ani way sum tings LAB sell more expensive than outside....

Reari gt 2 b a bargain hunter loh...

 

sorry guy i n oe

Pai say...

Motoworld in my opinion is definitely not cheap at all. Considering the price i pay for some of the items there is similar or sometimes even more than the price i can get it for from overseas with shipping included.

 

Service? i don't think their service is very gd either. Mabbe to regulars bah.

 

Sometimes you don't need to spend a bomb to replace your fused rear brake light bulbs so wad to do... go lab buy cheap bulbs... haha

 

Ultimately the price you pay should be justifiable by the quality as well as the level of service provided.

I used to have one... but it didn't last very long...

nonetheless, its a good boot for the low price

I've one too. Still using it:

Good:

waterproof....but must wax once in a while

Bad:

Don't look good

poor quality mat'l....zip lining came loose.....zipper broke.

 

resewn the lining.....use wire to replace zipper. Still using

I saw this harley davidson boots on offer around 59 to 69 at World of sports Jurong point...wonder if these are good buy?

 

How about the safety boots from saf e-mart? Free one.

bro how abt the army goretex boots...cheap n good...i wore it so far so good...

Bought this Diadora Avenue touring boots from Regina. Very high built quality compared to sigma, forma & sidi. About same price as Forma boots also.

Its got water proof & shin & heel armor protections. What makes me choose this is not just the price. The sole bottom threads is more rough unlike sidi or forma - which are flat & smooth. Might be better grip if I go waterfall climbing during one of my regular riding trips.

Planning to wear this for chinese new year, riding & climbing waterfalls & during heavy rain.

bro, i'm a nsf now lar. So i wear my goretex boots daily to and fro camp. Its only soso during dry weather (no sliders and kevlar protection) but it certainly stinks during wet weather.

 

In the event of a rain, the front portion of the boots (which happens to be going head-on against the rain) are the laces. Thus it is in-evitable that there are gaps here and there. Whenever u ride through a puddle of water / pro-long riding in a drizzle / just normal riding in a storm its 110% percent that your boots will be soakin wet.

 

If you take a look closely on a decent pair of riding boots, their opening is always on the side of the feet. Usually on the inside of your boots (right boots, the opening will be facing the rear on the left side of ur feet and vice versa). This way, when u ride in a downpour you will stand a better chance of getting dry feet.

 

:cheer:

 

If your budget allows, i would really advice you to stay away from using the army boots as riding boots. They really stinks man. i'm a NSF now, so i cant use my oxtar riding boots so i'm forced to use a pair booties to cover my army goretex boots in an event of a rain lols

Sorry if I offended anybody. What I meant is, "LAB and affiliates" continue to enjoy high volumes of business despite complains about its service because it price its products very competitively. Personally I don't buy anything there unless it is a product that is priced much higher elsewhere. For the low price, I don't expect good service so I don't complain about it either.

 

Motoworld has questionable service quality as well. I have been there a few times and I did not receive good service to justify the premium I paid over other stores. I probably won't go there unless I have to.

any1 try Rjays??

$160.

 

...........................

 

Today when I went to Chong Aik, I saw a Sigma touring boots with steel toe cap & water proof - $100. Chong Aik seems to have many types of Sigma boots. But I was told the Sigma boots made in Pakistan. But I would have bought this steel toe cap boots if I knew about it earlier - coz can wear at work & walking & riding.

 

But I doubt the grip is as good as my Diadora, if you wish to ride to Mt Ophir & wear the boots to climb up to the waterfall etc. ( I am planning to do that)

 

[stwb1981]

Well a s i said ...

Value For $$

it up to individual...
