    Yes, there is a similar id called planetdsg.com on the riding gear section. This is another way for them to present their products&advantages to customers.
    Btw, I have sent you a PM.

      This is no offensive question; appreciate a direct query!
      In fact my involvement in Orazo is a bit more - I am the promoter of the company that manufactures Orazo boots. We have other interests in the footwear industry too. Even though, I have personally been involved in putting together the range of Orazo motorcycling boots; which has really developed as a niche market slowly over the last three years or so.

      Interacting with a large number of motorcycling enthusiasts like you on this board give me a first hand look into your expectations/needs, so that we can adapt our products further. Of course, also the opportunity to present our products, and their technical features!

            I have 4 Woodland shoes-2 boots&2 sandals. Forget about the sandals. One of my boots' suede leather had got torn due to the toe-shifter. The other one held up well, but has marks on that portion which are pretty evident since it is the Camel color. On a dark tan color it should not be visible.

              @ Orazo boots- buddy, can I have your name or an Alias, because it feels very awkward to refer to someone as Orazo boots!

              So my question is with the indian summers in mind, I was thinking of a tough, durable but a little lighter than my Woodlands shoe. Do you have a website? And from where do you operate? Is it available in a few cities or all over? Because I dont think you have a presence in Kolkata yet.

              Plus, though it may be slightly off topic asking it here, its still just a suggestion, how about developing and designing a racing boot right here in India? I'm sure the cost would be much lesser, than the only option we've got- importing from abroad.
              You get the point?? :D

                They do have a website-it was posted somewhere else in the Riding Gears section I think- ::Orazo::
                Yeah, I was also thinking on the same lines-as of now we have only Cramster as a cost-efffective option for racing boots. Axo, AlpineStars etc.are very expensive for common bikers like me.

                  Ok, my name is Vir.
                  Our website has already been referred to by Sarvajit - thanks Sarvajit.
                  On the second page of this Pitstop section, there is a thread by the name of "Orazo Riding Boots" started by sunilg - one of the Castrol Passion hunt riders, talking about our boots.
                  We do not have a retail outlet in Kolkata - you will need to order online.

                  Re: racing boots - I hope our product will evolve that far in the near future, with the support and help of all you guys!!

                      Strictly speaking there is nothing called an Indian size in footwear, as no India-centric standardisation exercise has ever been undertaken. What is popular here is what is called the "Bata" sizing, which is the same as UK

                        I would like to add something to this. As Vir has mentioned, India follows the UK system of sizing.
                        However, if you notice, US size is one size more compared to the UK size.

                            This is actually the factory, not a retail outlet. But if you want to get a feel, you are welcome to drop by. Only, it would be better to come by prior appointment, so that we can be free to attend to you

                                That is a tough one!
                                We offer a six month warranty against manufacturing defects - so any problems like sole cracking up, detaching from upper, upper stitching opening up, etc. the boot will be replaced free of charge. Of course, the experience is that the life of the boots is much longer.

                                But there are no warranties for fitting.
                                We have over the years supplied several shoes/ boots made on the same lasts (moulds). The feedback is that they are very comfortable to wear, even for a prolonged period of time.
                                Great care has been taken is sizing, so the accuracy is fairly high when benchmarked to standard UK sizes.
