When you first spy the Exustar Ladies boot on the shelf you can’t believe it’s a motorcycle boot! It looks just like all the boots we’ve been wearing every day along with our [tucked in] skinny jeans! And that’s what’s so fantastic – top motorcycle boot safety and performance with style and function in the truest form! The finish is clean; the accented dark silver buckles a sophisticated touch, and the comfort riding or walking is unsurmatched! Yes the Exustar Ladies Touring Boot is a superbly comfortable boot to walk in! The treaded sole is firm and of gripping rubber. It acts well when on the peg plus gives a great sense of security when feet are planted on the ground supporting the weight of your motorcycle! The addition of a small heel, I find personally find perfect as it gives enough of a lift but works well on the foot pegs of your bike as you move your foot forward and back. The overall fit is incredible too especially around the calves! The boot is 34 cm's high and its usually too big in upper leg zone, but the Exustar fits snug. My personal boot size is 38 and the diameter of the boot top is 35 cm's which is snug. But the elastic extension added to the design allows for give; a slight bit of stretch. Looks fab with skinny jeans tucked in! On top of it all this it’s entirely waterproof! There’s a reinforced waterproof panel behind the zipper and the inside is lined with a soft comfortable breathable material. Unlike other waterproofed boots, there's not much allowance for any air flow causing inner perspiration and discomfort! And note the double stitching which truly adds design flair to the finish but performs by reinforcing the leather in “high stress areas”. And of course reinforced leather on each toe for shifter and pedal wear. Exustar is a fairly new player in the motorcycle gear category. But they're not necessarily newcomers to the footwear game. They’ve got thirteen years of expertise from producing cycling footwear. After repeated requests from motorcycle companies Exustar decided to apply their know-how to the motorcycle industry. After a great deal of research and development, the company launched Exustar Motorcycle Footwear in 2006. The response was overwhelmingly positive, encouraging them in 2007 to follow up with a range of clothing and helmets. To sum up the Exustar Ladies Waterproof Touring Boot – it's really multi use/ multi style for cruiser, duo- purpose, touring, sport or scooter needs. Perfect for the Urban rider because you can step from moto peg to street without looking like you’re wearing a motorcycle boot! It’s totally waterproof and best of all – completely feminine – designed for women with style! .
