Boots: Going to try Oxtar boots

TornadoB8 · 02-12-2008, 11:07 AM

Just ordered a pair here Oxtar TCS Evo Replica RX Motorcycle Boots :: New Enough Motorcycle Apparel

Couldn't resist the price and my Sidi pair was purchased around 2001-2002 so it was easily justified.

Looks like a great buy...they don't have my size!

deftones156 · 02-12-2008, 02:52 PM

My buddy just got his at Christmas (the regular ones, not the replicas) and he loves them! I tried them on, and the juxtaposition of the plastic and plastic/leather is really great! You can be a ninja in these boots, unlike my A-stars SMX+ which hit about 85db during a fast walk...

"slim to narrow foot" rules me out.

Yeah...my Sidi make a helluva racket too. You can here me comming from 100 yrds.

Not sure what model Oxtar I have, but they squeak like mad, worse than my Sidi Vertebra boots. WD40 works for a while.

proto · 02-12-2008, 05:46 PM

Just checked, they are plain vanilla flavour Oxtar TCS boots, oldish, maybe three years. Look very similar to the link photo, but plastic rather than metal sliders. I would disagree about the noise and fit - very noisy and wide fitting (wider than Sidi, at least)

Spray Pam on the joints that make noise.

Nice buy wish these fit me. I'm in the slim deparment. Stuck with the Sidis

TornadoB8 · 02-14-2008, 03:47 PM

Arrived today. Tried them on first thing....man are they nice! Hat's off to Newenough once again. Only took 3days form order to delivery.

luvtolean · 02-14-2008, 04:09 PM

Are those the 45s? What size shoe do you wear?

I saw the chart, and my Daytonas are 45s, but 11s are sometimes too small for me...

TornadoB8 · 02-14-2008, 07:51 PM

Yes they are size 45. I wear 11 in most shoes and these feel pretty comfy.

DrHall · 02-14-2008, 09:28 PM

Anyone know how the Oxtars fit compared to SIDI?

I usually wear an 11 US shoe, but need a size 46 in SIDI.

As a matter of fact my old pair are Sidi Race Vertabra. I'd say they are very comparable in size. The Sidi may be a tiny bit more narrow...emphasis on tiny.

bwhip · 02-14-2008, 11:00 PM

I'd agree that the Sidis may be just a tad more narrow, but both work fine for my size 12's.

luvtolean · 03-01-2008, 05:32 PM

These fit fine.

I've ridden a couple hundred miles in them over the last two days. The ventilation works, and mine don't squeak, yet anyway. Pretty comfortable to wear, and easy to walk in. I feel a bit naked wearing them compared to my Daytonas, but overall for $160 I consider them a good value.

I just picked up some of these for road work with the GS.

Got em fast as usual and they look pretty decent. Did not realize they were GoreTex when I ordered but it was a pleasant suprise.

Now just to USE them...will be exciting
