Replacement strap system for the no-longer-available replacement buckles and ratchet straps found on the original-type Combat Touring Boots and Combat Lites. Includes parts and instructions to retrofit a replacement ratchet strap for broken CBT boot buckles. Kit is designed to be a do-it-yourself repair kit (you’ll need some basic tools like grinder or cut-off wheel, drill, vise and 1/8” pin punch), or bring kit and boot to a local cobbler for installation. Installation takes about 30 minutes and should last the life of the boot.

CBT Strap Replacement Instructions

More ideal for general touring, everyday urban riding and all day street and general purpose wear. Obviously shorter and lighter, but incorporating the identical heavy duty materials, design features, and construction quality of the original Combat Touring boot. Top grain leather and fully leather lined.

Compared to most general purpose and riding boots, the Lite has fewer individual leather pieces, less seams and is a stronger and longer lasting boot. The inner speed laces and instep buckle provide a better and more secure fit than any slip-on “engineer” type boot. The lower shaft fits riders with extra large calf muscles better, too. Black. 11" tall (2.42 lb. per boot) Medium Width. Wedge or cleated sole. US (EU) sizes: 7.5 (41), 8.5 (42), 9.5 (43), 10 (44), 11 (45), 11.5 (46), 12.5 (47), 13.5 (48), 14 (49), 15 (50).

The tougher your riding, the better this boot will feel. Combat Touring boots are as strong as the bulkiest specialized off-road footwear, yet are designed to fit easily under your pants for everyday wear. As soon as you put them on you will feel more support and protection than ordinary street boots can offer.

Combat Touring boots are manufactured exclusively for us by Sidi using the best materials and their most experienced bootmakers. They feature quality full grain leather throughout, a Davos competition motocross sole, Scotchlite™ reflective in the heel gusset, generous internal ankle and toe padding, and a special padded collar at the top.

The inner speed lace/cord lock setup with micro-adjustable arch buckle and outer hook & loop calf closure insures a protective, comfortable fit. Combat Touring boots may take slightly longer to form to your feet compared to cheaper boots, but they will outlast them by years.

From time to time, apply any good waterproofing product and they will mostly eliminate the need for carrying rain boots.

Whenever regular motocross boots are too clumsy and street boots are too wimpy, these are perfect. Black. 14" tall (2.7 lb. per boot) Medium Width. Wedge or cleated sole. US (EU) sizes: 7.5 (41), 8.5 (42), 9.5 (43), 10 (44), 11 (45), 11.5 (46), 12.5 (47), 13.5 (48), 14 (49), 15 (50).

If these are your laces, you must have Combat Touring Boots. (This is a do it-yourself installation.) Each lace is 56" long.

These Competition Laces are designed to be more durable and convenient to use than the standard laces. The tighter weave nylon material frays less does not stick to the hook area of the boot flap. The slightly longer 60" overall length allows custom cut-to-length for a perfect fit for your boots and less excess lace to tuck under the outer flap. Cordlock not included—we recommend re-using the cordlock from the existing laces.

These performance socks are made from the highest-grade wool available, resulting in unmatched comfort and moisture management capability. Because the wool fibers have a natural crimp to them, they are cushiony and return to their original shape instantly. Made with just enough stretch nylon to ensure a snug fit. Non-itchy as well as being machine wash and dryable, these socks are at home inside motorcycle boots like no others we’ve tried. Grey. All are 74% luxurious, soft, durable merino wool. Crew height. M (6–8.5), L (9–11.5), XL (12–14.5).

Do-it-all cushioned mid-weight hiking sock that ticks all the boxes as an everyday, any destination riding sock. All-day comfort in any climate. Breathable. Anti-microbial. Fast drying.

A comfortable lightweight sock with just the right amount of added padding to the shin area for an extra dose of all day comfort. Not too thick, and not too thin, these Over-the-Calf socks offer excellent warmth in the cool weather and wear cooler in the hot weather thanks to the breathable, wicking characteristics of the 60% Merino knit. Over-the-Calf Height. Black/Grey/Blue. 60% Merino Wool, 36% Nylon, 4% Lycra® Spandex. S (5.5-7.5), M (8-9.5), L (10-12), XL (12.5-14.5). Made in America.

These socks have additional Lycra support sections throughout the calf, so you won’t find them cutting off circulation or falling down into your boot. High-friction areas contain two sections of polyamide, a technical fiber that provides life-long treatment against odor, fungus and bacteria, and extraordinary wicking capabilities result in enhanced comfort.

These crew socks are made of 67% Polyester, 31% Polyamide, and 2% Elastane and wear slightly higher than a normal sock in order to accommodate riding boots. Built to last.

Weird if you think about it, but nirvana for your feet. Advanced nanotechnology permanently melds the ancient beneficial properties of bamboo charcoal into the natural fibers of this sock. The result is a supple and incredibly comfortable 200 thread count knit that continues to get fluffier and softer with each washing.

Every fiber is infused with charcoal to provide true odor eating and anti-microbial properties within a unique three-dimensional weave pattern that delivers exceptional moisture wicking ability. And (…“but wait, there’s more!”) as the socks are worn and heated by the body, good negative ions are also released, promoting increased foot health and improved circulation. Made from renewable organic materials, these luxurious socks are not only good for your feet and your health, but are good for the planet too. One wearing will make you a believer. S/M (6.5-9), M/L (9.5-13).

For long life and water repellency leathers should be periodically cared for with a quality dressing. Pecard Leather Lotion is the best one we've found. It's based on a long-ago refined formula and is ideal for all for colored and black smooth leathers. Another opaque emulsion. Very easy to apply. Soaks quickly into leather with only a little rubbing and dries leaving a nice dry finish. Two sequential treatments (apply, dry, re-apply, dry, wear) recommended. Not waterproof. Water does not bead but instead re-emulsifies whatever dried residual substances this formula contains.

The boot version cleans, polishes, restores suppleness and provides increased water resistance. It's also still made (since 1902!) in a small northern Wisconsin town by a family owned company founded to manufacture dressings for logging boots, horse-drawn lumbering gear and related equipment. Early woodsmen needed to protect their expensive boots and leather harness gear in cold, wet and harsh environments. The quality and performance of this dressing resulted in a great reputation: Lumbermen and hunters swore by it. Factory workers endorsed it, and Admiral Richard E. Byrd specifically chose the boot dressing to protect gear on his first expedition to the South Pole.

Proven under brutal conditions, this is a leather dressing you count on. It's available around the world in experienced cobbler's shops, and here. Neutral colored formulated paste. Not for use on suede. Choose 4oz. Bottle or 6 oz. Tub.

Odd of name and unusual in its effectiveness, Barge cement is a powerful contact-type cement that is a traditional cobbler’s staple. So it’s great for sticking soles back on boots, and just about anywhere else two flat surfaces need to be re-connected in a durable, weatherproof manner. Great stuff. 2 oz. Tube.

Highly recommended for leather gloves. Opaque liquid emulsion which goes on wet and soaks into pores in leather, helped greatly by rubbing into leather. Not recommended for fabric. Dries leaving a slightly tacky, waxy surface feel which may mostly be buffed away. Tacky-feel also wears away during use. Two applications (apply, dry, re-apply, dry, wear) are recommended to the back-side of glove, with either one fairly light application on palm to limit tacky-waxy effect on grip, or no palm application. Noticeably longer-lasting water-beading than Nikwax Glove Proof. 100ml.

A thick waxy paste that contains some silicones and is popular for boots but though not recommended specifically, may also be carefully applied to the back-sides of gloves. Needs to be worked into the leather by rubbing. Does not completely dry but surface may be buffed out. Leaves a slightly greasy surface feel. Water beads for a long time.

Two-part poly-urethane adhesive with abrasion resistant and waterproofing abilities forms a layer of armor on the toe of your boots. Perfect for shift pad protection. Easy to use. Black.

Probably the most secure place on your person to keep money and valuable papers. Adhesive hook & loop attaches a secret fold-over wallet made of thin nylon to your boot’s inner calf or front gusset. Large enough to hold a bunch of money (or whatever else you don’t want found). For some reason neither thieves nor third world border inspectors check moto-travelers smelly, dirty boots. (?!) Hmmm...at least not Greg’s. Set of two pockets: 3.25"×4.5" and 6.75"×2.75".

The next best thing to a custom prescription orthopedic. Most insoles simply condense and compact under pressure. These are designed with a firm structural footbed that self-molds to your unique foot shape, cushioning and mirroring each foot for increased comfort, control and support. These are rock solid. Low-profile (thinner) uses minimal boot space. SALE: Discontinued. Size 7 Only.

Perfect for custom-fitting, especially if your foot falls between sizes. Makes boots feel like they were custom made. These insoles feature a patented Etc® fabric top cover that is cool and long wearing. A firm polyethylene mid foam over a molded and shaped structural arch platform provide scientifically researched support that translates to less fatigue, reduced shock, and all-day comfort. SALE: High profile (thicker) for boots with more volume. Size 5.5-7 Only. Trim them for a custom fit.

This all-in-one leather treatment restores and protects your smooth-leather footwear against harsh conditions. Its durable formula replaces lost tanning oils to maintain flexibility, while forming a water-resistant barrier to keep feet dry even in severe weather. Easily applied with the included dauber, it’s ideal for work boots, hiking boots, motorcycle boots, western boots, and more (not for suede or nubuck). Expect some darkening—always spot-test first—and reapply as needed to sustain protection and suppleness.
