New Boots
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 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. |

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 |

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.
