teknic race boots

blown7.3lps · 10-06-2008, 07:46 AM

i just bought a pair used on ebay, size US 12 wich is my regular shoe size. i probably should have got 10's or 11's. but winter sox helped fill in that gap pritty good. so it was my first ride on my cbr and it felt way weird to shift with the boots on over shifting with just my sneekers wich is what iv been riding with all the time now these last 3 months.

more effort was used to shift, but i am sure that is due to the fact the boots restrict a lot of movement that a sneeker does not.

is it just something i need to get use to?

Break them in and they'll feel fine.

I just went out for the first time the other day with full on dirt boots, talk about ambiguous shift feel.

ya, probably true, iv been riding my dirt bike with sneekers for ever. have never worn MX boots. probably should, but never have. i bet that would feel different as well. ill just have to hop on the bike more with the boots on and get a feel for it.

down shifting was no problem, the upshifting was were i noticed the big differents in feel.
