Thanks, if I don't find any then will stick with Puma or Woodlands . . .

Cheers!!!

You could also have a look at jcb or cat.

If you do like something from the army surplus stores, just a tip, ask for half the price of whatever they quote

can you give a little more info on them and what is jcb and cat. . ? Any website links will help me out. . .

PS: Got a Camouflaged pant, just looking for good shoe or boots to match it up . . .

EDIT: If I get a good one for a lesser price then definitely worth going for it or else big NO from my side. . .

Cheers!!!

@Rakesh Rok have a look at these:

Safety Shoe Bazaar

Cat Footwear | Buy Cat Footwear Online in India at Best Price

The first one looks cheap and good, but what about it's longevity. . ? Have you or anyone used it, safetybazaar. . ? About the second one, CAT, the pricing seems close enough to Puma and Woodlands, . . BTW can you tell me any other brands which are good for riding and for normal days like FILA, Adidas, etc,.

PS: As this is the Diwali season, there will be discounts on almost all the brands, saw few yesterday which were like Nike and FILA, all at around 1.5k or so, what say bro . . ?

Cheers!!!

Additional: Sorry mate if I'm asking too much questions , I'm too out of this shopping stuffs so. . .

For riding don't use your regular sport shoes, two reasons:
1. They dont provide much safety as they are built for an entirely different purpose.
2. Your gear shifter will ruin them in under a week

JCB ones are good, come with decent ankle protection, steel tipped too some models are better than regular woodlands. If you don't want to spend as much as you would have to on normal riding shoes then jcb combater is brilliant. CAT is equally good, a little better than JCB. Check out the riding gears thread, m sure there should be a review somewhere there. About the website it's good, recently one of my friends placed an order from them

P.S : also have a look at the puma riding boots/shoes being sold by cramster, typical puma pricing and look awesome too

P.M me or post it in the riding gears thread if anything else, before we make this the bangalore riding gears thread

@Rakesh Rok - PUMA in price range of 1 to 1-5 is usually a fake - if you are really interested then my Bro-in law has about 10 pairs of PUMA-Ferrari/ BMW co branded 2013 summer collection that he is part of the clearance sale from our relatives shop.

PM for more details

PS: will post my New Beamers here once i reach home

Welcome to the Bangalore chapter Prakash! . Nopes we do not have a Facebook page, however, this thread is pretty much active and we have rides every month. You are always welcome to join us, anyday, anytime. We do have G2Gs as well at selected locations in Bengaluru (you would see the details of the next G2G in this thread as well when it is planned) so that you can come meet the riders, have a chat over coffee and share your riding experiences . So, do watch this space for everything! Again, a warm welcome to the Bangalore chapter

Welcome to BLR Prakash!
We don't have an FB page, but you can very well subscribe to this thread for updates. Moreover, Oct/Nov being a festive season, riding has taken a backseat. Come Dec and guys would be on a roll!

Thanks guys. Unlike Hyderabad's this thread is super active. Hope to see you all very soon. I stay close to Madiwala Total Mall(planning to shift), I can catch-up with anyone living close to this area. I guess there is a G2G tomorrow, so ride safe and enjoy! I can't even join as a pillion(if somebody allows me) since I left my helmet at home

Peace
