$189 is great for those classic styled boots.   I'm interested in long-term reports.   :popcorn:

No protection, not waterproof.  But very stylish and good looking.  I could see a set just for wearing around.

you would require a pudding bowl helmet, and something leaky with a kickstarter to go with those boots . . .

they are nice looking copies of the old British Lewis Leathers Motorway boots or the Gold Tops.
I think you can still get new Motorways' but they'll cost you upwards of 700$ US.

189 is a great price for those!!!

My wife ordered a set of these boots the other week.  They asked for 3-measurements.  Then they told her it will take 3-weeks at the cobblers while they are custom tailored.  Bit of a lag time versus the off-the-shelf models, so I hope the quality is worth the wait.

Nice boots, but they are over 3x the cost - $631.55 USD w/o shipping.

Tack on another $75-100 USD for shipping also. UK shipping with Parcelforce over 2 Kg weight is outrageous.

Well, they'd said it would be three weeks (and that was four weeks ago), so they're only a week behind schedule.

Rince, interesting thread over on ADV.        http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=622148&page=3

Apparently the company has bitten off more than they can chew.......tremendous response on their offerings.

It seems the general consensus is that quality of these is not an issue.  Thumbsup

Today August 26 the Gasolina boots arrived, 3-1/2 months after ordering them.  My wife likes them.  They have an extra layer of leather at the ankles and toes.  They are lined with smooth leather.  I would say they are very retro looking and the feeling is softer where a modern sport touring boot is more rigid leather.  My wife says they are very comfortable, "like an oiled glove."  A modern sport boot offers more protection.  These are the protection level of engineering boots.  They are pretty fashionable, sort of steampunk.

That is a good looking boot and does your wife feel they fit true to the size?

The boots were handmade.  She had to provide three measurement for each foot, so the boots are a custom fit, exactly right.  She thinks they used baby cows because the leather is so soft, and she keeps raving about the smell.  She took a trial ride and said the boots are very supportive.
