bought it.

does yours have some dark and light spots on the boot?


on mine it's quite apparent till my wife can notice from afar.
like leather blemishes from a reject boot. haiya
OK la, if got unevenness should mean the leather is real leather. If too perfect then not really real leather kot 🤣
Saw the ad says it is CE rated. Do you see the ce label in the shoe and what are the 4 numbers below the ce label?
Anyway, just refreshed some of my gear to something more protective and hopefully long lasting. Went to Winmaster in balakong who are the distributor for Furygan, Shark helmets and a relatively new shoe brand called Eleveit. I was supposed to get gloves only to replace my old Furygan Jet D3o gloves, but since I was there already went and tried their shoes also and coincidentally new stock which includes new models just arrived last Friday.

After trying out a few shoes, my feet fell in love with this pair immediately as it can actually fit my feet! It's the Eleveit Venom WR. WR as in water resistant. My feet are pretty wide and I always have trouble searching for shoes that can fit me but this particular model have a very wide toe box design making it really comfortable for me. My feet is supposed to be a size 10.5-11 width 4E-5E but wearing this shoe size 12 it fits just nice. Not too long and the width is just right.
It is also water resistant and rates a '2' in almost all the CE rating except abrasion resistance which is good enough for me as I'm going to be using this for my daily commute mostly and occasional rides. Only thing is I need to get used to using a high cut shoe, the sole is pretty thick and the shoe itself is quite stiff since its still new, so shifting gear really needs some effort for now. Price is supposed to be around 1k, he had not finalised the price yet but he gave me a very good price being the first customer for these shoes.


For gloves I ended up choosing the Furygan F-RS1 which retails around RM6xx. It is their 2nd highest end glove in their lineup and feels really good in the hand. Made out of 90% goat leather hopefully it will last me long. Always wanted to try long cuff but was worried it won't be comfortable especially with my watch but I'm glad to report that it fits very well above the jacket sleeves and even above my thick gshock watch. I remember testing other brands long cuff gloves and don't find it comfortable but these are pretty comfortable for me. Only gripe is that I tested free hand in the shop and it felt nice and snug then, but when riding I notice my thumbs are pushing at the end of the glove causing some slight discomfort after some time. Hopefully the glove will wear in after awhile and it should... Fit like a glove.... by then 🤣
Another weird thing is that the exact same model in red/white colour scheme have a very slightly longer thumb and now I wish I'd taken that instead.


And now I've got gloves with matching colour scheme as my helmet


Ps: I don't have any affiliations with these brands in case it might sound like it. Just sharing my purchase with relatively unknown brands which offers good value for money especially the shoes. Really surprised to find a shoe that can fit my leg and was so happy that I decided to buy it on the spot to replace my old A* Drystar crx which have really crappy protection with a rating of '1' in all the categories.
