Yamaha Boots - opinions?

[jetskee]

I have had Slippery Matrix boots the last couple of times I bought new, and
they last for about 3 seasons and then they are toast. The sole comes off.

Are the Yamaha boots any better?

Saw these for $41 on Parker Yamaha and thought about giving them a try
instead of some new Matrix boots (unless they fall apart too).

Opinions appreciated! Thanks.

WOw, they lasted that long?

Most folks like Wrestling shoes.

Im not positive but I believe those are the new Slippery boots with a Yamaha stamp on them.

Thanks for the opinions. I might give this a shot before I buy another pair,
because really, there is nothing wrong with my current pair other than
the sole is coming off. Well, they are dirty and ugly too, but that doesn't
bother me. :biggrin:

I had thought about using the same contact cement I used on my
Hydroturf, too. (It was a 3M oil-based contact cement available at Lowes.
Might even be the same stuff?) but wasn't sure how well it would work.

And thanks for the link. I'll keep these guys in mind.

I don't know who makes the Yamaha shoes but they seem really good. I love mine.

I would fix yours though.

I use shoe goo or 5200 to suck the life out of riding shoes.

I don't like wrestling shoes cuz they don't protect my toes enough and my toes are f'ed.

He already sucked the life out of them---3 seasons worth! :smile:

are these an actual yamaha part? Could i goto my dealer and give him a part # and get them locally? They look like nice shoes.

Are the yamaha boots comfortable?? Flexible?? They look kinda stiff to me.
