Biker boots - which for classic look

Hi,

I've been looking around, trying to find some good looking boots but I'm not exactly spoilt for choice.

So far, these are the contenders:

NewRock 7604


NewRock MR005


Demonia Riot 12


Demonia Disorder 303


Demonia Attack 10 (altohugh a bit short)


Demonia Gravel 14



Strangely, these types of boots are only found in punk/goth shops..
I really don't want any cowboy slip ons..I tried them and they suck.
As in examples above, they need to either have laces or buckles to allow for tight fit.

Do you know any other brands that do calf high biker boots in similar style?

Many thanks in advance.

Marcin

Hmmm they all look a bit gay/poser to me, far to much going on with them but would possibly look ok with combats?

Wow can't imagine why

Ouch.

Well since I wear an open face helmet with aviator googles, I guess that's already gay/poser so I might as well go for such boots to complete the look.
Just to make sure nobody has any doubts :)

I wear the gay cowboy slip-on type with a single zip on the inside, and they were rock solid for years until the sole split from overuse. (I tended to wear them casually after I had got off the bike). Probably would have lasted even longer had they not been cheap ones. I got them for £70 off eBay so I cant complain as they did last nearly four years of constant wear.

I wore these for a while after but had to return them because one of the straps broke due to a manufacturing defect. They seemed ok otherwise but this may explain why they are on discounted sale price now.

I always thought these looked good but they were a little out of my price range at the time and they may not be tall enough for what you are looking for. I have a few bits of HELD gear though and its all been good quality stuff.

When I wore cruiser boots my leather jeans were always riding up over the top and annoyed me a lot. Getting tall ones is a must I would think - unless you tuck them in of course (?!)... these are a cheapo option. I always go for cheapo incase I don't like them anyway!

I have always worn the type of leathers that go on the inside of the boot. If you have nice boots on, you gotta show 'em off

I've got a pair of those two pairs actually coz I bought size 45 first (long story) I'm gonna stick them on Ebay for £50 when I get round to it, to stop your pants blowing up you need some jodhpur clips for horse riders (cheaper than biker ones) they're like mini braces and go under your boot to keep pants from blowing up.

Oh My God ! I'm in the "Gay Cowboy Bracket" I like the top ones NewRock 7604 they look cool without being to goth style

I'm a bit jealous of all you village people wannabes really, my little fat legs would make me look like a pair of boots with a head sticking out of the top if I wore that style

Glad you mentioned the issue with these though Joe, as I was thinking of ordering some as they don't go to high up my little stubbies.
Marcin's well timed thread has saved me a crap buy it would seem, thankfully.

This is the usual Cruiser attire for summer isn't it ?


Only coming from sportsbike's it's a complete wardrobe change.

I think they may be slightly cheaper on this site.

I hear good reports about these .....

Though I like my army surplus ones ... £25

i'm quite happy with my old austrian army winter boots, never let any water in and warm as toast

I personally like those very high lace up Doc Martins (skinhead boots) My old cruiser boots are relegated to doing Tesco shopping now I don't have a cruiser . The main problem with trousers riding above the boots is if the rim is too wide. At least the Docs are tight to the leg. Good for kicking Harleys over too!

Ahhh, John, I can picture you now ......

The very ones! No probs with them riding up!

NewRocks are very comfortable and I'm getting a lot of positive feedback. I tried a random pair just to get the feel for size as sometimes there are discrepancies and 10 feels like 11 etc.
They're actually spot on. I picked eu44 (our 10) and they were perfect.

The 7604 will be most likely my purchase as Badger pointed out, you can get them for around 100 quid.

I'd love to have a look at army boots but not sure where to look and which are good.

I was looking at Highway No1's so thanks a lot Bunso for the review. They're off the list.

Suggest 'hiking boots' by ECCO. Very comfortable, waterproof, lace up fronts, cover the ankles, and I don't look like I'm following the crowd when wearing them (I like to think I can think for myself). Comfortable for all day walking on pavements too. Cost about £80.00 Available from most good shoe shops.




Tried to do a photo.(That's it, above) Bloody technology's beyond me
Edited by Mr Intruder to include picture from link

Everytime I click on the link above avg antivirus say's threat detected But Ecco are well known for making comfy boots and shoes

Hope I don't regret this but I took delivery of these today.
I was chatting to a mate at work after Joe said he had an issue with them and my mate has had his for about 8 months and he wears them everyday on his bike getting to and from work without issue.
So I thought sod it because they are so cheap and they are Getgeared's biggest seller I would take a chance.
Fingers crossed that I don't end up regretting this but I thought I would take a chance as they are very good with their returns.

Thanks Mr I for dealing with my techno incompetence

Clive I will to a video tomorrow to show the "techno incompetent " how to copy an external image, you will be shocked how easy it is. I would write it out but nothing works quite a video

They look a sturdy boot, riveted and stitched at the stress points

Looking forward. Ta ever so ! (who used to say that?)

By the sounds of it Dave, joe was just unlucky with his pair if your mate hasn't had an issue and the are getgeareds biggest seller.

I hope so

Dave,
When you take delivery it would be great to see a photo.

I wonder how far up the calf they go.
The price is really tempting.

Will do, I will post a pic in the morrow

I returned mine after about 2 months absolutely no problems and no questions asked. The stiching on one of the velcro straps at the back just ripped out when I was tightening it one day, so it was most likely just faulty stiching on that strap. Aside from this they were nice boots and a great price.

Good to read that you have confirmed my experience of their good returns policy

Marcin. as promised.

Cheers Dave,

Much appreciated.

How are they? comfy? can you tighten them up enough so they don't feel loose? (around instep area especially)

Very comfy on bike as well as walking, tightens up very well at all points. Very pleased with them at present, however because Joe had an issue I will keep the receipt just in case. Getgeared have a very good returns policy so it might be worth buying them, trying them & returning them if not happy.

Nice boots You never told us us about your latest mod Dave ? The lady in the engine casing mod there's just no hiding on these bikes

Just did

When
I said to her, come and take a picture of my boots, she did it straight away but I get a look that clearly indicates that she thinks I have a screw loose

Cool, at that price its worth a punt.

I thought that comes with being a biker?

Must say those boots look cool

Those boots really do look the

They certainly are

I like em to at that price
Are we starting a fan club

Not so. Definitely not so. It's just that the unenlightened majority who (poor things) have NEVER ridden a 'bike, just don't understand how truly 'together' we really are
Confused? Screw loose? NOT ME NOT US !

How true
I was speaking to a guy last night up in Coleville about bikes and he said he had often thought about passing his bike test but just never seemed to get around to it. I spent the next hour talking bikes and trying desperately without really realising it, to push him on in to passing his test.
Have we got a screw loose? No we are just passionate about our love of biking. When you love something as much as we do, you can't stop yourself from trying to helping others to see the light that illuminates your life.

I can relate to that. Sadly no one seems to be interested in bikes apart from one person that's expecting twins and simply can't afford it.
Few got superbikes but they're hardly passionate about it. No clue why.

Possibly that's the reason I can't wait for events/meetings. Finally Ill be around people that appreciate the bike, the biker and the stupid amount of hours put in to make it look perfect.

Yeah I think cruisers get a different kind of biker to most other types of bike. Cruisers demand attention and love by the bucket load

Boots arrived...wohooo

Well that was one "wohoo" too early.

I can't believe this shit.
On first try to put them on:


So much for a bargain :7348:

:midfing: :midfing: :midfing: :midfing: Highway!

Oh dear send em back then, at least they are good for returns.

I always grab the top of the boots when putting boots on. I learnt years ago to my misfortune that those things are more about look than function

That Sucks Marcin I bet your gutted :aghh:

Thats a real bummer
