    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.

    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.

  • @tinks43

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

  • @brockett
    @brockett 5 років тому +3

    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.

    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

    • @Yowzoe
      @Yowzoe Рік тому +1

      @@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.

    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.

    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).
