That's what I normally wear!
Same for the leather jacket. I don't need it unless I'm crashing.
I just visited the downtown Bay store. They didn't have the 'Zip' boot. The 'Rise' boots (6" lace-up) are priced at $280. I didn't like the sole - not grippy-enough for my liking. You'd be better off buying Doc Martens - 6" lace/side-zip Docs are $160 at the same Bay store, and they have a grippier sole.

Thankyou you saved me a drive downtown to buy a pair of Zips tomorrow. If my air head Beemer ever starts again, they'd look the business.
Says "biker-style" right in the description. Probably well made boots but no extra protection for the ankles etc. If it's good leather they'll stand up to a slide but won't help prevent joint bends. As long as your informed before you decide what to wear to each his own.

This extremely durable boot is made with a full grain oiled leather. It features an injection molded front shin guard and three new alloy buckles, which are replaceable. It is also waterproof thanks to a breathable membrane liner we call “GAERNE DRYTECH”. A gum rubber sole completes the task for a great feel and control of the bike.
these are the best boots I have ever owned/wore

many different colors and styles and for under $200 well worth the money
I love my CSA ones. Really comfortable and so much lighter than other CSA boots.Meh, used to be a big fan of Blundstones (stand all day working the machines) but newer ones seem less comfortable. The CSA safety versions are borderline satanic though. The soles might as well be concrete, even with expensive inserts and anti-fatigue mats; there's a nasty seam that digs into the top of your feet, getting worse as the day wears on. Two pieces of elastic fabric don't count as ankle protection.
Pulled the trigger on these after seeing some use on the VStrom forum. I was concerned about shifting. Looking forward to them.
