|  Motorcycle boots...
So I finally got a good pair of boots to ride with. Couldn't find any in stores/dealerships around here so finally ordered a pair of Joe Rocket Orbit's from Newenough.com. Not smart, I know, but I was previously just wearing sneakers when I was riding. My first impressions after going for a decent ride yesterday with the boots on.... I HATE THEM! I'm sure it will just take some getting used to but I hate the numb feeling. I just don't feel as connected with the bike (shifting and braking). It also seems difficult to get the boot under the shifter to upshift. Anyone else have similar issues or suggestions for me. I will continue to wear the boots to be safe even though I am not crazy about them. I guess I gotta just get them broken in and get use to the different feel. This probably would not have been as big of a deal if I did things right in the first place and got the boots before the bike. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20 as they say. |
