Motorcycle Boots
Hi Guys, I am looking into getting a new pair of boots, however I would like to find a pair that are good for walking in when off the bike as I am fed up of riding somewhere and then clumping around when off the bike.
Can anyone make any recommendations? |

Re: Motorcycle Boots
motorbike boots are not made for walking..
sidi's are ok to walk but not too far. get the best you can afford.. my sidi's kept my bike off my foot..fair enough fractured/broken toes, but it could have been a LOT worse if i had cheap boots. hope this advice helps.

I had an accident in 2007 where I cracked my heel bone and fractured my ankle. It would have been a lot worse if I didn't have decent boots on. Take other footwear with you to walk in. Walking comfort should be a low priority |

Re: Motorcycle Boots
Best bots by far for walking in are Sidi Black Rains. They are great boots but i wouldnt walk about in them for long in summer as you'll likely boil to death from the feet upwards.

Re: Motorcycle Boots
another thing that should be mentioned about sidi's is they have cr&p sole life but soles are only £18
