In a time when premium dirt boots go for over $500, it’s refreshing to find adult boots that retail for around $100. However, logic would tell you that there must be a compromise somewhere for that price point to be feasible for a manufacturer.
The Answer Fazer Boots are offered at that lower price point. So where’s the compromise? The boots are constructed of full cowhide. There is a suede heat-shield to protect from those hot pipes. There is a respectable dose of interior padding for added comfort. No compromise yet.
Protection comes in the form of plastic (poly) shields at the shin and calf. The sole is substantial and rugged. Overall, the boots seems to be of a good design. One quibble I have with the boot shape is the tall toe box. Like many boots, the Fazer needs a lower front profile for ease of shifting.
So where is the compromise in these budget boots? Well, the plastic buckles may be the issue. The buckle design is nice, with a 2-stage function. However, plastic buckles traditionally don’t hold up well to the ravages of the desert, the woods, or the track.
Overall though, the Answer Fazer Boots are a nice entry level dirt offering. The boots come in black and are available in sizes 7 – 14.
