Boots

[thunderstormgrowl]

So what are the recommended boots? I wear a size 14 and right now I can not wear my work boots. The toe is to tall and I fight to get under the shifter.

If that's the footwear you wear most, try adjusting the shifter lever.

I just wear some lightweight casual hiking boots from walmart. They have a pretty low profile toe, so they fit under the shifter very well. They are good stiff leather so they do protect pretty well too (this has been tested unfortunately).

Check out this link; they have everything! pretty reasonable $$ too. I got my boots there for under $100. don't know about you, but I pay more than twice that for my work boots

+1 on adjusting the shifter

I wear the A* SMX-R boots.

I really like the fit and protection they offer.

Here is a link with a video review $299

Sorry I don't think they go to size 14...

Not to gat all "gansta" but timberlands r the best boots ever!! I had my last pair 7yrs and would still have but I word in a garage and the oil and chems. on the floor finally ate the botoms off. HIGHLY recomended to all. Yes -+1 on shifter adjust. Read that and had my duh moment of the day

Every time I've tried on boots, I felt like there's no way I could move my ankle enough to even work the shifter. I was looking at just ordering the Joe Rocket Velocity and Alpinestars Miglia riding shoes and hoping they'll work for me. Anybody have any tips or suggestions?

I just ordered these. I wanted something comfortable since I ride like an old man most of the time. No offense old men, just saying...

I know these suck in the means of protection but my GF bought them for me a lil while back so I wear them for around town use:

Puma-Ducati Telestrada

and yes they have metal heels

Alpinestars One-O-One

Sidi Vertigo Air

I wear my work boots...tan leather Belleville's when in my ABU's, black leather Belleville's when in my dress uniform. I also wear the black leather pair when riding in civilian clothes. Both are very comfy, plenty of movement, and seem to offer a lot of protection. It would be nice to have something on the left toe to protect the leather from the shifter.

I use an these Joe Rockets or my 10 eye Dr. Martins. Docs are more comfortable but not as safe obviously.

Flaya, I have been eyeing those Icons for awhile. Let us know what you think of them.
