thats a good price if there the ones am thinking of tried some arlen ness I found it was like wearing a cast prob ok when broke in but i wouldnt have been able to fet on the bike in them.

bargain for 89 notes, i nearly got a similar pair (bottom pic) and karl harris wears them too. make sure they fit, get to a shop and try them first, i tried them and they didnt fit me so had to get Alpinestars

Would i be better off with a pair of Alpinestars? Looking to spend around the £100 mark.

Boughts some Arlen Ness leathers, thought it'd be nice to be matching

boots are boots really, i got the A* as they fitted my fat legs.

for 89 you wont go wrong with them...

yep, would of saved me a lot of money if they fitted instead it was the 300 quid A* that fitted

personally i would spend the extra and get the newer ratchet strap ones, velcro wears off im hoping the ratchet doesnt

Cheers for this

It looks like the ones in the link are the WP version of the 1064 ones tho.... Mmmm, could be worth spending a bit more.

Just tried a pair of Sidi Vertigo's on this afternoon.... Think i'm going to go with a pair of them.

Found them a lot more comfortable and a better fit than the Arlen Ness and Alpinestars. More expensive too which is typical!!

Quite small fitting; usually buy a 10, need an 11 in these

i just bought some vertigo s last week. I haggled the price down from 189 to 150. I love em. Really comfy and look smart. I now wear them on the outside of me trousers rather than under as i did wi me last boots
