Yea I love the price point. And the airflow of them. The alpinestars just don't have the airflow of these boots
No one carries them around me

State 8 carries the SMX-5 boots, that's where I got mine. And if you ask they might also give you 10% off, just tell them you're a new rider looking for gear on a budget. You could also at least try them on and see, and there is a decent amount of calf room so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'm diggin the cortech latigo air the most

@Jiggles Happy with these?

Nice and perforated, good for casual track days and mostly just daily riding. Good protection AND he even says its great protection from ankle protection and rolling. And they're super cheap and look great ;D

The A*s do have some vent placements at the ankle, heel, shin, and base of the foot. But you are right not nearly as much as the Latigo Air. For what its worth, my feet sweat while taking a shower and I've yet to get clammy in these. I didn't like all the holes in the perf scheme of the Latigos, but I do have this weird phobia of clusters of circles or holes - don't ask.

You don't have to worry about your thighs being in the way. Unless your legs are so short where the boots actually reach your thighs or you intend on wearing boots that go all the way up your thighs....

Just to beat a dead horse, spending that 200 will be cheaper than say, your hospital bill if some car didn't see you and hit you.

Click it... I dare you

so guys, no one carries cortech around me. I wear a 10 1/2 in nikes. Should i just get 11's from revzilla and return them if they don't fit because they have a free return policy?

Jiggles · April 17th, 2012, 03:13 PM

Go for it, you may have to pay shipping though. I just ordered my tcx boots online, never tried them on

what size do you usually wear/ what size tcx did you order?

Jiggles · April 17th, 2012, 03:19 PM

I usually wear 11-12, I think I ordered 11.5

April 17th, 2012, 03:21 PM

Also.. anything else I should buy while im ordering something? Idk if theres anything I still need.

Jiggles · April 17th, 2012, 03:22 PM

Helmet, gloves, jacket, pants, boots.

April 17th, 2012, 03:24 PM

I got joe rocket gloves, agv dreamtime helmet, and an agv mesh/textile jacket. I refuse to spend more money on pants at this point lol. Anything cheap that I might be overlooking?

Jiggles · April 17th, 2012, 03:25 PM

Get some knee pads then if you don't want pants. Again, lowsiding is going to **** up your ankles and knees

April 17th, 2012, 03:26 PM

**** my knees at this point lol
you buttholes persuaded me into boots. you're not getting me on pants. That makes 3200 on the bike, 40 a month on insurance, and 550 on gear

Time to sell some of my guitars and amps. And go to school in nc and sell the civic hahaha. Ah well this was out of my savings. College loans are gonna **** me hard anyways.

nautica · April 17th, 2012, 03:37 PM

You can get pants for ~$125 with knee armor and hip padding. I also just bought some 4 season pants that have CE rated knee armor, padding on hip bones and other padding in the area, and they have a removable thermal liner. They can also serve as overpants if I so choose. Quit being so cheap!

BEING CHEAP!??! I just blew 4k on a bike and full gear lol, keep in mine I'm working and putting myself through school so that much money is a lot to me! Well the only reason I bought the bike is because I'm taking so much school that I'm graduating in 3 years so having the bike is my motivation. I hate you guys.

Ha true, but what's another couple hundred?? Also try ridersdiscount.com, they have good deals. And if you're on ohioriders.net contact Nathan from ridersdiscount for a discount. He's saved me quite a bit on some of the gear I got and wish I knew about it sooner.

Pants are cheap!

Crash tested at 50mph in the reviews.
These pants include hip protectors and CE knee protectors. Get them as over-pants and call it a day!
Who ever told you that motorcycling was cheap? A squid?

Sorry for the delayed response but the latigos were half size big on me. I needed to order half size lower. Did bikebandit not have your size? Seemed like they had a lot of stock.

Btw the way one surefire way to slim down those meaty thighs of yours is to slide down the pavement on them at speed. Get pants sacrifice elsewhere not on safety. If u dont want to where riding pants to school look into the bohn armor pants. They are spandex underpants with hip armor knee armor and thigh pads. I sometime where them to work under my pants and no one can tell. They go great under jeans and all the armor is removable. Ive worn them in 85 degrees so far and they were comfy.

massacremasses · April 17th, 2012, 07:35 PM

it be hypocritical of me to tell you to get pants since I still dont have any... lol

Gabriel Brothers in Kent carries work boots if you absolutely can't find motorcycle boots. Better than nothing.

State 8 has a limited selection of boots.

Jiggles · April 17th, 2012, 09:37 PM

I don't technically own motorcycle pants, but I was on my way to buy some when I crashed so I don't feel like a hypocrite haha

Call or email revzilla and tell them what you want to get and your size. Their recommendations are usually spot on even if the size chart from manufacturer is wrong.
