Hey I was about to pick up a pair of these and I was wondering if they were a good pair of street riding boots, anyone here has them, tried them, own them? Give me the good and the bad, thanks!

Might do a google search. I have read of stitching failure on the chicane product line. The higher grade tecnic stuff is good.

It may of been someone just downing the brand though. I dont own any Teknic gear. Please dont take my comment as a down on the purchase, I am only saying I read that, and have zero experince to say its true or false.

yeah, I know that lined tanked but I found some places where I can get these boots dirt cheap. I need some new street boots seeing how the ones I currently have are a bit wide so I was looking for something like the European boots where the boot is narrower. I wanted to ask someone on here that since it's a pretty specific thing to find on reviews....

yeah, I just ran into other articles saying that the rear slider bolt stuck into the foot space... maybe I'll hold out and buy a more expensive pair....

Do those have ankle support? I think they don't. This is something I consider a must on a racing style boot.

Could be a bargain though if the price stays low.

Since they have ankle support it is a better choice indeed. But spending too much over 130 that the oxtars cost is a bit vain. Unless you really have a kink for the A*s hehehe

They are both excellent boots IMO.
