Hands & Feet - metallyguitarded_imp - 07-28-2015
Well, it was time. After nine years of wearing my Icon Super Duty boots (which continue to hold up incredibly well), I decided to order a pair of Stylmartin Indian Boots. I went with the brown, hoping it will go well with my brown Ronin jacket.

And, of course, you can't get new boots without also getting new gloves. At least, that's what I told myself. A number of you have said good things about the Lee Parks deerskin gloves and I love their styling so I went with them in tan.

The only thing left on my list of riding gear I "need" is a decent pair of riding pants. For the most part, I wear regular jeans and I know that offers about as much protection as the hair on my legs. So, Kevlar jeans, leather, or something in between? Not sure yet.
I'll post my impressions on the boots and gloves after I have a chance to ride in them.

Nice. Looks like you are ready to kick some butt!
RE: Hands & Feet - redbirds_imp - 07-28-2015
Superb gear MG, especially like the Lee Park gloves.
RE: Hands & Feet - Chapomis_imp - 07-28-2015
The Red laces are a nice touch

Is that a stock photo or a picture of your Moto Guzzi? Guzzi's are neatl!
RE: Hands & Feet - metallyguitarded_imp - 07-28-2015
Thanks guys! Can't wait to try out the new gear.
EG, I agree, Guzzis are pretty darn cool. Sadly, that's a stock photo and the bike isn't mine. Maybe I'll try to recreate the shot but with me sitting on my black CB11.

I think thats a mid 70's Eldorado.
Id pass out from lack of air trying to lace those boots up. can only hold the breath so long you know ( which is why I like valcro lol)
Love the gloves, you will too. Deerskin is awesome. I have 3 pairs.

The visual of that had me laughing. Thanks for that ferret! Haha. I imagine the peach cobbler has something to do with that.
RE: Hands & Feet - the Ferret - 07-28-2015
Mmmmm yea it does, and absolutely worth it.
RE: Hands & Feet - emptysea - 07-28-2015
same gloves and the boots that I really wanted. Bought a pair of Rocky work boots instead.
Looking good. Also, I found a place online where they will Kevlar line any pair of pants you send them...at least that's what I recall. Was thinking about sending them a pair of chinos which could complete the retro look. If I find the link, I'll post it here.
Irony in that Ferret needs to get rid of the cobbler in order to get boots.
