Everyday riding boots....what do you wear

[jhughes]

I have always just used full on track boots. But its getting old and there are so many new styles coming out I was curious what others use on the daily?  I currently have A* SMX plus  and Spidi xp3-s 

[cmh_sprint]

A* SM-x 5's. Only pair of boots I own.

[jhughes]

REV IT  has some cool high tops that just looks like all black chuck taylors but they are $280 ....ugh 

I don't  how much protection they have. Most of the time I dont mind riding in normal boots but sometimes if i meet people out for something i dont wanna walk in with my space boots on lol

Summer I just wear vibram soled above the ankle leather hiking boots. (crash tested) I had some shin covering sidis that felt like soft slippers in comparison

I have a pair of Cortech Latigo Air boots.

 

Pretty comfy; easy to get on once they broke in.

 

Only two issues I'm having with them -- first, the heel cup has a cut a small (1/2") gash into the leather above my achilles. Not sure if it'd make a difference in a crash or not. Second, the sole separated from the upper about two weeks ago -- mostly a cosmetic issue as the main protective structure of the boot looked undamaged, so I just slathered it with 'Shoe Goo', stuck it under a table leg for two days and it's held fine since

Pretty sure that's what I have too. Have had them since 2010 and still kickin. Granted they only saw a couple thousand miles in the last 2 seasons

A*'s Ridge waterproof riding boots, had them over 2 years now, still very comfy for riding and walking around, very durable as well. Fits my wide size 12 foot well.

Same here.....minus the crashes......LOVE these boots, well made for sure -- too bad they're disco'd.   May find some leftover stock somewhere online though

Same, very comfortable boot that you can wear for a while. Check out some of the newer riding style boots recently that are more relaxed style either on revzilla or sport bike track gear for video reviews to start with. Not sure some will provide as much protection as the full boot will.

A* web gore-tex l, you will not find a more comfortable boot. Mine are more comfortable than any other shoe,boot, flip flop, slipper that I have ever owned. You can wear them all day and walk around I them too.

Joe Rocket Sonic.  Wear them every ride.  Used to wear Doc Martens but was worried about lack of ankle bracing.

[bmwnut]

Most of the time just flip-flops   I can be a squid   A stars ridge other times

[vf1000ride]

For the normal around town commuting type stuff I wear my leather work boots.  If I am doing a day trip or longer I wear my Sidi B2 track boots.

[what]

Sidi vertigos.

I'm actually wearing my Doc Martens today.  I wore the Joe Rocket boots because of the additional ankle support but over time the velcro is becoming less and less reliable so I sometimes get to work, take a step and the whole side of the boot opens up.   Ankle support is no good if the boot comes off.

 

I may go back to a proper riding boot next season, but no more velcro.

 

The laces on my dockers aren't a problem because I fold my boot socks down over the tops of the boots and that holds the laces in place just fine.

I wear a pair of TCX X-Five Goretex boots. Super comfy, and a bit more toe room for myself with wide feet. I work in dress pants, so I leave a pair of dress shoes at work.

My every day boot is the Fox Comp5 Shorty boot. MX-style ankle and crush protection, but still sneaker-comfortable. Best boot ever made, IMHO for normal riding. Sadly, don't make them anymore.

Reebok Velocity, 8" side-zip water-proof tactical duty boots.

Previously made by Converse.

Both were made under contract from Warson Brands.

Popular name is "Moon Boots".

 

Don't laugh, I ride a standard. These boots saved me from a broken ankle, smashed toe, etc.

And they stay dry inside, in the rain and deep water.

You can actually walk or run or hike in them. Comfortable.

I have the same Alpinestars boots for track use, but my old street boots were shot and I wanted something new for street use this year. I wanted something waterproof that was really protective but without the track features I don't need on the street, like toe sliders. It was a longer search than I expected, but since I'm doing a lot of work for RevZilla these days, I had access to some expert advice (OK, actually all RevZilla customers have access to their expert advice), and I ended up with the Dainese TRQ-Tour Gore-Tex boots. They're highly protective and waterproof but still reasonably comfortable. I wrote a full review of them here if you want all the details.

12 year old Sidi motocross boots. Best $266 I ever spent.

[oldschoolsdime92]

I have an old school pair of bates fast lane boots. Brand new. Size 9. I would pass them off to whomever wanted them for the price of shipping.
