Primo Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Okay, so I did not listen to any of you. HaHa! I stopped in at my local Cycle Gear and they had Dainese Torque Out boots $50 off at $249. I talked to the manager and he said he could knock off another 20% so for $200 I bought these boots. They fit my foot well, got good reviews and seem to have the protection I am looking for without looking like moon boots. Also, very simple to get into and out of. Still cold here in CT but I will provide a full report when it warms up. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Little late to add my 2 cents I guess, but I have two pairs of Oxtar boots and love them, couldn't get my wide foot into very many others. I believe they're sold as "TCS" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Terminex Posted March 2, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2011 OK, in order here is what I use: Commuting Boots, to & from the office. (back when I had a job:-( Street riding boots. (these were my track boots until I started getting DEEEEEEP dents in the toe box due to soft soles on these - which is why they are VERY comfy to walking) Current Track Boots. If I am not on the track I spent 95% of my riding time in the A-stars. It is worth the hassle to deal with the boots (although they fit under dress slacks with no problem) There are too many bones in the foot / ankle that are delicate. Plus, I would rather a good set of boots between me & moving parts of the bike in case I take a spill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Conedodger Posted March 3, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hello, first post here. I'll add another option that I didn't see mentioned yet. I've used Cruiserworks boots for a few years now and really like them. Very waterproof and I can walk all day in them without discomfort. Not something I'd wear on a track day, but for commuting and such, they work great for me. I have a pair of Cruiserworks boots too. Have owned them since 2002. Have put about 35k miles on them. Definately water proof. Great commuting/touring boot. Been known to wear them all day at work. Unfortunately, I think the company has gone out of business.

Guest Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I wear Danner Telson. You can hunt in them, hike in them, wear them under jeans and look good. Easy on and easy off, gortex water proof. Probably not a MC specific protection but I dont think half of the others are either. Sidi makes a great boot but I cant hike 4 miles in them.

Member Contributer FHR Posted March 3, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 3, 2011 I've been waiting for the Sidi Laguna Gortex boots to hit the stores. First they were due out in February, then maybe March. Last I heard it will be late March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Knife Posted March 4, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 4, 2011 For touring, I've been looking at these Sidi On Road GoreTex boots. Nice and high and don't look like ballerina slippers. $325.00. Or these TCX Infinity GTX Boots, ~$360.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
