jchin3081 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I hate going into the Dainese store. Everytime I go in, I always come out with less money. Well... At least these were on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted May 14, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted May 14, 2016 The closest Dainese store is thankfully 3 hours away. Love their gear. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchin3081 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Actually consider yourself lucky. I have one about 15min away from where I live. I don't even need a bunch of stuff that I purchased but get it because of the convenience of the store being so close. Lol. I really do need to stay away though, cause on the next visit, I think I may come out with a new AGV helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftHer Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 There's one about 30 minutes from me. Thankfully, I can't afford anything in there, so there's not any real temptation. Just dreams. Lol Find me at ShiftHer.com & My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchin3081 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 I got a pair on closeout from my local cycle gear. Those are great boots, i love mine. So far so good, but I've only worn them for a total of about an hour so far. One thing I do notice off the bat though is that these are definitely much easier to take on and off than the Sidi's I had previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geteup Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yeah for me too. Ive had mine for about 6 months and ride every day. They get better the more they get broke in and conform to your foot. The pair of boots i had before(rocket) werent as good a fit as these. Dainese definately runs narrow, but that fits my foot well. 87' Honda VFR 700 F2 (sold) 03' Honda CBR F4I (donated) 05' Yamaha R1 (sold) 15' FZ-o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably gonna regret asking you this... but I have to know. How much did you pick these up for at closeout?

Premium Member rowdy Posted May 15, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted May 15, 2016 No stores close to me. Too bad though, because I love their stuff and would gladly give them some more money. (I already have two pairs of their boots... love the fit). Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 These aren't Dainese but they do offer some protection, (especially in high water) they get peoples attention better to keep you safer and they're just damned sexy! http://www.amazon.com/Pleaser-Mens-Techno-854UV-Black-Polyurethane/dp/B003HVP4FU/ref=sr_1_37?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1464043467&sr=1-37&nodeID=11721160011&keywords=motorcycle+boots&refinements=p_n_size_browse-vebin%3A1285101011&psc=1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member ch3rryghost Posted May 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted May 24, 2016 Congrats on the boots! Picked up a pair of Nexus ($289) myself when I went in I love Dainese, I have a small variety of their gear, jackets, pants, gloves but I can't help but think these boots are a bit overpriced for what you get. This is the constant frustration as a rider and on top of which being a lady rider makes gear choices even slimmer. My local shops just don't carry products I'm interested in and what they do have, good luck with them having the right size in stock. I wanted to try on Sidi's For $20 dollars more I would have been able to purchase a boot that is more technical and from the looks of it, offers more protection. Those Vertigos retail for $315 while the next level up in Dainese are $389 pictured here I'm sure many here share my feelings about obtaining the proper gear. Which boot would you have picked if you were in my shoes (seewhatididthere)? Sometimes I just don't care to go through the hassle of buying multiple boots from Rev, waiting to try them on and then returning the ones that didn't work out assuming you find one that works. To only exacerbate the problem, not only do we have an issue with the number of options and availability, we're expected to pay top dollar and if it's one thing that really grinds my gear is to spend all the cash on something you're not completely sold on, but alas what can I do? And since I'm being whiny, can I also complain about companies that have a penchant in throwing in "girly" touches on women's gear? The lei design on the Sidis put me off quite a bit and just the gratuitous appearances of pink...argh. Again, congrats on the purchase! I'm jealous you live so close to a D-store, I'm about 1.5 hrs away myself. Too bad there aren't more brick and mortar stores from other brands, I'd love to see A* have a store front somewhere in southern California, get some competition in the area.

When I had my Sidi's, I loved them. Great track boots. Was a little of a pain in the butt to put on, maybe that's just me though. The Dainese (not the highest model) boots I picked up have been great so far since I had purchased them about 2 weeks ago. Easy to put on with the zipper in back and Velcro for adjustments plus the size seems true to fit from the shoe size you would normally wear. When it comes down to it though, any shoe protection is better than wearing tennis shoes for riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I bought a new pair of boots recently for protection against water mostly but now I want a pair that breath well, offer decent protection and come in wide sizes. so1102, wasn't it you that told me awhile back that you had a pair similar to what I just described, ankle high's I believe? If so what were they? I've been looking and can't find what I want. Thanks for any help! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
