Has anybody bought the triumph boots? They look pretty comfy.

Any comments good or bad on the stock clothing are welcome



My experience with Triumph clothing has all been positive, but the Highway Boots were way too big, even though they were the same Euro size as a whole closet full of other dress shoes.....so big that I felt it pointless to order a smaller size as I feared the upper would still be too loose around my foot even if I got the length and width right. They were not nearly as well-constructed as any of my RED WING Boots, either.

My Mesh Raptor Jacket has served me well, and I continue to wear it a lot, but the elastic has given out at the bottom hem....maybe from stretching it over the Summer Blouson windbreaker sometimes. The Raptor has reflective pipeing that makes me more visible at night, whereas my leather Classic jacket is only black as the night.

I'm trying to keep the leather in the closet until November rolls around, but I have a feeling I am going to drag it out tomorrow for the weekend.

I put another 750 miles on my Red Wing 980s last weekend - the only shoes/boots I took along for a great Hill Country ride, and my feet still felt great when I got home Sunday night. My wife loves her Red Wing boots, too - like my 980s, only a lower-topped upper, and zippered sides along with the speed laces. She wears them to work and braggs on how comfortable they are.
