Looking for some cheap boots.

Hello.

Anyone know any good online stores for some road motorbike boots ?

I can spend about £65 at this time and I have not seen many sales going on yet

Cheers.

Thanks some nice boots on there

I do have a frank Thomas aqua pore 2 piece but the top is a small size and but the bottoms are xL and I quit smoking almost 2 years so I am a little bit wider around the edges now lol

So I need new jacket for around £70 max as well.
I seen some so far but not sure if they are any good.

GothicGhost · 29 Nov 2013 at 23:30

Thanks.

If you're looking for some all weather type boots for commuting then I'd suggest trying to find some of these

http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/hein-gericke-tricky-gtxr-stiefel-schwarz-15204.html

I've had mine for 3-4 years now and they're so fantastic. Really comfortable, waterproof etc. You can't seem to buy them online anymore so you'd probably have to go into the shop.

GothicGhost · 30 Nov 2013 at 10:12

They do look nice but can't order online

And they are over budget at this time.

Thank you.

I got down to 3 jackets now but I would really like some advice on them if any could help me out thanks.

First one is one I almost sure of buying.
Richa Hatchet Waterproof Motorcycle Jacket.
http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/9339-richa-hatchet-waterproof-motorcycle-jacket.html

Second one also looks could but maybe not as good at the first?
Buffalo Rifle Touring Motorcycle Jacket.
http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/...touring-motorcycle-jacket.html#descriptiontab

Third one looks like a great sale bargain or is a very bad?
Frank Thomas FTW301 Extreme Tour Jacket.

Any help would be great thanks again.

I won an IXON Typhoon jacket from Fast Bikes magazine a few months ago (this one)and it's really good. There's a guy on the ZX6R forum who also won one and he's got his up for sale for less than half price at £75 so maybe give him a shout.

ShakenNstirred · 30 Nov 2013 at 17:27

GothicGhost · 30 Nov 2013 at 19:25

I was going to buy the short version of them but no size 11

Looking at more the shorter versions as my the bike trousers go over the short boots better then full size ones.

Cheers.

(update)

Found on here in my size same price

TripleT · 30 Nov 2013 at 20:24

I've got these and they do the job, comfortable and more importantly, waterproof!

Edit - just seen your edit, good choice!

GothicGhost · 30 Nov 2013 at 21:26

Thanks TripleT

Going to order them boots and I think the jacket I will get is this one http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/...cha-hatchet-waterproof-motorcycle-jacket.html

Cheers.

GothicGhost · 30 Nov 2013 at 22:02

Just quick question before I order.

They have the boots I want on ghost bike site here
http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/3238-spada-icon-waterproof-short-motorcycle-boots.html

It says EU46/uk12.
Other places say size EU46 is uk11?
Should I play it safe and just order the jacket from ghostbikes then order boots from the other shop?

And last question I have also seen some other boots lol
http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/.../6042-richa-slick-waterproof-ankle-boots.html
Any good?

ShakenNstirred · 30 Nov 2013 at 22:27

just don't buy Akito
I had some of there jacket n trousers.
the trousers split after 3 rides and the jacket after 6
good thing about ghostbikes is they sent someone for them and I ordered something else
so good customer service

GothicGhost · 30 Nov 2013 at 23:07

That sounds good

I really like the look of the Richa Slicks boots very temping to buy them lol

I have to order before 12 though as sale ends then I think.

(update)

Just ordered the Richa Hatchet Jacket and Richa slick ankle boots.

I went with the Slick boots as they got great reviews as well and they look bit nicer.

Thank you all for you help and advice it's always appreciated

Yaka · 1 Dec 2013 at 00:08

did you get the spada boots in the end? what do you think of them?

GothicGhost · 1 Dec 2013 at 00:31

I went for the Richa slick boots in the end as they looked a little better with great reviews as well.

I only ordered tonight so maybe Monday delivery.

Cheers.

GothicGhost · 4 Dec 2013 at 21:21

I got the stuff

But the jacket even in large is a bit tight so going send it back for a XL.
And the boots are ok but very slim fitting and not good for my big feet so they going back as well and I will get the Spada boots.

The jacket seems ok but not sure if it's any good yet lol.

TripleT · 4 Dec 2013 at 21:42

I found my RST jackets to be a small fit also so had to size up. Maybe they're all like that.

Spada boots are a good size, space in them for thick socks too. Well my size 8's are

I'm a 9 sometimes but the 8's are fine.
