Review on Joe Rocket Atomic Men's Motorcycle Riding Boot/Shoe: Ultimate Performance and Style by Brian Graham

I'm not the type to buy anything without careful research and I'm sorry to say that these shoes/boots don't match my research. I was very excited to get them, couldn't wait to try them on my bike; before I even put them on, I was disappointed. First of all, the black rubber strap holding the shoe looked old (it was dry, cracked in places and one of the rivets came loose from the leather). The white one was also quite worn as it was a brand new shoe. Those were all things I could ignore. until I put them on. At first I thought there was something in there, maybe I missed some cardboard holding the top of the shoe in place. So I stuck my hand in and realized that what I was feeling was part of the shoe. Let me try to explain this; It seems like there is some extra material inside the shoe and instead of cutting it out, the manufacturer just glued it to the upper of the shoe. The problem is that it seems to have separated and is now a triangle of pain, hitting you right at the first joint of your big toe. Imagine this if you put your toe on top of your big toe and trace it to the first joint (point your thumb down and you'll see), that's where you'll feel it. him back, and he is sealed again; it's not like this. I then tried to just ignore the pain and wore them around the house for an hour, they wouldn't go away and when I was done the patch hurt for hours. Now I did some research and could only find one review on another site where a guy pointed out the same issue as mine. Most of the time I just assumed it was defective and ordered another pair. However, the guy stated that he tried three more with the same problem. I really don't want to risk that so I'll be returning them for another shoe. ADVANTAGES: - Cheaper shoes; won't destroy your wallet. - Looks great, lots of color options. - I love the design, it's really aggressive. - The buckle at the top is nice, easy to use and decent to put on and take off. what I bought). CONS: - Triangle of absolute pain in both boots/boots. - cheap; The material (other than leather) feels and looks cheap. - I liked the cool crop. until I walked into it. - The white color (as to be expected) shows slight wear. - The sole is stiffer than I thought, more like stomping than walking. In general, if there was no painful triangle in the shoe, I would have kept them. To be honest I think this shoe is out of date and out of production and has aged in the box. 4/10 do not recommend.
