For those looking for very cheap motorcycle boots....

[snowclobber]

Just to share with bros out there who r looking for very cheap motorcycle boots. Went down to Beach Rd and saw some shops selling zipper motorcycle boots for $30+ to $40+. Checked it out and discovered that the leather was thin and the sole too.Can't expect much for that price. But what amazed me is that it comes with and additional layer of leather at the gear shift part. Asked the aunty whether can last long, she said good enought if can last 6 months to 1 year liao. Most of her buyers so far no complaints, they just buy. I bought 1 pair and using it for 1 week so far so good. Felt light and thin though compared to my Sigma long boots which lasted only 6 months and torn on both boots. Well I paid peanuts I get peanuts.

doesn't look too bad for 30 bucks plus product.

 

could be a good alternative for those who need a pair of riding boots for the short term.

i agree.. for that price, it seems pretty decent, can wear for daily short trips.

 

thks to TS for the heads up, will go take a look around beach road one day..

is this water resistant?

[snowclobber]

I quote the aunty said 'Rain won't go in one'. Want to sell, anything can say.IMO if can last 6 mths to 1 year good enough...

This type most likely rain = socks becoming black. Keep it well polished to help keep the water out. Used something similar before, not bad but not enough protection for my tastes.

beach road army market is a pretty good description already.

 

i went there to look look.. only found 2 shops selling the pair that TS bought. and out of which, only 1 of them had regular sizes available.

didnt buy cos i decided that i didnt need them.

 

i remember seeing lower cut boots, but only maybe 1 or 2 pairs.

i am using the army gortex boots...served me well.. and most of all..it's free!!!

[prettymussel]

my new army goretex boots lasted me barely one ride.. then the sole started to detach!

 

i guess buy already too long never wear, then the glue all cmi.

TS apologies for going off topic from CHEAP, but I feel that a quality pair of boots is worth investing in.

 

for those looking for a good daily riding waterproof gortex riding boots, i would suggest TCX jupiter, available from chiap lee, at abt $180 or lesser??? (errr... can't remember the price...better to go down and check)

 

yes, its PRICEY, but it was worth it IMHO. I have been using it for more than a year and it is just starting to show moderate signs of wear on high usage area.

 

Decided to invest in it after having 3 pairs of GOOD shoes destroyed by BBDC 2B bikes...hahaha... it has served me well and it played a part in getting my 2B on 1st try.

 

Grippy sole (much better than my nikes or adidas), above ankle cut, and WATER PROOF.

Being boots they come with long laces, so I tie it "army style" using the multi loops method.

 

Here's a review of it by webbike world http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-boots/tcx-jupiter/

the inner ankle part got protection?

[donutbiker]

the inner ankle part got protection?

 

if u r referring to the TCX, the ankle area is covered by firm sponge and there is a small cup on the inner ankle area.

lolx.. army.. too thick and heavy for me.. tried riding to reservice one time.. SUPER uncomfortable and hard to change gear.. either sport shoe or slipper is better for me..

Wah.. dun wear slipper bro...

 

Very dangerous... Convenient yes but safe? Not at all.

Never take the chance with slippers on a bike...

 

I wear boots as often as I can... safest way

And if your boots have laces, make sure they are tucked in to prevent them getting stuck in your foot pegs..

[kuwaiyert]

wah.. nice info... thanks bro..!!

 

i used to wear my hi cut safety boot but it gets uncomfortable down the ride.. will try this one..

As requested.

 

I have the same pair as this, also got it from Beach Road. But not suitable for heavy rain, like the first Orchard road flood. I usually wear my rainshoe on top on my boots, but that day I lazy. During the ride, can feel my whole boots full of water. Lucky got spare socks in my box.

 

Light rain still ok, but not heavy rain.

Thinking of buying timberland waterproof boot for riding....but now see this budget riding boot change my mind. Am worry riding will tear $200 timberland boot....best try this and see how first.

[snowclobber]

Just an update of my boots. Beginning to "open up" at the front portion but a little bit only. Maybe the glue not that lasting?? It's been wat?, 6 months already? So far still wearing 'em with a rain shoe cover standing by....

[DeusExMachina]

Looks like Polyurethane.... aka Synthetic leather... as those found on cheaper "fashion leather" jackets.
