Title: Puma boots
Post by: Yellow Meanie on January 08, 2011, 01:18:57 AM
Hi all. Does anyone know if you can buy parts for Puma boots?

I've had these for about two and a half years. As you can see in the pic, the rear section of the boot is broken on the right hand side and is cracked on the left. Since taking this picture, the left side has also broken, leaving the whole piece separate from the boot.

This has happened on the left boot only, presumably from the movement when changing gears...

SportBikeTrackGear have Puma boots - fantastic customer service [thumbsup]

If they don't sell parts - at least there are some close-out deals there ;)

I didn't even think of that He Man  [roll]

OK, just sent them an email with the picture attached. Maybe I'll get a free new pair....

yellow meanie, which version of the 1000's do you have?  how do you think they feel for comfort, in regards to being on the bike for a while or having to do any walking in?

They're the older style 1000's, with the short toe-slider. I believe the newer version has a slider that wraps further around the boot.
As for comfort on the bike, they are quite good. I can wear them all day, no worries.
They're not the best for walking in though. Quite clunky and they squeak too!
