@@ThrottleDownunder hey, I've read and seen lots of video reviews on this boot, and everyone loves it. Looking at it, it's the only boot that really really appeals to me, partly because of the incredible look and patina, and partly because I have hot feet and love to get out of boots quickly. I do see them at dodgy sites from the PRC (for $99 US!), and there is one Italian site (FC Moto), but otherwise nothing. Anyway my question is this: to your knowledge why was this model dropped everywhere, not just at your shop but at every shop, given their universal popularity among reviewers. (i've also noticed the same thing with the TCX Hero). Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.
Just bought a black pair of these today from Richardson’s HD Launceston to go with the 24 Low Rider s I just bought, they are great looking boots. Out of all the different brands they had, these stood out immediately.
@@ThrottleDownunder you’ll love it mate! Be careful though if you haven’t ridden here before, from my understanding the roads here are way more twisty than the mainland and quite a few tourists get themselves in trouble on the roads.
I would actively encourage potential buyers to go try these in store, before buying them. I ordered a 41 after trying a 42 that was too large (EU size). I measured my feet beforehand and I fit the 26.5 indication, however I am still getting heel pain and poor to no circulation in my fingers due to how tight they are. I am sure they are great for other people, they just won't fit me, so I urge others to be cautious.
Those are some really nice looking boots! I’ll not use the code word as I already have that awesome hat and wear it often. Perfect fit and one of my favorites!
G’day Robbo - thanks for the review mate, went and bought a pair myself! Cant wait to get them looking nice a worn in like yours, did you use a polish on them?
Great review and I absolutely love my pair. I also wear them both on and off the bike everyday. Unfortunately the shifter wore a hole through the top of the toe box on mine after 12 months/ 25 to 30k km. Given the price point it has been disappointing. But I ride 100km per day 5-6 days a week so i have put them through their paces. If I didnt ride so much i would get another pair. But will need to get something with a shifter pad over the toe.
In your experience, is the toe cap actually an extra layer of leather on top of the normal piece (like a shift pad but the entire width), or is it just a single layer? Sad to hear yours didn't last long enough. Hope you found a good replacement
I actually have el cheapo Rivers aviator boots which I wear out and use on the motorcycle at a pinch. They aren't actually motorcycle boots but they are leather and cover the ankle. Re: the laces I tie them right up so there are no loops to catch on the foot pegs.
If anyone reads my comment and knows where I can locate these boots (and not a Chinese knock-off version) now (in May 2023), I'd sure appreciate a tip. Anywhere in the world, thanks.
@@D-doggy77 thank, just got a pair from Chromeburner in the Netherlands. I shoulda mentioned that I'm in the U.S. There's no dealers here for some reason...

I agree mate. Hope you love them. I can't wait to be riding your Tassy roads in Feb

I am waiting for my Rockstar Retro Falco's as I write this to go with my new (for me) 2001 W650. Can't wait to pair them up. Great review!
Great combo for sure

They must be hella-tight if you're getting no circulation in your FINGERS?!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are my rockstar retro mate. Great review.
Hahaha thanks Chewie
The Falco's are a awesome look and the zips are what I am looking for. Great review mate. ROCKSTAR RETRO Cheers
Thanks mate, yes I truly love them. comfortable and the zips are great
Nice boots Rob. I like the zipper
Rockstar Retro 👊
How are they like in the hot season? I'd imagine the waterproofing makes these impossible to wear in the summer?
Those are some really nice looking boots! I’ll not use the code word as I already have that awesome hat and wear it often. Perfect fit and one of my favorites!
Thanks buddy
I do love the look of these Robbo, great colour and yes you could easily wear them out even if not riding, Rockstar Retro 😁🍺
Thanks for watch G
Those boots certainly reflect the Rockstar Retro look. Noice! Excellent review Rob, I'll be checking them out.
Thanks mate I appreciate it
Sweet Looking Rockstar Retro boots 😎
Glad you like them!
Great looking boots Rob, I’m planing to visit motorcycle stuff on Friday before the meetup I have a few hours to burn in the arvo. ROCKSTAR RETRO
Awesome mate, when it gets closer well work out whats happening. Maybe dinner Friday night
@@ThrottleDownunder cool sounds like a plan
good review, Reckon I should buy a pair and have a go at this Rockstar Retro look...
You should! You won't regret it
Great looking boots. Don’t mind paying a bit extra for good quality with Rockstar Retro looks.
Thanks for reviewing these boots.
So true matty, thanks for watching
They are awesome boots.
G’day Robbo - thanks for the review mate, went and bought a pair myself! Cant wait to get them looking nice a worn in like yours, did you use a polish on them?
I use a leather wax from Filthy Leather Co. Keeps them protected but still looking good
Love my Falco boots. I don’t have the Aviator’s, can’t remember which model I have, but brilliant boots, comfy, sturdy and seriously stylish.
We ARE stylish Ross lol
@@ThrottleDownunder true that.
ROCKSTAR RETRO all the way! Will definitely have to check these out. Cheers Rob :)
Thanks mate

G'day Jack thanks for the message, and that'd a shame about the shoe wearing through
In your experience, is the toe cap actually an extra layer of leather on top of the normal piece (like a shift pad but the entire width), or is it just a single layer?
Sad to hear yours didn't last long enough. Hope you found a good replacement
@@lijkenkist1 Its just a single layer.
Good looking boots Rob, definately Rockstar Retro.
Thank you

Amazing looking boot mate, are yours the brown or black?
Cheers Blair,
Mine are brown
Do these run Narrow or do they have pretty good stretch after breaking? I had the Kaspar, but they were extremely tight
They sure do look like a great boot. I'll pass on the code word drawing as post to the US is a bit much. Great job!
Thanks Eric
Great looking boots. Price means nothing when you’re paying for top quality. Poor man pays twice.
I couldn't agree more Stef
Hey there from WA (that's Washington State, 'Merca).
Looking through comments, no one mentions sizing. True to size, or size up or down? thanks
Any advice on sizing . Do they come large small are they wide of narrow
Are yours dark brown?
Thanks
Are those the black or brown?
True to size or do they run small? Thanks
Did you ever find out if these Falco Aviators run small, big, or spot-on?
@@Yowzoe I bought the Daytonas
