Toll free travelling is also expensive 😀
It most certainly is! Hahaha
At least we save on tolls. One trip to madurai will cost 1.5k in a car one way. That’s the cost of fuel for me one way. Of course dust /heat/rain. But the experience ....priceless
@@DoctorMthepodcast I live in madurai I know how you feel bro 😛
Rohit saves money in Tolls that's how it's Toll Free 😃but when it comes to riding gear he doesn't compromise on Quality.
Hahaha. Putting that toll money to good use
Useful info mate. Was looking to buy one n this is really useful
Right review at right time. I m using woodland shoe for past 4 yrs to protect my toes and covered nearly 50k kms. Past few days, I m searching for riding boots and you have given a great useful tip to me at right time.. Thnak you.
The most underrated TH-camr in India!! You keep smiling Rohith! Looks good on you.
Thank you so much
Other riders make videos & travel for earnings. He do it for passion only..That makes the difference..😊😊😊
Thank you for talking about this topic. I have always told my friends to change the armor in their riding jackets and the pads in their helmets atleast once a year since a "good" use will wear and tear them. That obviously extends to other riding gear bits like for example you covered about your old shoes literally falling off. I hope that you do expand this bit to other gear as well.
I haven't used any riding boots till date, but I'll used the information you've given before buying one. Thank you
My pleasure
TFT, Thanks for sharing this very important aspect of riding boots. I appreciate it very much.
Forma boots are amazing .. i have been using a pair for past 3 years and they’ve held up very well. Inhave ridden them in extreme cold and rain and they provided good protection. All the best in your adventures w Forma!
You are just awesome... You truly express your opinion and experience ... thanks for sharing
Very good to know info. Thanks mate!
I am a huge huge fan of your storytelling Sir. Be it a travelogue or any information about a piece of gear. They way you connect the pieces, it just blows my mind.
Loved it.... Love your passion.... Our WISHLISTS are long but not everyone is so Blessed to have it all...
Thanks a lot bro. I am searching for a good boots. Really helpful video.
Informative 👍 Thanks for making this video
Very useful and informative video. Thanks a lot 👍👍👍
Beautiful video ....... it is informative and to the point.
Very good and informative topic. Thank you for sharing. Boots really wore out quickly if you don’t use it than using and maintaining it.
always feel good watching your videos. when you are going for next big tour?
Hi. This video made an interesting point regarding date of manufacture of Riding boots which will definitely contribute to its overall life.
Considering your experience in long distance touring on bikes it'll be very helpful if you release video on parameters to look for while choosing the right shoes. Best wishes.
Hadnt thought about the "life of the material" aspect before. Interesting and informative video. Which also is a eye opener that never go behind sale items !
Also why does my attention go towards the t-shirt as well - part of your new merch ?
Thank for shareing information 👍
Such a amazing way of explanation well
The setup is CLASS 🙌🏽
Thank you.
great info for me. going to buy one next week.
Wonderfully explained👍...
Good video with great information
Thanx👍👍
Glad you liked it
Simple, to the point, classy, informative....very TFT!! No wonder not a single down vote till date. Attaboy!
Most waited video ❤️
thanks for that information
This little bit of information is gold for all of us. Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you think so
@@TollFreeTraveller I had similar ordeal that I had penned downw here: rushikeshware.in/2016/05/review-biking-brotherhood-shoes/
Interesting video,how old boots are when bought is something I'd never even considered before now,but I will consider in future.
Thanks once again for an honest and straightforward revue,keep up the good work ;0)
I learnt the hard way and hence thought to make this video. Thanks for sharing
True, I bought RYO Boots from Spartan Pro Gear somewhere in 2017. I had used it occasionally for much period and was in storage for a long time. last month when i took it to long road trip, in hot weather, after 300 kms the sole totally came off in one boot and the another was about to. I had to search for a cobbler and get them stitched on the way . Took 2 hours to get this done. So strongly advise, when we buy boots get it stitched as precaution because these adhesives give up, if stored in cupboards for many months.
Stitching is possible only in some cases. But, yes, boots that have stitched soles tend to not have that particular problem.
@@TollFreeTraveller OMG, Rohit, just replied back!!! :) Big Fan of you and your work, mate....
Can you please tell which one did you buy?
I actually saw Ryo aero tech boots on a v good sale but not having second thoughts about it.
Such an informative video bro 👍🏻
Glad you think so!
As usual informative stuff kudos rohith👍
I think this is the only video on TH-cam in India where somebody told what to really look , when buying riding boots.Thats why I really like and appreciate you.Thanks for making such informative videos.
Thanks a lot. I live, I learn, I share!
Very very useful video Ro. Bikers should think twice before ordering apparel online. I never order anything I can’t try / feel / experience. Deals apart .
All biking companies outsource their apparel. Don’t really have a production unit. The Triumph boot you used I think were the alpinestars corazols. In tamizhl we have what’s called as “aadi kalivu “ meaning the shedding of products during the tamil season of aadi. It was so demeaning to their selling product that they renamed it “aadi thallupadi” or end of season sale. This was the time that allowed them to sneak in an old stock.the issue with a long term shelved boot is that for the super adhesive holding the sole and the upper it needs constant pressure on them to keep them bound to the upper. Heat/weight keeps them together. We have seen our fathers stick our notebook bindings and put another heavy book on them overnight. Same goes with these. When we give our shoes to Dr pronto he sticks them and puts them in a lathe kinda apparatus overnight to seal.
That said we are always looking for deals. And India is I’m sad to say is a dumping ground for the international biking Brand’s poor moving stock. All the dealers of HD are protesting now not just cause of the “rude” exit from India but also with all the residual global stock of apparel/accessories they were forced to stock as part of their dealership deal. There are plans for a massive sale to push all residual stocks dating back to 2018.
Nothing wrong in taking advantage of a sale. But be mindful of
1.comfort /fit / experience. Try it walk /wear if your bike is around sit on it for at least half hour to observe it’s manners
2.manufacturing date/year- you don’t find the tags ditch it ASAP or look for the bar codes on the backside of the tongue
3.physically examine for small air pockets at the linking points of sole and upper
4.fasten and unfasten Hard a few times to weak rivet points
5.smell the leather-if it smells of fungus it’s time to ditch..a single season fungus smell will dissipate come summer. But a long term one has allowed it to seep deep into the leather .Remember folks leather is curated skin and what will happen to your skin on long term exposure to moisture..it will shrivel/shrink/chapp
6.even if it’s a non sale product look at the dates/place of production (Cambodia products reach us faster).
I did pick some brilliant gloves and apparel from BMW in this sale.
So go out there and get the best of the deals. And thanks Ro for this timely video as this is the season to be jolly with all the Thi Gs on sale. Ride safe and god speed boys n girls
I own some other pieces of gear from triumph and they have been brilliant. Courtesy their tie ups with reputed brands and the sale I have been able to get some great deals on very good gear. These boots were bound to have a limited life, but served well when they did. No regrets. But you're right that one needs to be cautious while buying older boots at least. If the deal is good, it might still be worth it.
Great review 👍
Really informative video. Keep it up brother. 👍👍
Thanks a ton
Useful 👏
You're one amazing TH-camr Rohith, I hope I get to see you someday as I'm from Chennai too !!
Happy Riding bro👍
Thank you
So informative 👌
Don't throw them man. Keep them as collectibles. U earned this🙌
Not a hoarder in this case. They've served their purpose. Need to make room for other things
Keep it as trophy I think yes
Yes this is very informative👌👌👌
Glad you think so!
Really informative video about the boots, I am using a Falco mixto boots and the same happened to it similar to the triumph boots 😅
We live and we learn. Hahaha.
This is a very important piece of information that you've shared. Will help lot of riders. Only you can come up with these sensible videos while others are just...meh...keep at it Rohit \m/
I've had the Forma Adventure knee length boots and the ankle boots since mid 2018. Lasted so far so you're good for at least a coupla years.
Valuable input. Should help anyone put the right foot forward 😀
Nicely put. Hahaha
The setup is really amazing. As usual your way of expressing the thoughts r outstanding🥳🥳
Thank you, as always!
Very Informative Video
.. never even thought about these aspects of buying riding gear. 👌👌👌
I figured that this might be something that some of us overlook. Glad to know it's proven useful.
@@TollFreeTraveller Sir ...you really have a Great way of expressing things which others don't care.
Nice piece of information.
I came here for toll free knowledge
Thanks for sharing your concoction of knowledge with experience
Eagerly waiting for the ownership review of Xpulse 200.Make it fast brother.Cant wait much more
loved the speed and absence of theatrics!
Your way of presentation is very good 👍 👌 👏
Thank you so much 🙂
Forma was earlier lesser known brands in India , now the name is coming up as most of the jurnos are wearing these , i still consider this brand as one of the best , their ice pro flow are the best racing and street riding boots i have seen . These boots were selling around 16k in delhi some 2 years back at redline racing store but i didnt know priced has increased soo damm much . I think perfomance racing store in mumbai are still selling these at 17k on their website but ya no idea about their manufacturing date. Anyways great buy & happy riding 🤘🏻
Shoes, boots whatever, any footgear has an expiry.
Always check manufacture date.
Buy close to manufacturing date.
and
Rohit, I have experienced the same and many must have. But making this video needs a thumbs up. 👍
Nice advice good for good jarny
First view. Really informative video bro. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Good one Rohit...
Now waiting for your review of these boots
nice hidden points you shared
Cheers
To the point !!!
Buddy I too am using same boots from few months, its a nice one which is good for walking too while on ride.
Vital information. I got TCX boots about 4 years ago and they have just started falling apart. Thinking of buying the new set but worried about the same thing, highnote may have imported those boots sometime back so don't know how much life they have left
Huge informative....
Glad you think so!
Just yesterday I bought the Orazo boots. Upon watching your video, I checked the box and yes there was no MFG date mentioned anywhere. Thanks for the info. I hope Orazo lasts.
Sadly, the Orazo boots aren't really riding boots. They are just glorified industrial boots. I hope that they serve you well though. Cheers!
Few days back Orazo saved my left foot's fingers while riding in traffic. In this price it does it's job quite well.
I’ve been using them for a while now in summer, monsoon and now in winter. No issues so far, it’s value for money
Your attitude while speaking is awesome Rohit Anna 😍
Thank you brother for making such a informative video... please make videos about riding jacket and riding pants... thanks again lots of love from Assam 🇮🇳
Wonderful information Sir, Always worthful things which are coming directly from vast experience. Love from Odisha, Sir !!!
Thank you. Glad to share from my experiences.
@@TollFreeTraveller Always welcome sir :)
You've made a good purchase. Using the same shoes for a while now. Loving them.
Great to hear! Hope these serve me well
U as inspiration I started riding now and completed Hyderabad- Mumbai one way in 13 and half hrs but didn’t start vlogging yet. Hopefully by 2021 summer I’m planning to start. Will see u someday and surely get some tips for sure Rohit bro. Stay safe and stay healthy.
Thank you. Wish you many safe miles
Good Insight! Are you using Klim Baja S4 Jacket?
Review was thorough and very helpful, never realized the reason of different price ranges across dealers. Thanks . Which bike do you ride ?
He has a Thunderbird 500 and an Xpulse.
Brilliant
Used a Shima pair in my last ride. Those were rented, and listening to this, I think renting is the best option there is.
I'd rather have my own pair of boots. Personal preference. It's worth it
This is not just with riding boots but applies to any leather gears. I recently bought BBG gloves on sale, but they openly stated that there is an issue with the touch leather and it will not be covered in the warranty. Just like your case, because they gave me a 50% off I went ahead and bought it thinking even If they last for 6 months I am fine with it. But just after a days' use, the touch leather came off completely. With COVID lockdown, leather storage turned out to be an issue everywhere and that caused such deterioration in product quality. For anyone who is looking to buy such gear, it is good to ask about this beforehand. ANything on sale is something you should buy only if you are okay with losing it.
Thank you Rohit
Nice .
I’m just starting with rides. Can I go with Orazo as of now?
Very informative. I hope there is some sort of stamping on gear which mentions year of mfg along with batch #s. Not sure if this exists currently with riding gears
Glad to hear that. usually can find something on the box. But, that's not possible when you're looking these things up online, to the extent that I've seen.
Hey Rohith, what do you think about the TVS boots? Are they good for mild off-roading and trail riding and stuff?
I have to disagree. My riding boots are old, probably between six and ten years and have seen a lot of miles. The leather, the sole and the stiching are still in good order, the boots are still waterproof (Goretech). My year old gloves on the other hand are already deteriorating, poor quality like your Triumph boots. But great video, as ever.
forma is also brilliant
Very much true. Same happen with me, with my FOX Comp 5 Adventure boots
After how much time from. Manufcturing date did this happen?
Instead of making this a Triumph rant video, you managed to steer away and make it informative for us.
On a similar note Rohith bhai, my riding boots have given away and I am planning to buy Alpinestars Tech 3, I understand that they have a similar price point to your Forma boots. Any reason why you chose Forma over Tech 3s?
How are your Led lights working for you? My bike also has a below average headlight and I'm considering buying some lights
Hi Rohith, just as a side project, can you try to see if any local cobbler can patch up the Triumph boots in any way, and how much it would cost if its possible. It may make sense for someone to put in say 1K n get similar old boots refurbished to last couple of years.
Can you please tell about the jacket rack which is behind, Is it available online?
The only video that i saw which made justice to the title. Because such thumbnail titles in YT is just clickbait. Moreover a story of 2 boots just came up 😀
So glad to see this comment
That's a really cool table (or stand?) in the back!
Yogesh Chandrasekharuni he has a video on that. You can check it out.
@@sinuslebastian6366 can I get the link? I can't find it

Thanks man
@@yogeshchandrasekharuni4054 anytime✌️
Some of Alpinestars leather boots and jackets are made by Tata International in Tamil Nadu, but the sad thing is they are never sold in India, straight away exported!!
Same thing happened to my BBG boots lol
Have a look at army boots which I use for riding they lasted me 5 years (original swat )
how old were they when you bought , what was the manufacturing date?
Over time, the sole of these boots tend to come off. Also, when you re-patch the sole, the "waterproofing" goes away. Four of my friends have the same issue. All bought at the same time. And when the price was Rs. 14K.
Nice Excellent Amazing pentastick Vera level aassam information bro 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Same with jackets…got 15 month old RE jacket just now..
sir i want to buy boots and i ride jawa so in that case body and leg posture in straight because of forward set foot pegs and i tried RE long riding boots and after wearing that boots even i was not able to shift gear so please suggest me for boots which can fulfill my requirement and my budget is under 10 k maximum and i was riding boots with mid length like RE short riding boots
Rohit update the amazon links in the description.Majority of them are out of stock right now!
