New Boots

[Redgeneral]

Picked up a pair of A* Supertech R used for a steal. First thing I have to say, this is by far the most comfortable boot I have ever put my foot into. I wouldn't go for a long walk in these, but on the bike even with being as large and as protective as they are, I barely notice I'm wearing them.

Hope I never have to test them out for protectiveness, but I feel confident that they will protect me much better than my starter boots (Vega Sport 2)

I'm just getting everything together and set up this year so that I can hit the track next season. I'll be moving in the next couple years to within 2 hours of a track, so I'm taking care of the large expenses (gear, bike etc) so that there's more leftover for more time on the track.

I took a chance on these since I had never tried on a set of SuperTechs. Only the SMX+, which I didn't like at all because they felt very narrow, and I couldn't really find a size that felt comfortable.

Picked these up for just under $300, and other than some exterior scuffs, they're pristine.

WOW 300 for some boots

thats more than my entire gear budget lol

my bike was 800 adn my jacket, pants, helmet, boots, and gloves all cost less than 300

I buy everything second hand !

lucky for me people buy **** and sell it to me out of buyers remorse for dirt cheap

I'm happy with the deal, $500 boots for $300 makes me happy.

I think I'd be nervous about crashing in a full setup that costs less than $300.

The only piece of equipment that I own that is not second hand is my helmet.

Yeah I hear ya. Good gear is good gear and a used lid is not a wise way to ride!

I wear casual ridding gear , I dont do track days and I am not a particularly aggressive rider..


Hopefully my icon boots, pants and gloves coupled with a jacket and a decent helmet will save most of my skin ! lol

Thanks!

Very good buy!

Used gear are the way to go. And I've seen tons of deals lately. Don't be afraid to buy used.
