Really none else is doing this on youtube. Great job! Not all of us want to look like power rangers

I agree with this! Monika is also a great videographer!! If you get a lavalier/lapel mic I think it would improve the quality/clarity of your voice. Keep up the great content. Love the lifestyle gear

[@FreddieDobbs]

@@Zensa06 Thanks so much for the tip about the mic- I'll save this as I definitely want to keep improving the video quality. Thank you!🙂

I’ve had a pair of TCX Hero waterproof boots for two or three years, similar to the tcx you’ve shown there. They wear in well.

[@susheergovindaraj5842]

The boots are fantastic and every boot oozes with quality. They are so versatile and functional. Loved the jeans too.

Very refreshing and informal review which should be commended. Very good stuff indeed!

Excellent video buddy. Just the type of boots I was looking for and introduced some brands I wasn't aware of. I just bought my first motorcycle, and I already see that I'll be collecting boots as I do sneakers :-)

Had one of those RX-7's in college. It was a blast.

[@patrickneyman6739]

Thanks for that rainy day impromptu!! This was either the best source for, or perfect complement to, the myriad of internet reviews of new MC boots that are mostly uninformative, offering less than the product spec pages.

[@chrischart]

Getting my license sorted and having to pickup all the gear from a stopped start, so this video is really helpful - thanks Freddie!

[@paulaus]

In my size (42) I often find the malleolus protection nowhere near where my ankle is. It's also worth noting a boot like the Rocker can be resoled many times where often the cheaper boots have a glued on sole with fake stitching. I have a pair of Forma Legacy boots and they are so good I'm planning on touring in them.

[@aaronblack001]

I’d recognise that view out the window anywhere - I’m from Crayford myself. Done my bike test at Erith too earlier this year. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Been thinking for a while but looks like I'll be going for the x blend. Decent boot for £130. Watched a couple of videos and have now subscribed. Good chilled vibe and not over zealous trying to sell. Congrats on the channel

[@positivelynegative9149]

Thanks for the real talk about so many boots. I can barely afford a single pair, so I need to be as informed as possible when I make a purchase. So many "review" videos are sales pitches in disguise; or the reviewer doesn't really know the products. 👍

[@thomasheuck2958]

I just bought the TCX X Blend Boots a few days ago (before I saw your video). Glad to hear you recommend them too, so I guess it was the right decision 😁

[@FreddieDobbs]

Superb choice! There's nothing better for an absolute all rounder (style, value, quality and safety). You'll have many happy years of riding in them🤘🏍

[@badshotuk72]

Brilliant video Freddie, I was looking into getting some more "less plasticky bike clobber", those Aviator's and the TCX's look great, and the hood Jean's too, I love that old RX7 you don't see many like that, I think I went over to that business park for a classic BMW car meet up a few years ago looks familiar, keep the video's coming always look forward to them!

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks! Glad the video may be of some help! It's the first of that generation RX7 I've ever seen- absolute beauty😍 Ah yes that'd make sense- I think they do have car meet ups in the area as there are a few different car companies based there. Thanks for the support!

[@grahamabbey3835]

Excellent video and just ordered a pair of Aviators on the back of it.

Hands down my favourite reviewer of all things on the cooler side of the moto spectrum. Your style is effortlessly delicious to watch. I totally agree with you on the Hood 👖. At your recommendation I've gone with the falco Aviators and they are by far the best motorcycle boots I've ever owned, I've even warn them out a few times without any intention of riding a motorcycle and they've been complemented by a number of my wife's friend's. I've been forwarding a few of your vlogs to the boy's down here in Australia 🇦🇺 and they love them too. Have you done a review of the Speed Twin 1200, I don't seem to be able to find one and I'm seriously interested in your opinion in contrast to the recent speed twin 900 you did.

[@vmotobiker]

[@2WheelTrev]

Always trust the algorithm hey! I stumbled across your channel and really love the content you’re putting out. I’ve been riding since 2012 and absolutely love it though unfortunately 95% of my riding is commuting into London from herts. Question I have for you is how does this retro/lifestyle gear hold out across the seasons/weather? I typically ride all year round and have only ever used big goretex dainese boots and thick textile clothing with lots of armour but frankly it is a pain having to either change or wear my normal clothes underneath. Would appreciate your thoughts thanks 😊

[@steveaga4683]

I was lucky with my boots! About a year ago I found some TCX Rook boots that were reduced because they were discontinued. Reduced from around £165 to about £42. I bought a black and a brown pair!

[@badvideopl]

well, first things first - great vid Freddie, I have also discovered your podcasts recently and found them enjoyable as well. Let me share some personal experience regarding Broger Alaska boots. Due to limited budget, they were my only pair of riding shoes for a season and a half. I ride daily, mostly commuting, in pretty much every conditions you may come across in Warsaw, nearby which I live. In general, I recognize them a very well made ones with a bit bulky design in the toes section, and IMO they suffer from three faults: - they do not come in halves of size and the fitment is on the generous side, so you may quite easily get unlucky to be stuck in the middle between of sizes, as I did - they take a certain amount of time to break in, which I will remember as a literally painful period for my feet, I believe it was mostly due to the sizing issue - after about a year of daily riding (ca. 10k miles) the side zippers tended to break apart if I was less careful about lacing tension per my socks thickness never the less, these are decent boots if you are on a budget and lucky to pop spot on with their sizing ride safe, cheers!

The Rokker Urban Racers have been the best boots for me by far. I had some TCX Heros that I liked, looked cool and were super comfy but the waterproof membrane made my feet sweat too much. The Rokkers have no waterproof membrane but with some leather wax they don't let a drop of rain in. And they get comfier with age. Great film again and love how you're mixing up your content.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks very much for sharing this tip and your thoughts Marcus!🙂

[@simoesc]

I have made over 40.000km in these Rokker boots. Pouring rain etc, hot weather amazing!

[@wahiba]

German army surplus, if available but a few years ago around £20-30. For last few years Altberg made in Yorkshire. Lace ups. For summer riding British made genuine army desert boots, suede. Acquired while working, in middle east, ammunition boot style.

So I use $35 Walmart Interceptor black lace-up boots. Steel toe, reinforced heel cup, and breathable. Nonslip sole. Nicely padded but not reinforced on the ankles. Not waterproof. Unless you’re going to upgrade to full fledge racing boots these are all you need. 20,000 riding miles and they’re still great.

Went for the Falcon Aviators in Brown after seeing on your channel Freddie, I had the Dianese Street armour ankle Converse style boots (great summer boot I’ve had for 4 years) but wanted a more robust boot out for gravel etc, as found my ones slippy and when shoving about a 300kg Rocket can be a bit sketch… will go with my new awesome 😎 green JohnDoe bomber jacket and green Resurgence combats (make great jeans), Falcos seem like a great boot for the money? Had a hip replacement a little while ago so the double zipper is great.

[@FreddieDobbs]

A Rocket owner- AMAZING!!🖤 The Aviators are the only boots that genuinely don't need the laces undoing, which is very nice! That's a very nice selection you have (John Doe and Resurgence)- they're two brands I've never tried, but I really want to, so it's good to get your feedback. The

So refreshing to see practical advice and not just a shop channel plugging their gear for sales!

[@tockingwatches2377]

I’m surprised that good motorcycle boots are relatively inexpensive. I wear Vibergs daily to the office, and their quality is so superb that I can stand on concrete with them for 10 hours with no soreness. Of course they cost well over $700 but they’re well worth it. As a new rider, I’m looking forward to exploring this boot market.

[@11BravoJake]

I've never owned any of these but I think the Falco Aviators look the best from a style perspective. I have the Indie Ridge Comanche in brown, they look pretty good but they're a cross between a brown leather boot and a sneaker. I paid $175 which is about 150 pounds?

[@matthewf4402]

Great review keep up the good work, but please buy some polish even some neutral (so you keep the patina) and look after that leather. It'll make them more comfortable and more waterproof.

[@phoenixrider21]

[@kurttallon]

Hi Freddie, great video. With all the rain we've been having, how do you sort out all the white marks left behind on your boots? You've obviously got some boots there that you've had a long time and they still look great. Do you treat your boots with a waterproofing wax or something? What can you recommend?

Firstly love the channel and hope it grows for you. This maybe a daft question but when it comes to riding boots do you do any care and maintenance to them?

[@FreddieDobbs]

When it rains, I give them a clean with leather conditioner treatment- once every month (pour some on an old t-shirt and wipe all over). It takes about two minutes per pair and keeps them in top condition

[@darkoflight4938]

A great "rainy day video" although here in Sweden it´s sunny... for now. Love biking gear that doesn´t necessarily look like it. When going over to friends or a movie going about looking lika a Batman wannabe doesn´t fly always. Interesting to note that the most expensive pair of boots doesn´t have any armor. Any experience with these kind of bikejeans regarding the armor, I mean how do they work in a accident? The might be abrasion resistant but not much more. I saw a FortNine video regarding the resistance of riding jeans and in a few cases they disappoint. I suppose it is a tradeoff. Great video as always, keep up the good work mate!!! Oh, and look at that Mazda....
