I wish they had a pair of short boots on sale too! I need to find a pair of comfortable riding boots for when I go places that I'm going to be walking around a lot. They had a nice pair of 'stunt' boots that were short on sale for $40 but they were too stiff and not comfortable to walk in at all. Either way I'm gonna save up some money and check in there periodically next winter. I bet they've got some killer deals on stuff in the off season.

Idk about their boots but I got ther magnetic tank bag. Quality seems pretty good for the price.

I stopped at Cyclegear tonight (forgot I wanted to buy new grips  ) and picked up a pair of those $40 rain boots. I was very pleased with them. They're definitely cheap boots, whether or not they would be worth $100 normally is up for debate. I assume they're a harbor freight deal where everything is over priced normally just so they can cut the price in half for a sale and still come out on top, but either way they're good enough to be a good deal. It's not like motorcycle boots get a lot of wear anyway. They do have a piece of sewn in armor to go over the outside of your ankle, so i felt decently protected. Best part is that they're super comfortable so I'll finally have a pair of general use boots for when I'm gonna be walking around a bike night or a home depot. I'll still wear my sidi's for Saturday rides.

As far as fit, and I assume this will translate to the trackstar boots too.... I didn't see any in a size 9, which is my normal size so I was a little worried. I tried on an 8, which looked small, and was tight going on, but as soon as I got the main part of my foot past the tight ankle they fit perfectly. Room for my toes to move, probably an extra pair of socks if I need it, but not too much play. The whole boot is thicker. It took a minute to adjust with my shifter because of the thick sole and taller toe but I was fine after a few minutes. That's a shape thing though, nothing to do with the brand or build quality. I ended up getting the size 8(eur 42), and for comparison these are the sizes I have in other common shoes sitting around that fit about the same:

puma tennis shoes... us10-eur43
adidas tennis shoes... us9.5-eur43.5
timberland dress-casual shoes... 8w
sidi vertebra boots... 43, 9-9.5

so basically the boots look like the run large. I wish shoe companies would come out with a standard size chart so if you knew you wore a 9, you could just buy a 9 instead of every single pair of shoes you own being a different size.

TT, thanks for the update!!  I think I'm going to a big expo/party at the Iron Pony Store this weekend, and if I don't find something to buy there I'll pick up these boots!

It's been a few days and I've gotten in a few rides, and just wanted to mention that I still love these boots 

I've been wearing them a lot. I'd still prefer the Sidi's for a serious ride, but every trip I've made when I knew I was going to get off the bike and run into a store I've been wearing the bilt boots. Another huge bonus, is that since the inside is cloth I can wear them with shorter socks. I always hated then when I randomly decided to go for a ride before I always had to go put on full length socks because the Sidi's felt weird without them, due to that leather-like interior fabric. The tops also aren't as wide and stiff, so it's much easier to get my pant legs on over them. Someday I'd really like to get a pair of the shorter Shift boots or something along those lines because I never realized how convenient non-race boots can be!

I got mine yesterday and, while I didn't get to ride with them, I did walk around quite a bit with them and found that from the ankle up, the boots rubbed my legs raw-full length socks will be a must. The sizing seems to run a little on the small size. I wear a 10.5 and purchased a size 11. They are a tad snug. Overall, for $70, the quality is adequate and I would purchase them again.

if you paid $70 I assume you got the race boots? They're never as comfortable. mine are just the cheaper waterproof boots, so they're a bit softer. I can't even wear my normal boots to walk in for more than 4 minutes without my ankles getting rubbed up completely.

I bought the $70 pair yesterday, and they should be arriving on Wednesday the 27th!

Oooh that's such a long wait for new motorcycle toys haha. I'm so impatient with things in the mail. I'll give it one day's wait, but as of the 2nd day the only thing on my mind the entire ride home from work is checking out that mailbox!

Yeah I think I ordered at a bad time with Easter this weekend.  UPS shipped out this am from CA to OH.  It says estimated delivery is 4/27.

I ordered boots and gloves on the 12th shipping to WI.  They estimated ship date was 4/12 and I got the free shipping option so I was pretty happy with that.  The boots didn't actually ship till last friday (4/22) and the way my order status looks I'm not sure the gloves shipped with them.  Luckily I'm pretty patient with these things, but if you aren't I would just pay a little more for the quicker options.  Could be just that I bought the wrong gear at the wrong time but we'll see.  I hope everything fits because if I have to send it back it could end up being a long ass time before I get what I want.   This stuff happens sometimes when you order online so I could be an exception.  I just wanted to give those impatient people out there a heads up.
