Another good review of something else I'm going to want to buy? Seriously Stuart. I'm starting to think I should skip watching your videos altogether and give you my credit card details. That way you can just order for me any items you make a review of. The effect on my bank account balance would be about the same, but at least we would streamline the process and I would get a nice surprise in the mail once a week.
Thank you Jorge! This Stuart channel is draining my bank account as well😅 After watching these excellent and interesting videos I have managed to upgrade my RE Interceptor substantially! So, Stuart, I am joining your buying service👍😎
The “Stuart Box”, a monthly subscription box of useful motorcycle/camping and general use equipment sent to your door monthly, or every two months for a nominal fee.
Don't listen to this man, you'll lose your shirt! I can't stop watching his product reviews & keep buying what he recommends, always great gear. He's evil 😭
I have the black version for 1+ years, and they are more comfortable than some non motorcycle boots I had. I can walk all day in them. And the zipers makes them sooo pratical.
Well done Stuart, thanks for bring this to us. One thing I noticed is that you appear to have done up your laces into a "Granny Knot" as I used to do . I now take the lace, for the second loop, around the other way and make a reef knot. Although it is tricky to start with , they never come undone and I can abandon the double tie that I used to make especially with round laces. I only say this because I see that once the laces on those boots are tightened to your requirements they should stay as they are and the zips used.
These look good. I've been wearing the Stylemartin Ace and the side zip is very handy. I've just snosealed them and they look like they have a few years left in them yet.
hi Stuart just went and bought myself a pair of these aviator boots and what a revelation so comfy last pair of boots i bought felt like they were crippling me that is after I had nearly had a heart attack putting them on which sometimes made think of going back to bed I was that exhausted well pleased
I have been in search of the same type of boot. I bought a similar pair off of Amazon, just flushed that cash down the toilet, zipper broke within a month. Thanks for the “Rainey day” review.
I bough the exact same pair two months ago and found them fantastic. I also found FC Moto was a great customer service group who contacted me to check the size in USA, which I went up to a 46 vs, 45. Perfect fit and fast delivery. Everything you say is correct on these, fantastic and stylish boot which is perfect for me.
How are the Falco Aviators holding up now, three years down the road? Looks like they've stopped making them, but there's a few out there still -- may have to order from Europe. You say you went fron a 45 to a46 -- what is your U.S. size. Mine is 11...would you recommend a 44 or a 45? ty
@@Yowzoe my US size is 11 if wearing normal thin socks. With these I typically wear smart wool hiking socks, not the thick one but more of summer grade and the size fits. Boots holding up very well. No wear on the heal but I don’t do a lot of walking, just riding. but I do get some wear top from shifting gears so I have repolished maybe 1 or 2 times a year to keep the color even. I still recommend them and would buy again big I needed another pair
@@roadiejim11 thanks, your info is very helpful. The thing s slowing me is the sizing, and as they aren't available to try on anywhere (I'm in the U.S.). That might be a wrench in the works. Many people say it fits true-to-size, but though you're an 11 a 46 (12) fits you best. The idea of returning it to Germany is a huge disincentive. Love this boot, dislike or hate just about all the others. I get hot feet, so the quick entry and egress are esp. appealing. Oh well, it's a good first-world problem to have!
I’m hesitant for the same reason. The sizing. Have Sidi’s in a 44 but they are snug. Wear a size US 10 but my foot measures 11 inches so I might be an 11 or EU 45. Appreciate any thoughts on sizing. Thanks
Yes, you sold me. Here in the heart of North Texas, I had Moto Liberty (the local Falco dealer) get me a pair of 46’s. Incredibly comfortable and of course looks great with my Belstaff jacket (fashion first!). My time-worn Sidi touring boots still do best on 800 mile days on the R1200RT, but the Falcos will only do on the RE INT 650. Money we’ll spent.
Looks like a great replacement for the old leather Gaernes I have, likely lower cost than getting the old ones re-soled and replacing the broken zipper! Thanks!
Nice, ive been looking for a new pair of waterproof boots, been riding in British army para boots for the last 15 years and while i do love them they will let in water during prolonged downpours.
Omg these are exactly what l am looking for thanks for your fine review Stuart l shall try to find a pair l live in Australia so l hope we have some in this country once again brilliantly done
Thanks Stuart for your videos, l just bought a pair of Falco Aviator boots, great fit and very comfortable, love the zips. Also thanks for your videos on how to install both the fly screen and engine protectors on the 650 Interceptor in which I've done. Cheers Neil
I agree with Jorge! Outstanding videos. And I have many of the items you've reviewed that are fun to put on to my 2019 Bonny T100. I thank you for your excellent videos that have made my dropping in to Triumph ownership even more enjoyable than the bike alone--which I adore. All the best--Phil
Great looking boots. I usually ride in military boots but I'd rather have one that looks more civilian. These fit that profile, and the price is very good too. Now I'm considering buying them too... thanks for the review!
What a Brilliant design, and waterproof, in today's world they arnt too expensive, I paid more for a lovely pair of REDWINGS but they arnt waterproof for more than 2-3 hours, then your socks are stained...lol Another quality video Stuart. I look forward to every one. I need to get my wife hooked so we can watch them on our big screen!! Thank you.
Good looking boots Stuart. I've had a pair of Altberg Hogg lace up boots since 2000. hand made in Richmond. Superbly comfortable and always waterproof but I know what you mean about the faff with lace up boots.
Got a pair of Falco boots myself. These do actually have heal armour but as it is D3O it isn't as obvious as the ankle plates as it only stiffens up when its hit hard.
Nice boots Stuart , I’ve a pair of Falco Ranger in brown and like yours these are most comfortable ..... I think I might have a look at these as well.... there goes my monthly allowance from the other half , oh dear ...😉.... regards Fred
The zips are in a good position. I wonder how long the membrane will last. Most 'waterproof' boots are at first. I only trust Gore-Tex. Great soles. I like these boots.
Fit like a glove. I just wish they had gear change enforcement, as wear is now showing. I Dubbin them often and so far (one year), they are still serving me well despite the monsoons and heat waves here in Thailand.
Lovely boots! Have you checked out RE's boot range? They have one which I rather like- Leo. They have side zippers and no laces - I'm rather wary of laces as last time I crashed, the laces on my caterpillar boots wore through. They stayed on , fortunately. Best of all, the Leo's are only 4500 rupees.(£45 or so).
Another cracking video Stuart.. Good enough to be Falco official marketing video, let’s hope they see it. Question, I heard at a local motorcycle meet that someone is starting to do a conversion kit to convert GT Continental to an Interceptor. Have you heard about this and if so who is it ? Many thanks, keep up the good work..👍🏼
Damnit Stuart, you need to refrain from these products reviews. My wife is at wit's end with my Falco boots, Trip Machine tool wallet, Motone fly screen, RE bar end mirrors, seat cowl, oil cap and other things. So if you see a thumbs-down on one of your videos, it's not me, it's her. So keep up the good work. 😉
Enjoyed your video. Stuart are you aware of a shim kit for the interceptor front brake leaver, it is very loose and the action is not ideal. I have looked at other interceptors and they all seem to have a lot of play in the vertical axis.
looking good,, but you didn't mention the sole construction, they look not to be welted, IMO welted is a must for resoling. please correct me if I am wrong
Great review thanks. I'm considering an identical pair in the same size (EUR 45) which, in my experience is a UK 11. However the label on these states UK 10.5. How have you found the fit? Are you a UK 10.5 or 11 so I know whether to go up a size to a 46? Thanks
Hi Stuart could we have a update on the falco aviators are they holding up ok? are you still just as keen on them now as when you bought them?. interested to know as there on my short list.. cheers
Stuart (and others who own these boots), How does the sizing for these boots compare to your other shoes? I’m considering ordering a pair (and the possibly the army green Lennox, as well), but I’ll most likely be importing them from outside my country (the states) and want to be reasonably sure they’ll fit. Thanks!
Hard to find a place in the US with these in sizes. I called the importer of Gianni Falco boots and they said they didn't even have this model to sell direct nor were there many US retailers wanting to take on a new brand. My feet are a 10.5/10.7 US. Does anyone know how close these sizes are as I will likely have to order them from Australia or the UK. Thanks.
I'm in the same boat. Also it looks as if the boot is discontinued. However there are a few in Europe online, and it's just about the only boot that I really like (inc. the fact that they are easy-on and off. I'm size 11 US. Did you get a pair, and if so, how are they sized? ty
@@Yowzoe sized pretty well. I went Yo a shoe store and got measured in euro sizes to be sure. That said the overall quality is good, but the fabric binding the zipper to the tongue began to separate pretty quickly and I will need to find a cobbler willing to repair them.
@@leepeffer1304 thanks for the quick reply! You're between a 10.5 and an 11 -- that's acutally me, too, though a bit closer to 11 usually. Can I ask you if you got a 43 or a 44 in this boot? thanks again I'm a bit nervous as I'll be ordering from Germany!

Like the zip idea, my late father used to add a single lace in zip to his army boots for ease 👍🏻

Nice boots and review. It's a commando sole, used often by my favourite shoe maker, Loake.
bought these boots last year, very comfy and as you say easy to get on and off
Stuart, I brought a pair about a month ago way after your review but totally agree with your comments 👍
Just bought a pair for delivery. Thank you for the review!
I’m still wearing my Revit Marshall boots. They took a while to break in. The Falco boots look nice 👍
Thank`s for letting us know, Stuart. Great boots for riding and walking. Spot on fit and a secure feeling. Thumbs up!

I have been in search of the same type of boot. I bought a similar pair off of Amazon, just flushed that cash down the toilet, zipper broke within a month. Thanks for the “Rainey day” review.
I have the Patrol boots - they are quite comfortable and have lasted well. Look fine to wear around the office, too.
Lovely pair of boots Stuart, please try and stop making me spend money - every week 😂👍🏻
Damn. Now you sold me a new pair of boots. Can I afford to keep watching? Very nice kit.
I received mine today. Quite comfortable although they are new. And they're looking great. Thank you for the review.
Great recommendation! Thanks Stuart.

I had some Falco boots, trouble was the sole was very thin and I wore them out, now have some TESts to boots, while not as comfortable are great
The type of sole is the old commando sole either sewed on or screwed to bottom sole i used in the forestry industry
Good looking boots Stuart. I've had a pair of Altberg Hogg lace up boots since 2000. hand made in Richmond. Superbly comfortable and always waterproof but I know what you mean about the faff with lace up boots.

Thanks for this review Stuart! I’ve been searching for a good pair of boots and these are exactly the style I was looking for!
Love the boots Stuart, quality video just checked out their website, checked out motone one too
Looks like a Vibram sole, nice boots.
I believe the design of the sole pattern is called “Cleated”. It also looks like you’ve added another thing to my list.
Ordered a pair 👌

Just about to buy a pair of these myself.
Bought a pair of these from Webb's Lincoln great boots
TCX Hero are another option, lace ups with zips and waterproofing...

looking good,, but you didn't mention the sole construction, they look not to be welted, IMO welted is a must for resoling. please correct me if I am wrong
i m going tomorrow to buy a pair of these
Nice boots!
Nice boots altbergs for me made in North Yorkshire
Tha does reight lad
They only do upto size 47 so knocks us big lads out... they do look very nice though.
Bought a pair in black for £120- today in a clearance sale. 😁

What do you think of the Royal Enfield Huntsman boots?
Hi, would you say that these boots were a wide or narrow fit? I like plenty of toe wriggle room, so need a wide fit!
They are a standard fit.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I think they are called Commando soles
what is the tune that you are using at the being of the video?
I recommend Altberg boots in North Yorkshire. Keep it in the county, Stuart.
I read a few online reviews and people complained that the zip broke after a few weeks
How's your shoes holding on ?
still good
Has anyone ordered anything from FC - Moto since Brexit? I was wondering if delivery cost is affected in any way.
Good review..
How would you rate the size, is it big or small .. I swing between 45 work shoes and 46 sneakers and 46 MC boots
sizing worked out spot on for me.

I went up half a size to be on the safe side Rob, they are a perfect fit.
Thanks - A pair is now on the way... and, as with so many other products, thanks for turning us on to these!
