i've no idea about safety but surely if they weren't very safe you wouldn't see the likes of sidi and alpinestars making them? they look so nice though! and think i may have to get myself a pair aswell

If I were to wear a pair of these I'd be making sure my leather trousers had shin protection.

If Stu had been wearing something like that when he hit that fence post I doubt he'd enough shin left to pin together.

I own a pair of those exact alpinestar boots. Very comfortable for walking and I think they are an acceptable compromise for around town/low speed. Normally wear them with kevlar jeans so I can just jump off and walk around and they just feel like normal shoes. Obviously they lack the protection of proper boots but I think the main benefits are abrasion protection the sole wont crush easily, therefore hopefully neither would your foot!
Nice to have, but they were a bit expensive for the limited use they get. |
