Review on πŸ‘ž Tactical Sport Military Coyote Men's Shoes by Bates - High-Performance Footwear for Professionals by Eric Aulia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Toe cap too big over toe

I bought these boots primarily for off road riding (s1000rr). While the boot overall felt well made and true to size, the toe box was slightly oversized. In the end I returned them. First, there was too much room in the boot over the toes. It's like my toes are just floating in an open suitcase with no shoes on top. That made shifting, meaning pulling up on the shifter, harder because the toes had no leverage. (Imagine ski boots that are a size too big, or just too big at the toe; they would have trouble pivoting effectively.) Second, the outside of the toe was too high. Imagine the same height as steel toe boots, but of course they don't have a steel toe. It looked lame, but more importantly, it was difficult to change gears because it was difficult to get a boot under the shifter quickly. On the plus side, they had good ventilation for summer rides. Four stars for the overall fit and finish considering the price.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised
