Boot Suggestions?

[simonwb]

I am wanting to buy some good boots for riding around town and everyday use (I would be riding around town while working, for example).

I'd strongly recommend these: Furygan San Remo.

Look good, proper motorcycle boots, certainly shower if not rainproof, extremely comfortable.

I finally picked out a pair of boots! I got some Joe Rocket Orbits:

They're pretty comfortable and offer ankle and toe protection and don't stick out like a sore thumb under a pair of pants. Thanks for your suggestions, everybody, I might look into another pair of boots later for more spirited riding or all-weather riding.

I also finally settled on a pair of new boots. Going to try out these...

FirstGear Express Motorcycle Boots :: New Enough, LTD

BTW, New Enough took back the new Ridge boots and gave me a gift certificate for 110% of the price. SWEET! So, these new ones only cost me $28.54 with the cert and shipping ($0.54).

Eric, thats not fair .Why can't I get a deal like that .I,m still using my 15 year old Rossi's (been re soled once and re zipped twice ).........but they do fit nice

I like the Cortech Solutions boots. Waterproof, not too warm and comfortable. For $120, they are a great deal.

Sorry Mick!

Well, I did spend $120 there to get the Alpinestars and they did not fit. When you return to New Enough AND accept the gift certificate instead of a refund, you get the 110%.

Since I needed the boots and I knew I'd be shopping there, it made sense to get the certificate.

Now I know these are brand new style boots and they are not listed as the best protection but they have two key elements, waterproof and a DEEP zipper which I need for very high arches.

What would it take for someone like me to buy you something and ship to Aussie Land? If I mark it a gift, does anyone have to pay any extra?

I use Alpinestars S-MX for all road riding, touring and wear them all day with no discomfort at all http://www.alpinestars.com/SMX_Shoe/pd/np/113/p/251307.html

On the Track I use track boots which is great for this purpose but the S-MX is great for street use.

Cheers Bard

Steve (wrightme43) and any others who have the Sidi B2 boots. Do these boots have a rigid exterior? You know kinda like the shell on a ski boot?

The reason I ask is that my foot broke in my accident because my Tourmaster Solution boots allowed a lot of lateral movement. My foot basically rolled so that it bent up and out toward my ankle.

I imagine a boot with a rigid structure would not allow this type of "folding" of the boot.

I really wish I could go and try these boots on, but no one seems to carry a great in store selection of race boots.
