    Re: Riding Boots

    Work boots or engineer boots.

    I like my bovver boots for their multipurpose streetability. Most moto specific boots just seem to plasticy for me. Also seems like I would need to change out of them if I needed to walk around at any point.

    Re: Riding Boots

    I use to wear my combat boots (think work boots with soft material from the lower ankle up) but I just picked up some A* SMX5's from Duncan Moto for a steal. Wore them around the house to break in a bit and now I wear them when I ride. After about 30-40 miles in them in the past 2 days I LOVE them. Feel so much better than my combat boots. Got a funny look from the guards at the gate today coming into work in uniform with my big boots. But hey, I like 'em and now it's the only thing I will wear on my feet while riding.

    None of the poll options - always wear touring boots with protection. Oxtar Infinity (Oxtar is now TCX)

    Re: Riding Boots

    I wear these are foul weather days, and days where I'll be walking around a lot:


    And got these over the winter:



    I much prefer the Sidis, but they tend to squeak a bit while walking around.

    Re: Riding Boots

    Anybody got experience with large size boots/shoes... like 15's? I hate speeding big $'s for something that doesn't fit well. Who makes a good pair that lives up to it's labled size?

    Haha my A*'s do that too. SVX for me.

    What is the difference between the SVX and SMX anyways?

    Those would be almost ideal for winter riding in Maine, but if you're worried about water resistance, forget Gortex, try these:

    I like them because they match my helmet and keep my toes dry around all but the deepest slush puddles.
