We had been given riding boots, made under the brand name of Orazo (by Verala Exports who are based in Noida), for use during this Passion Hunt Road trip. There are four different models, each with a unique set of features but with the common theme of being purpose made as safe riding boots. Check them out on the Orazo web-site here. You can even buy them on-line.
Specialist motorcycling boots are an expensive thing. And moreover, they are purpose made just for riding. Not something you can wear to work or even walk around, what of tracing a mountain trail once you are up in the hills and the bike is parked close to a tempting forest walk.
The biking community in our country has always needed shoes and boots that provide safety for the feet in case of a mishap, are presentable to be worn to work and elsewhere, comfortable to be worn all day and offer good value for money on the pricing front.
The boots made by Orazo are just the thing for that kind of use. They give a good amount of protection to the foot while riding, are flexible and light enough to walk around in and presentable enough to look natural in the workplace. We have been using them for more than three weeks and are quite impressed with them. Wear these shoes all day, right from the tall 12-inch I-bis to the slip-on Falco, and right from day 1 they were like we'd been wearing them for a long time. The combo of leather and foam-bonded fabric upper and a thick but light n grippy PU sole allied with a steel reinforced toe works great both on the usability and safety fronts.
The upper is made from thick genuine leather and breathable foam bonded fabrics. And the black/orange combo looks pretty slick. The sole is Polyurethane, anti-skid, resistant to acids, alkalis, mineral oils and organic fats. The steel toe-cap built to European industrial safety standards that well exceed the limits needed for riding safety. There's a thick energy-absorption cushion in the heel and seat region that helps dampen vibrations from the foot-rests while riding and softens the footstep-shock while walking. The moulded sole, also a contributor to the cushioning effect, gives a wide foot-print area and yet is not obstructive during gear-shifts and rear-brake use.
And these boots by Orazo are cost effective at that. At a fraction of the cost of specialist motorcycling boots but matching up with a lot of their features, they make great sense.
