girls biker boots

[baldrick]

so not exactly the same then, foo


ooh i like those ones too bladrick, but moose's are cheaper....but your ones do look nice....decisions....

yeah, i dunno either.

i like being able to try things on before I commit myself. if grattan do cheapish returns i might attempt to get an account again. but then i could go to office and try some on

Worth it though if they're going to last the distance

If I had the money and loved a pair enough then I'd go for it but neither applies.

I may invest at some point.

 

[kittyP]

Not cheap, but something like this: http://www.duoboots.com/products/boots/detail/calf_fitted_boots_everyday/malmo/25/colour/1/

See this is the thing. From my description they kinda fit it but thats not what I'm looking for.
They are not flat enough, too slim in the foot and leg and yes expensive.

I'm being too picky arn't I?

No, they have to be right. That's the one disadvantage of buying online, you can't see them properly.

I take it none of you actually want these boots to go ON a bike?? cept maybe Ruby.

I got a pair of Caterpillars boots in the Schuh sale for £25 for ON the bike. You really should check Schuh Rollem.

 

[onenameshelley]

I do.

There is so much stuff out there but none of them are quite right.

Gosh we are fickle

good i thought i might be the only one who suffered from Robo leg.

I quite like the lewis leathers ones, but just by looking at them i can tell i will need to sell a kidney

Sell a leg too. Then you would only need one boot at £162.50.

Or get some on ebay - size 6. The absolute dog's bollocks. Will last as long as you do: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-LEWIS...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

bollocks to that i can go on me holidays for that sort of money, and more importantly i bet they dont go down to a size 3 either..moneygrabbing sizeist gits.

they are all absolutely awful.

 

[Geri]

I used to have the coolest pair of biker boots ever, in the days when I was able to get normal boots over my calves. I really miss them.

 

[geminisnake]

They're Harley design, whatdya expect??

Shells, try looking on motorbike clothes shop for kids stuff. I got me some moto X boots for £70 cos they are kids size

You're not likely to get real bike stuff cheap though coz it's protective gear and should be well better made than High St stuff.

 

[Knut]

Gosh we are fickle

thats why god made designers, so we never run out of new stuff


i have these....and ermm a (few) more pair but thems my favorite...

and this to go with em....

i love clothes & shoes ....

 

[brix]

This - just about all the fashion "biker" boots I've seen are in no way fit to used on a bike - for posers or sad wannabees only TBH.

 

[girasol]

facking hell!!!

I used to have these in black/brown/suede/etc...

You could buy them in Camden for next to nothing in the early 90s... Does anyone else remember them?

Yep a friend of mine got a pair from Camden in the mid 90's for not a lot

Well I would wear them on a bike. Not because they give you as good protection as real biker boots, but because real biker boots don't come in my size, whereas Duo's boots do, and it's still better than wearing shoes.

But that's really not what this thread is about, it's about biker-styled boots, not boots for motorcycling in.

Please don't do this!! If you come off even at a slow speed you could get serious gravel rash at the very least. I came off a few weeks ago, wearing leathers, gloves, etc and got away with a severely bruised and grazed knee(still tender)
If I'd been wearing canvas shoes/jeans they would have fallen to pieces and my skin would have been next!! There's no ankle protection in your shoes either!!

We were only doing 10/15 mph btw.

i know i know

ive actually been in a couple of close calls that should make me think twice before jumping on a motorcycle with anyone with anything other than regulated stuff on....but its usually spur of the moment and i have normal street clothes (or a sundress :-o...or something on)...

i know thats no excuse but i cant wear that stuff all the time incase someone shows up somewhere on a bike...

but i know youre right.

There's more and more bike gear around that doesn't make you look like a complete twonk. BMW and Dainese are especially good. I'd be crippled several times over without body armour. And I would have had skin grafts aplenty if I didn't wear leather that can slide down the road without any drama. I've had loads and loads of bike crashes but never been hospitalised.

Too many people think jeans are OK. If you come off at 70 in jeans you can get so much abrasion that you die of blood loss. And if you come off at 30 or 40 you may well need skin grafts.

Lots of American ones start at US women's size 5, which I think is 3 over here. Here are some: http://workingperson.com/products/22_355_57/1/Womens_Motorcycle_Boots.html

If you want to check them out first you could look at some men's sizes at Warr's Harley Davidson in Fulham. Not as good as trying them on but better than nothing.

 

[geminisnake]

What size are you Ruby?

 

[dodgepot]

these are nice ones. yeah they're in the men's section but they start at size 5.

quite similar to the ones i have, actually.

Hasn't Geoff got a pair like that too? Are you boot twins?

 

[dodgepot]

i just said out loud "no, we are not" and tanky leant over and said "no, you're *** *****"
