Puma Testastretta II Mid Boots - RevZilla
Try 'em all on - manufacturers size and fit vary a little. Keep in mind they will break in a little. You will not be disappointed with this decision. Riding boots are an amazing upgrade.
Consider boots that you can leave on. I would not consider the Dynos very 'walkable' at this point, but I've only had them a few weeks. The shifter plate is very rigid creating a tight corner as the boot flexes. Who knows that all may change.
Still, if the gear up/down is bothering you... you should be able to find a solution much safer than sneaks, but comfortable enough to wear at school. Side bonus... anyone tries to mug you for your text books? KEEEYAAAH. (Kung Fu Fighting soundtrack optional on select model boots)
I don't think there are any kind of motorcycle shoes/boots that would be able to satisfy the need for protection and usable for around walking.
Whether it's going to be a short or a taller boot, I will need to keep a second pair of shoes at the office/school anyway. Which is why I am considering getting taller boots.
Any boots/shoes that would satisfy both conditions of protection and all around walking, would be just glorified sneakers with some added padding in the ankle area. If I am to spend $100 for that, I might as well just spring for Teknic Chicane Street boot.
You should really look into BMW boots - good protection and comfy to wear all day.
From what I saw at the BMW dealership the boots looked pretty great.
i am going to have to stop by soon and try some of them on.
I found a deal for TCX S Zero boots for $135. Seemed like a steal.
So the boots came in today.
They look pretty damn sweet.
Can't wait to ride in them!
though I am going to have to get used to the stiffness of them. I can already imagine the difficulty with shifting gears.
Jumping in this thread because I saw a pic on reddit this morning of someone who got hit with some stray metal at 80 wearing cheap boots. Sent chills down my spine and made me realize the cheap Icons I wear as an excuse to claim I wear "all my gear" really aren't adequate.
I was looking for a boot of the tall style:
Alpinestars S-MX Plus Boots, Alpinestar SMX Plus Racing Boots, Motorcycle - Compacc
Not set on that one specifically, but you get the point.
Suggestions of brands/models in the $250 range?
