Do these boots have reinforced toe box, reinforced heel cup, and malleolus (ankle) protection? Is there any Gore-Tex or similar liner for wet weather comfort/protection? What benefit does this boot bring that is not already provided by boots offered by established mainstream motorcycle apparel companies (ex: Alpinestars Drystar Parlor Boot)?

scoootyConcise yet comprehensive...I wish I thought about using that standard.
hijodelantorchaHi, What we are doing different from every other company is offering a boot that you want to wear all day every day with comfort. Our company is made up of riders and all of us have a closet full of riding boots from adventure (built with gore-tex) to full race (built with polymers) really built for one function. We just simply wanted to make a boot for the ride to work or out around town guy, that looks great and is built to last.
scoootyRight.. and alpinestar is now doing Kevlar laces! We put a lot of thought and consideration into the laces. We decided to make them out of a thinner leather so it they were ever to get caught in a gear they will break and the only damage is for us to send you a new pair of laces free of charge.

MotoBaileyNot sure why you are having a go at me regarding what Alpinestars is doing. I never made a comparison between your product and theirs. Lose the attitude.
My concerns were more about safety, not "I wonder if I will get replacement laces free of charge hur dur".
Nothing in the description says how your product provides better protection than a bog standard pair of boots.
scoootyI am so sorry, no Attitude from my end at all, my apologies. I meant that I totally agreed with you that laces can be dicy while riding for safety reasons. I was trying to relate because I had the same concern when I saw Alpinestar and their patented Kevlar laces. My bad for the miscommunication.

scoootyi have no idea why you thought MotoBailey was "having a go at you". he was just trying to enthusiastically share some info and you went off on him. :thinking:
and then he has the decency to apologize to you. you should apologize to him lol.

scoooty" What benefit does this boot bring that is not already provided by boots offered by established mainstream motorcycle apparel companies (ex: Alpinestars Drystar Parlor Boot)? "
But you did ask for a comparison.
