I DO have a rather nice long (ankle length) leather coat however - made by the same person that made my leathers tho so maybe Camden here I come............

I have some of these that I use for the warmer weather.

Ankle pads take a bit of breaking in, but other than that they are pretty good, handy for poppong down the shops/into town when wearing jeans etc.

I guess loosing a couple of toesand having a year of pain from it (and that's threw proper motorcycle boots) gives me a different perspective on this stuff, I realised answering another thread I've a pair of those Kevlar Biker jeans that I've never worn, thinking about it for the same reason.

Although better than normal trainers, nowhere near the protection of boots, given the same accident, I'd have probably lost half a foot in them

Cheers Mark.

I had Joe rocket atomic's for a few years.

Good fit and really good in the summer on hot days. I could wear them in the office with few people noticing, but this really depends on the type of office it is.

I'd rather take a little time when "just popping out....(wherever)" than take chances.
