Boots and glue on shoes
We are a registered distributor for Scootboot, Easycare range of boots and shoes and we can supply Renegades boots.
Boots are best fitting straight after a trim to make sure for the correct size. Boots generally last longer and are not a one-off compared to traditional steel shoes or aluminum shoes. Depending on amount of use and the ground being ridden over, boots can last you a long time.
Glue on shoes or boots can be used for rehabs, competition or just casual riding. We recommend to replace them every 5-6weeks max.
The boots or shoes are glue on with a polyurethane glue which is super strong and works great with a short curing time.
For more info or boot/shoe orders please don't hesitate to contact us.
