficient R-epair |

Its nylon wire, the only way your snapping it is if you do something stupid like over tighten to the point your cutting off blood supply or you take a knife to it. Its replaceable anyway. |

Well, I'd rather trust the ski-boot type fastener than a tiny little twisty bit and some plastic wire. That's just me though. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

Meh, -2 is nothing when you've got enough man points for elbow down.
