Title: Joe Rocket Orbit Boots
Post by: rideserotta on November 03, 2010, 09:13:47 AM
Any opinion on Joe Rocket Orbit boots? I'm looking for something I can ride in and wear with jeans without looking too conspicuous.

  Are those boots on sale somewhere?
I'm not a big fan of Joe rocket gear. I wear Sidi brand boots, they fit me well and they a quality boot manufacture, so I stick with them.
These are the boots I usually wear "around town". Not the safest, but better that flip flops. I can't seem to wear them out so I can justify another pair of boots that I've been eyeballing.

The Orbits are 'casual' boots. Think Doc Martin 6 hole style. They're $98. I think for that price I'll give them a shot.

Those boots look beefy, they should work great!

Boot fitment varies by manufacture, the brand Sidi that I wear runs narrow, so find what works for you and stick with it.
