Once again NewEnough.com has come through with flying colors. Ordered my Technic Defender Boots on Saturday Night, they show up yesterday. Fit is a little stiff but they should loosen up. After wearing Combat Boots while riding for 11 years this is going to take some getting used to.
I took a chance with the Teknic boots like I did a few months ago with their gloves. Once again I am really impressed, For the money anyway. They have the armor in the right places, look pretty much like any other boot when I am wearing jeans over them, and they are fairly comfortable to walk around it.
Best Part was $85 bucks, Normally $165 and I see them elswhere on the web for $149. I wasn't expecting much but I am surprised with just how well Teknic seems to be putting their stuff together. My Violater Pro Gloves are holding up beautifully as well.
The Teknic Defender boots are in NewEnoughs Closeout section, I highly recommend getting a pair if you want a decent pair of water proof riding boots. There are boots that are a whole lot better for sure, uh Sidi comes to mind, but for the money I think I got a damn good value.
Check them out here: NewEnough Closeout boots Like I said, there are better boots out there for more money, but if you want something that has built in armor, is water proof and will work better than sneakers or combat boots these might be the ticket.
Size wise, I ordered a 46, I wear an 11-11.5 in Us Sizes and these fit just about perfect, a little spare room to wiggle the toes and nice and snug around the heel. So their sizing seems to be about right. Zippered closure on the inside with a Burly velcro cover over that. If you wear big ass pants like I do with the wide legs they will fit inside just fine otherwise, you can tuck your jeans in.
So, What have we learned? Teknic is still impressing me with their high quality at reasonable prices, New Enough Kicks everyones ass, and Revlis likes to save a few bucks so long as the Item works as advertised and I have confidence that these boots will do their job, on the street anyway. If I were heading to the track SIDI Vertebre would be my choice...
Believe me folks, I am a picky bitch, so if I say these are a good value for the money, your not going to be dissapointed, just remember they are not going to be Alpinestars or Sidi's for $85 bucks. A definite step above Joe Rockets offerings I believe though.
