Satyen: somehow missed out on your query

.
The shoes are still going strong and I use them almost everyday. The 'water resistance' is 'water resistance' and not 'water proofing'. Moderate rains and/or splashes while riding were handled quite well by both Picus and I-bis. Falco has an elasticized band near the ankles on both sides of the shoe and elastics cannot be made water-impermeable.

Check out what I've written above. The shoes have not given any four of us any problems whatsoever till date. Seem good value for money.

Anirudh: I have not faced any special problems while wearing shoes with thick soles and I have always worn thick soled shoes.

If you order online at the website, your pair will be delivered to your address anywhere in India by courier.

Mr. Orazo Boots, Are you online? I wanted more help. I want to purchase these boots, and my queries are:-->

1. I have the Cash in hand required. So, how can I order online, as I'm in Ajmer. I mean, how should I go about it, and when should I pay actually?
Can I pay after delivery?

2. Is it true that they can sustain a Car Weight on the toe? I remember Satyenpoojary mentioning somewhere, that a car's rear wheel was on his left foot, and he didn't notice it until he tried lifting his foot, all credit to some Iron Sole Shoes.

3., How durable they are accod. to time and what is the warranty offered by the company?

Kindly reply to this.. If it lasts anywhere from 3-4 years and other factors are in favor too, I'll get a pair for myself.

@ Old Fox: Thank you Sir, your feedback has inclined me towards purchasing these.

I have one such multipurpose boots. Normally all guys working in a manufacturing plants will have such type of safety shoes. I have been using such one for nearly three years. It too has a steel toe. This shoe also contains a sole made of Polyurethane, which is anti-skid, resistant to acids, alkalis, mineral oils and organic fats. These shoes are heavy and you can even kick a wall with full force, yet there won’t be any damage to sole or our toes. You don’t need a protection pad for the shifting area. These are real tough.

But the pad part is, don’t take this shoes to track. They completely lack feedback and also with these shoes it’s a bit difficult to position your feet in the peg when you are about to enter a corner. The thick soles are the reason for it. Also you are bound to lock up your rear brakes very easily due to lack of feedback.

For normal riding and walking, ya, its pretty good. But people with sensitive feet, pls stay away. The feet will sweat like a pig and some might feel irritation in the feet, if you happen to use normal socks.

The one I have, had, will look similar to Coot all black. If you guys need, I can post the pics.

@Samarth 619 : What satyen told is true. Steel toe shoes are real tough.
@Satyen : All the field employees in my company are compulsorily made to wear these shoes. We have a branch in Mumbai too

Hi Samarth,

Payment: If you wish to pay cash, or by cheque - as against by a credit card - we have developed some options. They are not yet up on the website, but if you mail at tne contact us id (info@orazosafety.com); I shall guide you through the process.

Toe protection: The boots have a toe impact resistance of 200 Joules, and a compression resistance of 15 kN. This roughly translates to a 20 kg load dropping from a height of 1 meter (the impact resistance part); and a 1,500 kg static load (compression resistance part). The load transmitted on one wheel of even a big sedan would be no more than 500-600 kgs - so it should take care of a car running over the wearer's toe.

Warranty/ Durability: We, as a manufacturer offer a one year warranty on the boots. As a user, you will find the life to be more. Old Fox got his first pair of Orazo from us nearly four years back - so maybe you can check this issue from him.

Hi GP_freak,

The issue of sweating and irritation is related to the breathability of the boot. One characteristic of a well made boot is the usage of materials and design to ensure good breathing. It is not that all metal toe boots will cause sweat and irritation on the feet - Orazo certainly do not!!

The feedback received from the All India Passion Hunt riders very much corroborated that. They used it for several hours at a stretch, in reasonably warm conditions; and seemed to have been pretty comfortable.
