But what is a Booicore I hear you ask?
It's simple. Protect the family jewels. Don't get mistaken for a dogger. Don't get arrested for showing your little fella off to passers by. Get dry and change wearing your BOOICORE changing towel. They're built to last. They're big. You can wash them (see - mum/girlfriend/maid) at high temperatures like you do those ancient towels in your bathroom.

TEVA Links shoes now in stock!
They've taken a while to get here but we finally have stock of the Teva Links flat pedal shoe in both the Ultraviolet (purple) and Lunar Rock colourway.
These are the new super cool and amazingly functional shoe from TEVA. Whether it's street shredding or DH racing, these shoes are certainly at the top of the pile!! And they don't absorb water due to the Ion-Mask technology...
Available now on our
Webshop priced at a very reasonable £75.99 (rrp £84.99)
Legendary Free rider and street shredder Jeff Lenosky was heavily involved in the design of the Links Shoe and presented Teva with all of the issues that he faced on a daily business with his normal riding shoes. Teva researched and developed there new Teva Links Shoe with the goal of dealing with all of the issues that Jeff Lenosky brought to their attention.
The Spider365 rubber sole will grip to your pedals in all kind of environments due to the unique sole that interfaces with the design of mountain bike pedals. This is combined with a special grip on the toe to help when pushing back up hills and a reverse lug pattern to give grip when you are going downhill not on your bike.
Ion-Mask technology prevents the materials in this shoe from absorbing water on a molecular level. Also waterproof materials throughout make it easy to wash off mud.
A rubberised grid on the toe of the shoe is breathable armour that prevents ripping. A shock pad in the heel of the shoe helps absorb hard landings as does the extra padding throughout the rest of the upper. Strong plastic wraps around the back help protect your heal and provide a snug fit along with the elastic tongue and Mush infused insole.
