| | Posted : 02 May 2011 - 06:34 Post title : Custom Made Motorcycle Boots | | | What could be better than custom made motorcycle boots? How about custom made motorcycle boots for $189? The only thing better than that would be ... oh, I don't know, finding them the day before you order a different pair of mass produced boots instead of the day after .... you know, just as an example 
The Gasolina Hand-made Vintage Motorcycle Boot Link
Constructed of high quality top grain 1.2 to 1.4 outer leather.
Completely lined in glove-soft leather.
Vat dyed so the color permeates the leather, resisting scuffs and wear.
Our boots have a soft leather flap that runs the entire length of the zipper, blocking wind and protecting your socks, pants, and skin.
Made in small batches, with great attention to detail, no assembly line - they are assembled by hand in our small mountain town.
Solid, natural rubber soles for excellent grip and durability when riding. Springy and limber, not spongy like synthetic foam. Comfortable for walking - if you break down you'll be glad you wore Gasolinas!
Goodyear welt construction, completely sewn. They can be re-soled if ever needed.
Now to be fair they aren't exactly bespoke in that they are made just for you to your measurements. What they are is more custom fitted with 3 measurements of the length and width of your foot and the circumference of your calf ... but of both feet. They will then send you the size that will fit accordingly, so if you are an odd duck and your feet are uneven or particularly wide you know you are going to get a good fit ... and damn if these aren't nice boots for $189......
and yea, I am going to order a pair.
-----------------------
They also make a dress boot...
and spats
Which would be great for you office types. (all equally decently priced)

I probably will go with these, more classic ones (sorry only italian...) Link
The short ones
normal length
long variant
The good thing - the pictures are a starting point. They offer the boot in different length and colors. You then may add any personal ideas and wishes to it. If you don't like the base you can even start with a totally different boot, all made by hand.
With 220 Euro+ they cost a bit more, the dollar is really low at the moment.
