My Alpinestars boots are like a pair of slippers, I can walk miles in them too. They aren't the normal fashionable type boots...prob why I can wear them for so long. Whats the point in having a pair of boot if they aren't comfy off the bike?

I have a pair of Arlen Ness Boots! Wear them to Uni most days as I take the bike! Look pretty snazzy when I got them when they were white! Now they are a kinda grey colour! Bad times!

My Alpinestars are comfy but I take 'em off at work. I don't mind walking around town in them.

Can't really wear mine of the bike - something to do with them being the wrong size.
i have trouble finding boots and take what i can get and if they hurt walking its tough they are there for protection on the bike.

though my olds ones i loved and could walk for miles tho can't remeber the make!

I only wear mine on my bike. I don't think they look good with anything I have so would never consider wearing them oot and aboot.

I can walk about in mine but they are slightly clumpy and not hugely flexible but I guess that is in comparison to a pair of trainers that I would normally wear - however I don't see that as a bad thing. Makes me feel like they'd give me more protection in an off than something that's flexible enough to walk round in all day. Also they squeak like a bitch and I just cant be arsed to oil the parts

Wear them a lot when on a weekend away on the bike, basically they are the only footwear I take very often. I have walked to see various sights in them and halfway up Cadair Idris (maybe a slight exaggeration ) to watch jet planes flying low.
