Boots?

[R. Warshawsky]

Been wearing HD engineer style boots for a long time, would like to switch to a less clunky but safe boot. Thoughts?

 

[Pmcb41]

I am not the best source of safety tips because I only wear a helmet about half the time, but when it comes to riding boots with an FTR I prefer western style boot. I have Roland Sands foot pegs that are very sharp. The western boot heel and the sharp pegs hold my foot in place better than anything I’ve ever tried. They are much lighter and less bulky than “biker boots” (I prefer thin leather) they cover higher up the ankle to protect exposed leg from the bent knee position causing pants to ride up high.

I got these because they have some protection plus can wear all day in the office before riding home. Seem to have good quality.

I have many boots but for riding the FTR these are my favorites:

I realise you're not a woman, but I've been eyeing these off as somethign a little more casual that I could wear if going out and decide to take the bike:
Women's Leather Bryant Sneaker -Black – Indian Motorcycle Australia (imcaustralia.com)

I am however a little concerned that they might not offer much ankle protection but they might also be awesome?
(just checked - yes there's a mens version)

Wore them in the Military for many tours and like an old friend I find them hard to give up after all we've been through. Get used for work and riding and last about three to four years of constant use.

Magnum Vipers.

Comfortable as a training shoe and resilient in the harshest conditions.

I recently added a set of Icon Stormhawk’s to my boot/shoe collection and they have instantly become my go to. Easy on/off, comfortable, waterproof.

Love my engineer boots and great for cruising -




On summer days (although these are also waterproof - I'm in the UK...so as I said, on 'summer' days) -



And for sports/track riding -

I recently got the RSD x White's Foreman Tobacco boots, link and pic below. They are incredible. I think they look amazing, they are very comfortable, and will last longer than I will, lol. They are a little expensive, but they are high quality and worth it...to me.

I was considering picking up a air of those boots in oxblood. RSD offers great gear but their reputation for footwear has been poor up to now.

Anyone tried the Sidi Aria GTX?

I third the reax Fulton air's. They have great ankle protection, breath reasonably well in the heat, comfortable, the tread is super soft rubber so they grip the road well, and they are fairly affordable. My only complaint is that the laces don't tuck into anything so they could get caught on your peg/shift/brake lever.

I know they may not be the best motorcycle shoes, but I currently wear Columbia hiking boots as my riding boot. Not sure which model they are, they are comfortable, waterproof and sturdy enough that I don't feel like I'm skimping on safety. They also double as my work shoe, so that's a plus.

Before these, I wore Irish Setter Marshall pull-on boots. Those were also great, but not as "transparent" feeling as the Columbia's. I always knew they were on my foot, even though they were comfortable.
