    What kinda boots do you wear?

    I'm new to the motorcycle scene and looking for a pair of affordable, comfortable, safe motorcycle boots for dual-sporting. Some recommend boots from Marks Work Warehouse or Canadian Military Issue Gore-Tex Combat boots. Others say go with a certified motorcycle boot even though they are not comfortable, but for safety, like these: http://www.alpinestars.com/Web_Goret.../p/233507.html

    I really have my eye on these though: http://www.heroarmysurplus.com/canad...csukvrvgug2406



    So what kinda boots do you wear?

    I'm wearing a some kind of Gaerne race type boots right now.

    I ride on the street though, the plastic protection on the front can serve well, when rocks are thrown up by tires.
    They also have a bracing system to help prevent your ankle from giving out.

    Laces can be problematic if they are floating close to your bike's chain.
    The combat boots would be more comfortable when you're off the bike.

    There are trade offs and you need to make the choice, based upon how you are going to use the boot.

    I have two pairs. The X-Square are really comfortable and provide good protection when I'm just out and about. Wear them to work and wear them all day and they are really comfy. The X-Cube I just ordered and haven't received them yet but they are waterproof and provide much better protection.

    I've used the Icon Tarmac shoe, and it's pretty comfy

    and I also use the Alpinestars SMX-2. This is also very comfortable.

    i can't find it on the Alpinestars page... may be discontinued?

    The One-O-One shoe i don't own, but i've tried and it is very nice imo.

    Good luck

    I wear ones that go on my feet.

    Now I have a question, what kind of tooth paste do you guys use? This is very important information for my biker lifestyle.

    I like to switch it up.. you know, give my taste buds a curve ball every now and then first thing!

    Currently I have a tube of Colgate total. It's white.. very boring. I need some colour and sparkles in my next toothpaste.

    I enjoy listening to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

    Re: What kinda boots do you wear?

    Right now I got these, easy to put on and take off and look decent when you're off the bike...

    Looking into getting something more suitable for work though, so probably gonna pick up a pair of these very soon...

    Can't you just leave a pair of shoes at work to change in to?

    I wear my combat boots all the time, at work, when I go out, and when I ride. Be sure to tuck the laces in at the top.

    Off road I wear A* Tech 3s

    That's what I wear too. Dainese Torque Out boots. I bought them at Rider's Choice. They are narrow though, so if you have wide feet, they won't fit you. Otherwise, I find them very comfortable to walk around in.

    Thought about it, Done it a few times, but really I just want something a little more casual when I go out with my girl, ride to work, short trips around town etc...
