New Boots!

sjc88 · October 29th, 2011, 12:42 PM

Just got these boots in yesterday, "Cortech Latigo Air RR Boots Black". They are my first pair of boots so I cant really compare them to anything. It fits nice and snugged. Only concern at the moment is that it feels weird to shift in them, but im sure I will get used to it over time.

Got the same ones and love them. Great value, comfortable. You'll get used to shifting, it actually makes it easier imho, as it takes less to shift with the thicker boots.

If you are riding with your foot under the shifter, that might cause a full boot to feel awkward. You might find it easier to rest your foot on the peg on the ball of your foot, not leave it under the shifter. Just move your foot down when you need to upshift. This will give you better ability to move your weight around and control the bike that, as well as give you quicker downshifts. If, after a bit of time to get used to it, you still find it awkward, there is discussion elsewhere on the forums about how to adjust your shifter. You really shouldn't have to do that, though.

Yes, definitively a great value boot. I actually rest the balls of my feet on the peg, just the feeling is weird cause its so much bigger than my shoe.
