marcredd Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I wear the Alpinestars Octane Boots for my everyday rides. Very comfortable and well built. A tad on the heavy side but you feel like you have good, safe boots on your feet. So to me, that negates the fact that they feel a bit heavy. Anyway, they can be found for between $129-$169. I have the Alpinestars SMX-2 for when things are a bit more on the serious side(backroads). They have the toe sliders and are alot more firm. They're also acceptable at some tracks. I caught a fair deal with an online retailer since I was buying 2 different types of Alpinestars at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 My everyday boots are alpinestars web gortex.100% waterproof and have been extremely durable. I do everything in them- pit bikes, adventure touring, backroads, commuting...I've also got a pair of sidi vertigo air's ($$$) that will probably sit on the shelf for a while since I don't have a sportbike right now.

Squidy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I love my sidi vertigo air boots! VERY comfortable, light, excellent airflow, thin enough to wear under jeans, and great protection!I would def. buy again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 ^ +1 I have Sidi Vertigo boots. They are a race boot so they go up your calf, but they feel good. I wear them under jeans all the time, they breathe pretty well, are fairly light, and are comfortable to stand around in for a little bit, just not too long.One negative is the boot is definitely designed for a leather suit to be tucked in, so there's a lot of room around your calf when wearing jeans. Overall, for a race boot, it does pretty well as a street boot. I got them for $160 shipped very slighty used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrobb Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/36/1886/ITEM/Joe-Rocket-Super-Street-Boots.aspxI picked mine up at Mid Ohio this year. Only paid $45 for them on sale. They retail between $120-180 so I got a great deal. Really like them. Very comfortable, even over long rides. Feel very durable. Would recommend them very much.
