    anyone else buy these boots?

    http://www.newenough.com/setup_gran_prix_boots_page.htm

    I ordered a pair of these as street boots, and for the price/feature set, they seemed a decent street/trackday-every-now-and-again boot.

    Anyone bought these/have any impressions on the quality? Obviously I don't expect Daytona quality out of a sub $150 boot, but given the makeup of the type of riding I do, I thought it might be a good compromise. In any case, new enough has better than great return policies, so if they suck out of the box, back they go towards a pair of Sidis.

    Appreciate any thoughts about em if you have/or have seen them.

    Cheers,
    Chris

    But when we ride very fast motorcycles, we ride with immaculate sanity. We might abuse a substance here and there, but only when it's right. The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. If you go slow and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

    I can not comment directly but they look suspisciously like my bogus sport boots.

    What appeared to be carbon fiber was in reality vinyl

    Synthetic leather, hide of the Nauga will melt when heated by friction

    Better than sneakers not up to track day

    Eh, its a synthetic upper. Alpinestars/Sidi/others all have synthetic uppers...

    If the material is Nauga, I'll send em right back, but if its anything like the Lorica used on most Euro made boots, I'll keep em.

    Cheers,
    Chris
