Hoblick Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Dood... just gets some full coverage boots. Fuck that shit. Kinda a waste IMOnot gonna be hitting the track or wearing a full suit. full coverage boots are uncomfortable IMO, especially for street duty.. so i want something along these lines for protection and comfort.. anythign is better than a tennis shoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCloud Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I agree much much better than tennis shoes! I guess I am kind of a gear stickler... I always wear my full boots (currently sidi b2). I leave my dress shoes at work, and put flip flops in the back pack when I go to meet people.When I was kid I watched my mom put a dirt bike peg through her calf (wearing tennis shoes, trying to hill climb), thus my boot enforcement....

Blitzburgh Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) I like these.. Like you I'm really not into the "race" boots but would still like some ankle and shift toe support that is better than regular shoes. Right now I have the Icon Super Duty boots but they are just to damn big in the toe area. I had to adjust my shifter a lot to be able to ride with those boots and it makes not riding with those boots hard... These are a bit $$$ so I don't know..I have tried some of those full size boots and found they are just to tight in the calf area.. Hell if I could find something that fits I might give a full size boot a try.. Edited February 6, 2009 by Blitzburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I wear full coverage boots every time I ride. Uncomfortable, yes. Going to protect my ankles and such when soccer mom hits me in her mini-van? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost1888 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have been looking for boots also and came across these earlier today. They are a little higher on the leg than the smx1 you mentioned but they look a little more comfortable. I have never owned riding boots so I don't know anything about the brand. Any of you guys know about TCX?http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=4527 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 those just dont look as protective as the Astarsplus i like the fact the Astars have no exposed strings, with a ratcheting top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exSRAaron Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 uncomfortable? my ass, maybe ur buying the wrong brand or something..if I'd get poser points, I'd wear my sidi's all the time, playing bball, walking the dog, takin' a deuce. full protection or a waste of money IMO. My full length boots undoubtly saved me from a broken ankle or broken leg when I got in a wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
