They look cool but the cheap price makes me suspect they are not quality:

I dont know, ive had that site bookmarked for awhile now. The site gives the illusion of quality too. Thats only 80 bux more than my harley flat toe boots and ive rode with those for a decade now without problems. If i had to find a negative about the gasolina boots, i would think the zipper would fail first - boats

$189US for Mexican made boots will get you boots of decent quality.

I like the pic of the dude in full leathers reading a book in the living room- something I find myself doing all the time.  ;D

I have an old pair of old leather firemans boots.  Aside of being just a little big they actually work pretty well and are pretty tall too.

As long as they (zippers) are YKK's, they should last quite long.

I spoke with the dude who owns the co.he gave me a lil background,Handmade by old cobblers(4)with quality leather and materials,to buy them he sends you a chart on how to measure your feet(both are diiferent)and they custom make them to your foot.A great price for that kind of work.I definetely would buy them.
its better to regret something you have done,than something you havent.Except playing with explosives.

They look way better than my CNELL velcro boots. :)
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!
