Default Puma motorcycling boots

I'm guessing the "hardcore" boot you are refering to is the '1000' model. That **** is MAD Power-Ranger style a.k.a. ugly as shiite.

Looks like a ski boot got drunk and had some unprotected sex with a sneaker.

while i do like the look of these. i don't think they're very "hardcore". they're way to fashion oriented for that.

One great thing about this boot line is that they will come in other colors than black, or black with red or blue or something garish.

A lot of these boots actually look like shoes...which is a good thing. They come in brown, and in white...that is soo key. If they distribute them properly, they will sell well.

I'm only referring to the "1000" as hardcore...do you really not agree with the word use? I mean...it is the most focused boot in the lineup.

i dunno. when i think about Puma's shoe stylings, i picture magazine ads and runway models. lol! i dunno why, i think the boots are to pretty to be worn on the track or street.

the 1000 may be the most focused boot in thier lineup, but it's also the bulkiest ugliest boot i've ever seen this side of a ski resort.
I just bought Sidi B2s because i was tired of how bulky my SMX+s were. There's no way i'd be caught dead in any of those Pumas.

the 1000's are really nice looking too but are quite akin to hardcore ski boots, but i've seen worse from sidi

I saw these in the Puma store in Philly and to be honest, they look better on the monitor than real life. Also, there is little to no ankle support whatsoever.

Which ones did you see?

I've called the 2 NY stores, now trying the Boston one. The NY stores had the Brutale, but only in black.

great boot. I got mine and haven't been happier. I know some day down the line I'll have to get a boot that protects more but they're great for the street. I always laugh at my friend's SMX+ boots

They remind of a snowboarding boot for some reason, though when you think about it they don't have any all that different from my A*'s.
