Has anyone ever had these boots or known anyone to have these boots?

I know the are cheap and found a couple customer reviews that were positive. But I would like to get some SVR opinion. I'm skeptical because I believe you get what you pay for. But I need to get some boots for this season and have very limited funds and these would save me a couple bucks.

Nitro Techsport Boot.

You can do better. They are just like the Nitro jackets. You do get what you pay for. Search for the Oxtar boots on closeout.

Yup that's the 2 things it has going for it right now.

Also to add. I'm not doing track days or anything like that. Just want to get a protective boot that will be alright for riding and a little bit of walking around when I stop.

i have Icon field armor ..yeh a lil expensive but they already saved my foot..i stunt and they work well for it.. but they suck to walk around in unless u unzip them. I belive u get what u pay for and protection is not a time to be cheap..best of luck and try ebay or sales at ur local shop.. keep the shine side up

I bought a pair of these last winter. Feels like a bedroom slipper, very cushy. But very hot in the summer. I found a new pair on Ebay for $60. Worth that easily. High toe thickness, had to adjust shift linkage to use .

I was looking at the field armor boots but they look a little to bulky in the toe. Plus some of the reviews I have read say you can't feel the shifter. Maybe most riding boots are like this IDK all I have ever worn were work boots. I also was thinking about JOE ROCKET SUPER STREET MOTORCYCLE BOOTS. But would like to save the extra $50 if possible.

Well I bit the bullet and bought the AGV Sebring 2 boots from Kneedraggers. Read a bunch of reviews and decided this is going to be my first official riding boot. I hope I made the right decision. I'm gonna find out!;D

I have a pair of Nitros (not the ones pictured but their older version) I bought at Mid-Ohio in 2004. They have been crashed in with no issues and have had the toe sliders worn down. I paid $79 and can not complain for that kind of money. Comfortable, too. And after almost 5 years I am finally looking to replace them due to various seems splitting, sole worn, toe worn, etc.
