Default Boots!

Hey guys.. i'm in the purchase mode apparently. lol BUT since i just had some work done to the bike, i can't quite go gung-ho yet. Unfortunately boots were the last thing on my mind when i was getting the gear i currently have.

What do you guys think of these.. esp for the price? I know they aren't the most amazing in protection, and not race-bred at all, but compared to what i use for footwear i was hoping they'd be an ok purchase. Let me know. Thanks!!

I think I have a pair of these laying around, new in the box. A friend of mine bought them, but the zipper broke the first time he tried to put them on. So he gave them to me to see if I wanted to have them fixed (we have nearly the same shoe size), but they are so uncomfortable that I won't even consider wearing them.

- oh, never mind. These are the Joe Rocket Blaster boot.

Even so, you might want to find a shop that has a pair and try them on to make sure they feel ok before you order them online. Unless new enough has a good return policy?

Hmm, i wonder if the local Lanphere shop has 'em. I'd guess so, since that's where i bought the rest of my JR gear. UGH god i want some Allistars.. *sighs*

You mean Alpinestars? I love mine. I think I paid $199 for them from Cycle Gear. You might be able to find a better price online somewhere.

However.. i may just wait out for these. I mean if you're going to protect your feet, why not do it right? And being the "gifted" in foot sizing.. AAA, but 10-1/2 to 11. these seem to be better suited for me.
