Macie_UK 0 Posted April 17, 2012 If you can stretch a teeny bit more there are some TCX available from the same place:http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/2018-tcx-s-race-motorcycle-boots.htmlIn a selection of neg colours though, they are OOS of black.Or the Competizone S at Moore Speed Racing:http://www.moorespeedracing.co.uk/tcx-sidi-richa-motorbike-boots/tcx-competizone-s-racing-motorcycle-boot.htmlwith a few quid off for the forum discount Big fan of TCX stuff, so I may be a bit biased.

2wheels 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Personally I'd never go wk tcx again. I have some oxtar. (they rebranded a while back) they were old stock so I go em for £60 however 8 months on with little use the toe slider has come off on one side and both the ankle protectors are now poking through the questionable material on the sides. I had some lidl specials for 3 years before that with no issues. Gave em to a mate who had a 125 I want em back now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of those 2, the RSTs look better.Ghostbikes do some sporty looking Blytz boots for 59 quid.Sportsbikeshop do some Spada ST1s for £99.Any of these any good?

aceuggy 0 Posted April 22, 2012 Would you buy used? I've been keeping half an eye out for some new boots as well. Alpinestars often come up on Evilbay at decent prices. Might be worth a lookee. Only thing that puts me off is the sizing. You can't try before you buy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydog 0 Posted April 30, 2012 been in j&s today and tried these on but came home and ordered on line as they were £99.00 in the store lol http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/shop/boots/sports/seb094-fury-sport-boot-black-silver.html only walked round the shop in them they were comfy enough but sturdy also Frank Thomas is a well known brand so it made sense to buy them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
