  • @burnrubbernotursoul thank you there was some confusion about the sizing, now its clear.

    @Satyen

    my average daily commute is 12kms x 4 = 48 kms on the highway itself my college is adjacent to NH4 (makes it easier to get away )

    but well ahem i can wear chappals to college for all i care

    these boots will be used for mostly touring !

    well at present my budget extends till 10k at most.. ill be really really poor after this purchase my udhari khata (Credit book) at various shops will start from today

      Aaah Touring... ! Well Well, then it makes sense! I seem to have forgotten that form of riding

      Its not about wearing chappals or something, its about where will you keep your gear when you plan to change shoes! those boots are huge n bulky!

      BTW Touche, have my home and office near two major highways.... Infact my office is near to NH4... just that its at the other end

      My average commute begins in NH8... from Home to Office.... Thats Vasai to Vashi... and then from office to college.... thats Vashi to Vileparle... and then from College to Home... thats Vileparle to Vasai:P

      Anybody interested in plotting/mentioning the distance

        • Can you guys please suggest me a sports shoe while commuting??? I mean I go to University everyday through busy traffic... I have to put my foot down often in the signal...... Thats when I feel that the shoe I wear now is skidding often......The sole has become almost plain..... I do not want to buy an expensive one because of the Toe Shifter.......
          I need a Sports show with good grip...the shoe will be used extensively for city riding....My budget is around 1000 Rs......
          Plz help......

                            Thats what they said to me too... then after a week or two on a reminder call they said that the courier company lost the invoice.... so they didnt send it to me (and strangey didnt send it back too... ) so they are sending it now, and i should get it in 2 days.... and after a week they said.. they forgot dispatching it... so I should 100% get it in 2 days now... and then I finally got it after 4 days

                            Smooth!
