Aerostich Combat Lite Boots #404-484

Customer Reviews

Awesome fit, great support Review by Skypp

I am hard to fit, so it took about an hour of walking around the small showroom. I was entertained by Jim (an employee) and the customers who also owned and loved their "Combat Lites". I was treated with respect, and thou at times it was busy, never rushed,but looked in on enough to feel important! Customer service? Jim and an attracive young woman, are/were true customer service, and I thank them! The boots, I wore them for the next ten hours at the Bayfront Blues Festival, and again for the 8 hour ride home! They are worth the money!

I bought the Combat Lites... Review by Patrick Lifsey

I bought the Combat Lites in January 09. They were stiff at first, but I broke them in by wearing them from the bus-stop to my office building. I love these boots and don't ride without them. They are comfrontable and provide the protection that I need. I couldn't imagine wearing anything else. (Posted on 5/9/09)

Thin sole adds no height ... Review by fred hefren

Thin sole adds no height but is very comfortable after break-in. I normally wear a 15 but the 14 fit fine and after break-in, I can even wear thick socks with them. Have worn them in torrential rain with only water ingress from the top. They stay very dry with only minimal maintenance and a slicker over the top. Best boot I've ever owned! (Posted on 4/16/09)

Lets start out by saying ... Review by robert zarick

Lets start out by saying I haven't done a review before. I have been riding m/c for 45 years and have not found a pair of m/c boots to fit until now. My feet are 12 4E and only New Balance 12 4E shoes will fit. To make things worse I have a small bunion on my right foot. I ordered size 12 and expected to returned them like all the others I received over the years. They looked stiff but they didn't feel that bad so I took them to the local shoe repair shop and had them stretched a little over the bunion area on the right boot. They didn't stretch that much but maybe it's just mental that they felt better. So I wore them for about 4 hrs. and that nite while watching tv I took those new little creases and worked them back a forth with some leather dressing. After three days I worked up to wearing them for eight hrs. and working them by hand at nite. Now their the only boots that I can ride, shift easily and walk in all day. Plus I got the cleated soles so they easy to walk, climb, hike and ride with. They look great and I wore them Christmas shopping and nobody noticed I was wearing anything special. To me most motorcycle boots look gaudy. These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned and they broke in quickly with a little hand work.

Much better than the comb... Review by Mark Kondracki

Much better than the combat boots, for me anyway. Comfortable out of the box. Heavy - well built (why don't people make things with such craftmenship anymore?) Easy on/off. Really outstanding. The Combat regulars were too big, too stiff for me - these, while stiff, seem to offer more freedom of movement immediately. Definitely not moon man when off the bike. I practice all gear all the time so I needed something that didn't make me look silly off the bike. (Posted on 1/2/09)

I've had my Combat Lite b... Review by Peter Gantriis

I've had my Combat Lite boots for a year now, and they're excellent. They are comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Now that they're broken in, the Combat Lites are very comfortable both on and off the bike. I added the "sizing insoles" (purchased separately from Aerostich), and they are a huge improvement to the boot's comfort. An added bonus of the Combat Lites is that they're pretty subtle when worn under a pair of jeans. The boots have excellent protection for the bike, yet they don't make you look like a Power Ranger when you're not riding.

I highly recommend these boots... (Posted on 12/29/08)

Took a while to break in,... Review by James Stone

Took a while to break in, as everyone has heard. But once broken in, these boots are very comfortable. They are nice and wide. They are also great in the snow! These boots should last a very long time. (Posted on 12/29/08)

Wore them for two weeks e... Review by christopher oelerich

Wore them for two weeks every day before hitting the road, after reading the reviews. At first they were a little stiff and then got better by the day. We rode 1000 miles, looping the Colorado rockies in July heat and was never uncomfortable. They provide excellent traction when tipping up and moving the bike around even on gravel surfaces (Valkyrie Interstate). The adjustability and fit are excellent and I found sizing to be true. Heavy tall socks added to the comfort. I expect to wear these for a long time. (Posted on 10/25/08)

For those wondering, I can confirm that these are flexible, unclunky and shallow enough to work on a sports bike (999). I was also surprised how fast they broke in (3 days) well enough to ride in. UK buyers should note that the last is the same length but wider than the same size as the Sidis in UK shops. (Posted on 10/9/08)

I have a pair of the Comb... Review by giselle vagnini

I have a pair of the Combat regulars that I bought second hand but the seller said they were barely used. My calves are on the larger side so I asked the seller to measure the diameter or circumference of the top of the boot to see if it would fit me. He didn't measure very accurately so when they arrived, they don't fit my calf. I haven't had the chance to break them in but all these reviews are encouraging. I am thinking I will bring them to a shoe repairman and ask him to enlarge the calf for me, either by inserting a wedge of leather or somehow lengthing the velcro.

Or maybe I will try the Combat Lites from AeroStitch and return them if they don't fit...yeah, that's what I'll do. (Posted on 2/16/08)
