    What boots do you use on your cruisers ?

    What boots do you use on your cruisers ?I have a pair of Dainese torque out left from my VFR.But I think they are too much for a cruiser .

    08 VRSCDXA
    99 VFR800
    90 GSXR1100
    88 600 Katana
    84 VF500F
    84 Yamaha XS 400
    84 Suzuki GS400

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting '..holy **** ....what a ride!'

    A cruiser is still a bike and you're risking the same level of injury. The more protection the better. Of course, you can ride your cruiser wearing Crocs if you wanna, but if you already have a pair of boots that will offer you solid protection, there's no valid reason for you not to wear them.

    I wear big black boots, kind of like Doc Martens but not. Like the same, only different.

    I wear just a regular boots from Sketchers (zipper on the side). I'm trying to stay away from snickers with laces.

    I have a decent pair of Harley Davidson boots. They are sturdy, but pretty useless for touring as the water comes right it. I'm in the market for something waterproof. Alpinestars has some nice touring boots.

    i have a boot that is similar to a combat boot. it has laces but uses a zip on the side and is very light and comfortable as well it is partially constructed with kevlar. very tough boots that vent reasonably and offer good ankle coverage. no steel toe or shank just a good tough sole and reasonable rugged construction. they are light and easy to walk in as well. i got them locally at head to toe outfitters. great guy, rides as well. he is in lindsay.

    I use the A Star Ridge Waterproof boots ...
    They are more sporty than what most HD riders wear, but they do a pretty good job in the rain, they are very comfortable and they look decent when I go to a restaurant on my bike



    I used to have "cruiser" style boots, but I found that I was having trouble with the controls because they were too bulky

    My wife got me a pair of Joe Rocket Sonic Boots for Christmas so I don't know how well they'll work on my cruiser just yet but they seem pretty comfortable . This year I used Columbia hiking boots but found that after 14hrs of riding in the cold rain they really didn't keep my feet dry .

    I just bought a pair of waterproof Altimate boots. Got caught in the rain last summer on my way to Sudbury. That was not fun my running shoes got wet. Never again.

    Currently using 'foul weather' CDN army combat boots. Lace up tight with excellent ankle support, overall not that heavy or cumbersome.

    I replaced my Technic RR boots with them - couldn't really justify the premium expense of similar replacemnt motorcycle specific boot on my current budget.

    Icon Accelerant boots. Major boots! Love 'em! Plus they're so comfy, I wore them for a full shift at work (I'm on my feet walking for 8 hours) last summer when I rode the bike in to work and forgot my proper shoes!

    I use black steel toe safety boots, green triangle, which I find comfortable. I bought a pair of Frank Thomas riding boots with side zippers but they are not as comfortable.

    Depends on the kind of riding i'm doing.Long distance touring,Sidi GT Sympatex.Agressive street riding,Daytona Sport Evo's.Doesn't matter which bike.A crash on any bike envolves the same pavement.

    I'm liking the Icon Accelerant boots, Super duty 2's and field armour look great.
    Running shoes and hiking boots are just plain risky...been lucky so far.

    It's a personal choice for me, mostlt I wear cowboy boots or side zipper male hookerboots. Just be comfortable and secure in your decision.
