Looking for riding shoes.

[lanfire]

I think i will be getting this. Watched a review video from revzilla. I have big calves man so this will do the job for me. Where do you buy it? regina?

 

I bought it from Chiap Lee

[kay1605203579]

the tcx xmiles look gd. chiap lee is not opened on sundays. any other places sell?

 

i tink the riding shows will be a gd invesment

 

im looking for gloves too. any recommendstion?

[kay1605203579]

TS,wear saf combat boots. they are becoming more n more stylish

lol. bro, i tried to ride with saf boots a few times, cannot leh. the braking "lost feel"

[xavez]

Just got the TCS x-miles. First Impression: Looks very stylish, like something you could wear to Ochard Rd. Easy to wear: just 2 velcro and it's secured. Adjustable at the ankle. Comfortable, but a little stiff cuz brand new. Probably will get better after break in. The soles are thin enough to feel the braking, and front part thin enough to slip under my low gear pedal. Great protection: hard at the front, some molded thing at the heels, ankle paddings, thick leather all around.

 

Minus: Sole is a little slippery. But it could be because I'm used to my non-slip safety boots

Ankle pad pokes into your feet a little. Should get better after break in

 

Didn't ride in the rain yet so no comment on the waterproofness

 

Basically, great boots at a reasonable price! Got them from Chiap Lee at around $200. Thanks to lanfire for the recommendation!

 

Got meself a tank/tail bag that can be carried like a backpack or slingbag and fits one fullface helmet from there as well. lol

 

 

oh btw TS you can try Kings high cut safety boots. Steel toe cap, thick leather, and 100% waterproof. Just not very comfortable, cuz toe area too much space, and no other protection that bikers need, and it has shoe lace, which is dangerous for riding. Price: $56.95.

In the crazy massive downpour this afternoon, with my x-miles on I

 

Stood in 5cm flood at the bike lot

Survived the 1hr journey home (rode really slow)

 

and my socks were totally dry.

 

I had rstaichi rainbuster pants and the northface gortex from the cmo. besides a little ingress at the sleeves due to the position, i was dry head to toe. now riding in the rain is not so dreadful

Nice! glad you made it home.. its raining for a very long time already. I am worried that when i sit on my bike, my pants tend to go up, dunnoe the x miles can cover anot. if not the water will seep in from the top.

[wywsyy]

i bought the taichi waterproof one too, but it stop being waterproof after a few months, other than that it's awesome

The X-miles covers 7 inches from the base of your feet. Hope that helps... Otherwise SAF combat is the only other affordable, wait, free alternative lol

Yea and I was at Eugene saddlery to fix my seat. And the rain continued to pour. With my drymaster kit at home. Good thing had the same north face from cmo. But no pants. And since I wanted to invest in a pair of waterproof riding pants, walk to Chiap lee. Got a coocase one. Tested it on the way back to jurong. But not before going into city square mall to ****. Bloody stomachache. Rode the way back, all dry. But it's still drizzling now...

[ki113r]

[ticks]

Coocase one. 180. Ask for discount. Say your friend bought a boots and a pants fr him recommend wan.

Not bad. Im getting the hang of SAF boots too. I just have to be extra gentle with the foot pegs.

[smgoh6]

I went to chiap lee, chong aik and regina yesterday.. tcx x miles dont have my size =.= Chiap lee selling at 220. Chong aik sport rain also dont have my size ): Regina got some boots too.. only tried 1.. skies are getting dark so i left early. I tried the forma diablo. $160 if i rem correctly. Going down to motoworld soon to check out their boots!

Not sure about the stuff that Motoworld brings in. Up there one contributor said his Taichi one gave way in waterproofing after few months only. And don't think the price is that much of a difference. Considering we're talking Japanese vs. Italian. (I think)

[BC]

saf boots is good... get those gore-tex version ones...

 

otherwise, tactical boots might be another option... equally tough and some models are gore-tex too...

[BREELZ]

I think there is no cheap ones.

[smgoh6]

Anyone know where i can get the alpinestars ridge wp boots? does regina sell them?

[smgoh6]

Motoworld brings in falco boots.. have anyone buy them before? and hows the experience with the boots?

[Lighteden]

SAF boots is good protection too
