As an older dude who's ridden bikes since I was a kid, have to say you made a great video for every new rider. Nice work sir.
I appreciate that! Thank you.
Most biker boots and all HD boots are cheap shit Chinese boots.
Not sure about that, I've seen some pretty good boots around the place - maybe I don't really understand what makes a quality boot? - does it really matter what country they are made in I have bought some good "made in china" products
@@OldNotDead-Club If you live in America. I always say buy American. The job you save maybe your own.
If Chinese boots are ok then why not a Chinese Harley Davidson.
To some it does not matter.
@@richpuller1348 I see your point. Also the world is moving away from globalisation anyway. It might be easier in the future to buy local.
@@OldNotDead-Club Many HD dealerships in the US are being bought up by big companies. HD does not want mom and pop owned dealerships. Black Hiss HD in Sturgis SD just sold and I think the big HD in Daytona Beach FL. just sold
@@richpuller1348 seems to be the way of the world at the moment in many types of businesses. Dangerous for us.
I would say motocross boots but mine don't have a rugged tread pattern and are rather smooth possibly slippery. That could make a difference between dropping a heavy bike or not.
Falco Rangers, no 1.
Tick every box 👍☝️
OK, I just got back from buying my first pair of red wings in over 40 years. I’m blaming you. 😂🙏
Lol, which ones?
Rangers, of course. Just something to wear a little more fashion foreword. Far more comfortable than expected.
I swear to god you were going to put on those pumps and ride on the harley for the stick around to the end part. Disappointed but also relieved. I wear those blue steel work boots - my boots have the ankle protection and heel protection on them so perhaps its a new model ? I also got some RST stunt riders ( mega comfortable difficult to put on and off though ) when I'm riding something that needs a little more finesse with the toesys.
LOL i'm relieved too. The steel blues just died the other day -- but they lasted a long time
I've got a slippery sole pair of boots too.
Actual motorbike boots with smooth soles.
Crazy....and definitely dangerous.
Very dangerous
I wear Danner Tanicus Boot.
I'm currently looking at some Harley Davidson Riddick 8 Inc leather boots. What do you think of the Harley Davidson Riddick Boots?
Danner
I'm not familiar with those boots, sorry
A bunch of viewers thought they"d finally found a solid reason to purchase those Iron Rangers. Not to be fellas. 😆
lol
Blunnies. Steel toe, I like them, not proper bike boots.
I don't like power ranger boots
I liked my traditional old Steel toe bike boots. heavy but comfortable.
Thanks, that's a popular choice
I wear on the Road Glide, Johnney Reb Rogues, no stupid hi texan heal good ankle protection and water protection once you soak them a few times in water proofing bees wax or other. For winter I have Revit Gortex Boots. On the Fatty the Jonny Rebs or sometimes for Bike night a some dririder high cut leather sneakers with angle protection. Work boots don't have enough ankle protection.
Thank you great advice
Since I have stupid wide EE feet, I find most boots / shoes way too narrow so its' Converse / Van hi-tops with waterproof socks for me :-)
lol, I always found converse too narrow ( for decades) and then I tried a pair and they are fine, i have few now.
Just got the Falco Ranger WP urban boot. When form follows function you can't go wrong.
Hi, what about the typical square toe style boots, zip inside, metal loop on the outside? Do you think they are any good?
It depends on the actual boot
I can’t seem to convince my 26 year old son that sandals aren’t safe on a motorcycle. He rides an Indian FTR and my old road king.
Not sure you can convince anyone - sons often just do the opposite of Dad's
Boots from the pacific northwest in the states are awesome, basically indestructible. Wesco, Nicks, and some others make for great riding boots.
Thanks I will look them up
Do to my short size I wear Doc Martens as the platforms they put on some give me an extra inch to 1.5”.
Cool boots!
Good video if you are a child. Any 12 year old would know this information.
Thanks for appreciating my youthfulness and that of the audience. We are impressed and will keep up the good work.
I wear what looks like traditional cowboy boots.
It's what I grew up in, in the Ozarks (South West Missouri USA).
I transitioned from a quarter horse to an iron horse.
The particular pair I wear has steel toes and chemical resistance nonslip soles.
Round toe not pointed or square toe.
There are my work boots and my daily boot.
I very rarely wear anything else.
I wanted to add because of my 78 shovelhead with the 3-inch open primary.
I never wear anything with laces, a recipe for disaster if a lace comes loose and gets into the engine pulley.
yes an open primary and shoelaces, ouch!
I wear regular red wing boots from the best of the most cultural list high top still talk.
Great boots, thanks for watching
As i hung up my riding boots for 10 years and the the rest of the riding gear, everything ended up being replaced, sitting in the cupboard, boots had fallen apart after a week of returning to riding, i tried to repair them. Eventually they got tossed, and i could not replace them the company stopped manufacturing them. As i went with a Honda 750 the boots i purchased was to high when changing gears and the toe would get stuck as well as the heal on the pegs, i did not want to adjust the gear lever i was comfortable with its position. Picked up some good cheap boots second hand. Eventually sold the bike. purchased a H.D the gear lever was to high for the cheap boots, I just needed the wider toe. That was good i just then needed to adjust my height. After searching online and travelling to the city and trying on many different brand shoes and many different bike stores. Now being a touring road bike, i was looking at road boots and could not find anything, that suited the height, comfort, length, zipper and the wider toe with safety features. I then started googling dirt bike gear, but that gear did not suit a Harley let alone a person dressed in H.D riding gear. I came across Adventure boots, wide toe, good tread for different surfaces and grip, it had the height, length of the boot came in two sizes short or long and comfort and waterproof to a certain amount of water depending on how much time spent in the wet weather, also came in two or three colors black, tan or brown. And the looks fantastic on the Harley, comfortable to walk in for long distances, climbing stairs, Easy to get on and off by the buckles, dry overnight if they get wet you wouldn't even know your feet were wet. They keep you warm, no amount of wind gets through they are a strong durable thick leather. You showed some good pointers of interest.
What brand are your adventure boots?
Thanks, it does take a bit of trial and error to get what you specifically need
@@Jonathan-L Shark
now your telling me i cant wear my read pumps??? how will i be pretty on a Saturday night? I've worn sandals for 50% of my riding over the last 50 years.. so
Lol, of course you can lol
@@OldNotDead-Club good caz id look ridiculous in a dress without them.
Looks is where it is at bottom of list. If your boots new, sell the bike and just be a poser
Thanks, aesthetics are important in every area of your life
Forma Adventure Low boots feel very comfortable and offer an aggressive non-slip sole, and plenty of protection for the ankle and above. Good leather makes them look appropriate too while cruising on my old Fatboy.
I just bought the Stylemartin Yu Roc’s due to my RevIt boots not being resoleable. They are a softer leather but have CE armor, look great, waterproof, fairly light weight, Vibram sole and very functional on my Ducati ST4S as well as my Guzzi California 1400 Custom with floorboards. They already fit like a glove and are built to last.
Great review.
Thanks
I love my Indie Ridge motorcycle boots. They are super comfortable and offer a decent level of protection.
Thanks, I will look them up, haven't heard of them before.
Yes definitely Indie Ridge has great motorcycle boots. Also gloves and neck gaiters that are excellent quality
On my first season with Indie Ridge as well. Like everything about them so far and great people to deal with.
Been wearing my King Gees for the last 7 years! Love em, never worried about how I look like. They’re tough leather, anti slip on just about any surface and they last forever.
Thanks for watching, many boots to choose from
Most motorcycle injuries are to the foot and lower legs, a huge number of these caused by people dropping their bike on their leg while its stationary breaking bones in the lower leg hence why proper boots go up the calf are stiff and have ankle armor, I still ride in my steel blue work boots but looking into options since I discovered this info recently.
Thanks great idea
I witnessed a crotch rocket Rider slide across the highway in front of me. He was wearing a leather jacket blue jeans and sneakers.
He was uninjured accept his foot had a puncture wound.
Had he been wearing boots he probably just would have bruised his foot.
@@dangillen4759 great point
What are your thoughts on Indie Ridge motorcycle boots, other than better than non motorcycle specific. Coming at you from the US.
Steel toe Engineer boots made by, Carolina
Thanks
How about Engineer boots? those are the go-to in the US.
Yeah sure, plenty of options.. actually endless
I wear workboots (high)
Steelcapped nose, steel plate in the sole
Watertight, heat resistant, anti slip, anti static
Also I miss the front part of my right foot, so I need the stability
The factory I used to work at required steel toe boots, so I rode with those too. As you say, the huge toe can be an obstacle and no ankle armor if you go skidding down the road. They're also too damn heavy to walk around in. Before our steel toe requirement, I used to wear boots like your brown ones, only with rubber soles. Still have them. They last forever, just need a sole put on from time to time. The ankle leather seems much tougher than my work boots. The one downside is laces. For some reason, those thin waxed type don't like to stay tight or even knotted very long. Bad news on bikes w/o shaft drives.
In the winter or if I'm traveling long enough I don't trust the sunny forecast, I wear purpose built zip up, goretex, calf high motorcycle boots.
Most of the time I wear those ankle high motorcycle boots, like your tennis shoe boots, only they're black and don't look like tennis shoes. I have one pair of them that's perforated to flow air on the hot days and another that's supposedly waterproof for cooler days or days it may rain on a local ride. Unlike my regular boots, they're throw aways. But a few seasons for a $150 seems reasonable to me.
Yeah a lot of people don't like shoe laces but if they are done up with double knots and sit high I don't think they are dangerous. A lot of great choices now for boots.
Alright, I have to rescind my previous statement.
I did buy those Cody James square toes. I did ride in them. I did think that was the right match.
Then, two weeks later, the heel started pealing off of the clutch foot boot. They were great, but they just weren't made for this purpose.
So I picked up a pair of Milwaukee Leather MBM9062. Harness, square toe...but actual riding boots. These will hold up much better. F++kers weren't cheap, though. $160 Yank.
Yep good boots cost $
I wore Fryes for years, but now I'm running ICON Stormhawks. I like the wire ratchet tighteners. So it's not too hard to slip them on. Plus they make it easier to walk in after reaching a destination where the Fryes were uncomfortable to walk in.
Thanks, to me that's a major consideration (comfortable at destination)
I wear tennis shoes on all my motorcycles.if u don't know oh well because we ride in a different way than most people
Thanks spot on!
OK, I can give a comment. I try to when I have anything to add so...
I had to change my style when I started riding again. I am a Red Wing guy, but I quickly realized that square toes would be better for riding. I am from the American South and while I have never worn them in my life, people here like Cowboy boots, and these days they make those with square toes. I also don't like the idea of laces on a bike (even though my bike is shaft driven, old habits from chain drives stick in my mind). So I decided to go that way.
So I grabbed a pair of Cody James square toes. The heels are actually a nice added bonus, although the left one is wearing down faster than the right. For me, they are the perfect riding boots.
BUT...I did not realize until they arrived that the Cody James boots I bought were of a soft leather. I don't know what you call it, but it is the kind that is leather, but has the texture of suede. Or maybe that is just what suede is...I really don't know. In other words, rain and weather were going to put spots all over them pretty quickly. So I solved that by "staining" them all the way, evenly while waterproofing them at the same time, with mink oil.
Thanks
IMO I think functionality is #1. If the boot is too bulky or stiff or the soles are slippery they are fighting you when controlling the motorcycle. No matter how much crash protection they offer it’s not worth it if it affects control.
Thanks that's spot on, it can be very dangerous if your footwear isn't functional
You showed only 'one' pair of 'boots'. The rest were simply "high top shoes" ! And no matter how much you like them, that doesn't make them 'boots' !
There is no such thing as 'high top shoes' that are "boots"! Boots are boots, and shoes are shoes. And NO shoe, high top or otherwise, are safe to ride motorcycles ! But some have to get their ankle bones ground completely away before they will face it !
Fact is you just want to be more comfortable than safe, so you kid yourself about ' motorcycle shoes' . Again, there is no such thing ! Get over it !
You'll either dress appropriately, and afford yourself the maximum amount of opportunity to survive a skid on the pavement, or you'll chance it, and maybe pay the big time price of losing a foot or leg. Up to you. The problem I see with bad decisions about 'motorcycle shoes', is when you talk in front of thousands of new riders, in an imaginary way about 'riding shoes', calling them 'riding boots', being safe to wear riding. First you present yourself as qualified to speak on the subject having 40 years experience, then you mislead less experienced riders, with that BS about 'riding shoes' ! (boots!)
Boots don't stop at your ankle ! Never did ! They come up your leg somewhat, maybe 10 or 11 inches, or more ! The higher, the better, for riding bikes ! A great example, is what motorcycle police wear. Those are MOTORCYCLE BOOTS !! And they will protect your hide in a slide down the pavement like NO SHOE, high top or otherwise !! Are there other less extreme boots, yes, but the taller, the better !
Are they some times a little hot? Yes. Maybe be a 'fair weather rider', and be safer.
Just a tip for the less experienced... I wear BOOTS ! And when I went down at 75 mph, I stood up with ALL of my hide in place, and untouched !
Yes, to each his own. If you've ever seen a case if 'road rash', maybe you'll re- think the high top shoes as motorcycle boots BS.
Be safe, rather than regretful.
RUBBER DOWN
THROTTLE UP !
Yes you are correct and thanks for the detailed comment. There is always more protection. For the guy that will wear his converse on the bike -- motorcycle shoes are a better option. Where do you stop? Pretty easy to get dehydrated fast with too much protective clothing here in summer? Horses for courses and yes of course that makes it more dangerous
if you go for a ride on a harley and you haven't got a mate with a ute
the best boots are the ones you can walk home comfortably in
Sure happens all the time lol, not!
@@OldNotDead-Club
sure as shit did with my old shovel
@@iancampbell2340 lol, yes well old "vehicles" will always have more drama's.
Very rarely would I wear casual sneakers or “runners” on the bike. I used to always wear the same lace-up side-zip 6” tactical boots I wore for work but recent years has been mostly protective motorcycle specific sneakers or boots.
I have a variety but much like your top picks my absolute favorites that tick all boxes are my black TCX MOOD GTX or 6” Brown Oiled Timberland Pro Direct Attach soft toes. Both waterproof, slip resistant and the TCX’s offer great ankle support and protection while the Tim’s are perfect for anytime, anywear, that I’d feel safe in a crash but I think it’s a more popular boot for us New York folk.
I also like my 10” Harness and Engineer boots, I have choices ranging from Schott NYC, The Flathead, Frye, Indian and Double H. All welt constructed for proper re-sole and I also have a black Tim style HD boot that’s pretty good and the Midland sneaker boot that has some nice features as well, just don’t appear to be as durable as some of my other offerings.
I have Iron Rangers and 1,000 Mile boots but like you said, better for casual wear.
Cheers!
Thanks for the informative comment, appreciated
I tryed all kind of boots over the last fourthy five years riding motorcycles, but for the last decades, I only wear those Lowa Combat boots GTX. Waterproof Goretex liner inside, strong, and you can walk all day on them. If it's good enough for police and militairy, it's good enough for me ! 😆 On hot summerday's I use the lower and lighter Lowa Renegade boots. Lowa boots are not cheap, but last for years 👍
They look like good boots, I will have to try a pair
Hi Old but not Dead, laced up Dr. Martens for 20 years, scored some zip up black Harley Davidson boots, really love ‘em, miss the Dr. Martens, because they were broken in but there was a hole from the gear shifter 😂appreciate all you do for the HD community,ride safe, be Blessed, Aloha Kenneth
Thank you Kenneth
Hi Ayman,I have been riding bikes 45,years ,on my harley, I wear gasolina boots,hand made ,absolutely beautiful, Goodyear welted soles,beautiful leather,and they look good,,years ago wore Lewis leather boots,regards Mike 🇬🇧
Thanks I will look them up
I always wear a good CE rated protective boot. Some years ago my foot got trapped under a BMW cruiser on a painful slide; my body went one direction the leg the other. Lots of lower leg injury but the boot saved me from losing toes. I hate to think what the outcome would have been if I had been wearing my Blundstones. Love my Blundstones but for the bike the first choice is my Altbergs
Thanks
A pair of trainers are the best .
So you can run away from the Harley dealership before they collar you .
Those wine red high heels look rather large is there something your not telling us .😂🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺🏍
LOL
It’s your favourite piss taking Brit , hope alls good mate 😁👍🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺

So stay safe , stay healthy and all the best to your family 😁🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺🏍
@@jamesbatten8659 thank you very much James that's appreciated
All I wear are boots everyday. I have a nice pair of high Red Wings and they are both comfortable and very durable. I also still have my Black Cadillacs from my days in the MARINES. Those things are so broken in I don’t even feel like I’m wearing boots at all. But they are nice bike boots.
Thanks Tim, yep boots can be VERY comfortable, love my Red Wings
Hard Yakka 3065 work boot comfortable, hard wearing, steel caps, tough sole, a must have for me is a boot with a side zip so in the worse case scenario it's real easy for the ambo's to remove them. And the big bonus is you don't look like a try hard wanna be GP rider.
Yeah they are great work boots. The black ones in the video finally gave out and I got a hard yakka pair also
I wear "Graphite" boots from target with ankle support, steel cap & great tread with slip resistant sole & oil resistant too.... Also comfortable ❗ & not expensive either....
Keep Living the F#@KING Dream ❗
Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾
Thanks Tex, good choice
I alternate between Dingo harnes style boots and Timberland hiking boots. I just bought a pair of Dr. Marten's and need to put some miles on them, but I think they will replace the Timberlands, since they are very comfortable to wear and walk in
Cool boots!
I wont wear anything except a steel or compost toed work boots. If I every get the unfortunate experience of rolling down the road they will protect my feet. In my opinion they provide more protection then most "motorcycle boots". Good work boots are not cheep as i payed over $150 for good Timberland boots. I always carry a pair of sneakers in my bag so if I get off and want to do a lot of walking I just change into them.
That's pretty disciplined of you to carry the sneakers - well done
I wear the basketball ball type boots. Loads of protection, waterproof and really comfortable. I can wear them at work and nobody would know I came in by bike. Apart from the noise. 😅
lol, so many good options available
Love the video can you do a video on gloves 🧤 there’s really nice ones out there
I’m a new subscriber to your channel. Appreciate your point of view on the topics I’ve seen so far. Keep up the good work. From British Columbia, Canada.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for being a subscriber that's much appreciated
Had to get the riding sneakers with my vrod
The boots , it’s hard to change up gears,
I like the look of Harley Davidson sneakers
Yeah big boots are impossible on some bikes
I like red wing iron rangers
They are excellent
you speak about safety, but many riders wear short sleeves, jackets without protection, no gloves and no helmets.
That is correct. Sometimes I (and we) wear less when it's hot... but I always do something
@@OldNotDead-Club I have jacket for summer, textile mesh, with protectors. It is good also as protector against burned skin form sun.
@@ichbinmartin I do that too sometimes
@@OldNotDead-Club I also never wear shorts, I wore them a few times in the summer, but not once since I burned my leg on the exhaust. Such a warning was enough for me. I don't want to know what would happen if I fell.
@@ichbinmartin lol sorry shouldnt laugh, your exhaust sits high? I also never wear shorts. The jeans I always wear (98%) are infused with dynema and are abrasive resistant.
I wear my old "aircrew" boots, issued to me when I was active duty. Steel toe, leather, well above the ankle....perfect fit for up shifting. Time to get them resoled....
Sounds like you have gotten great use out of them
Hey Amon, great vid mate endorse everything you said , it's only after years of trial and error that you can give honest and real advice on motorcycle footwear .
Good stuff bro 💪 👊😎👊
Thank you
Nicks Urban Logger’s work well for me
Rossie Ripple sole boots
Thanks
Hi great job on all your videos just a question on your Corbin seat you have on your street glide, I have the same bike I am 1.8 tall Corbin recommend the tall version do you have a opinion on the solo seat? Thanks
It's absolutely awesome! I have done a 12 hour day on it no problem and it gets more comfortable as it ages. Leather top so breathes great also
If you ride a heavy motorcycle as I do (Indian Springfield) I wear heavy American steel cap motorcycle boots that are both lace and hook and side zipper. So it's easy to take them off. They have great grip so I can hold the bike up on dirt wet road concrete. And high ankle protection.
Thanks
In Hawaii we always wore flip flops when riding.
I wear my cowboy boots when I'm either going long distance or a chill ride. But my track boots for more spirited rides or I feel like looking like more of a biker boy
Thanks, so many choices
Texas Steer hikers and Carolina Loggers. Depending on the situation.
Thanks will have to look them up
Bought a pair of Falco Aviators today, they look like a nice pair of boots.
Cool
I use alpinestar track boots on the Zed 900 and engineer HD Boot on the Harley.
Thanks, there are so many great boots on the market to choose from
Nice review! I have been wearing tall motorcycle touring boots that use buckles like ski boots have. Much easier than lacing boots. My latest are shorter but still over the ankle ADV style boots.
Interesting that your wife wears Street Glide™️ boots!😜
LOL, best RG come back I have heard!
adding onto the work boots, I've hears EMS say that the steel caps can pinch and cut off toes when in an accident. Something to think about
Yes I have heard that too - BUT I have also heard this is BS -- lol who do you believe I'm not doing any real life tests
@@OldNotDead-Club haha I also won’t be a test dummy.
Met you on the MDB ride and have watched quite a few videos since.
Keep up the good work!
@@willbe7442 Thank you and welcome to the channel hope to see you again on a ride
The sole on the stylemartins, can be replaced,what we call a stitched sole,or Goodyear welted sole,regards Mike 🇬🇧
Thank you - that's it - lol
Laces on a motorbike boots is a definite no no to me.
You just have to be very careful how you tie and where you tie them
@@OldNotDead-Club nah, just not going to take the risk. Zipper, Velcro and buckles only.
I wear Ecco Gore Tex ankle lace boots. My most comfortable boots, longest lasting.
Thanks for the comment, nothing like comfy boots!
Thanks for advice. I was waiting for hi-heels🤪🤪🤪
Lol
Cowboy boots.
you will certainly look cool!

@@OldNotDead-Club those boots you talk about where are they made as I have trouble watching your vids as you prattle on like early stages of dementia
@@ballaratevil6048 well they would want to be good boots for that sort of coin lol, i thought redwings were expensive
@@ballaratevil6048 thanks heaps - i am getting older - but im going to skip the dementia thing.
I have a Shovel. So my footwear is strong good walking shoes. Cheers Rich
Lol, can't be that bad?
I once saw a photo of someone’s foot after it had been dragged along the ground with a motorbike on top of it. Something I’ve never been able to “un-see”. Stylish work boots do it for me now. I can’t get my brother to stop wearing thongs! Good video mate.
Thank you - spot on about protecting those feet
I've worn "Whites" brand Loggers/Smokejumpers for 30 years. Hand built and expensive, but worth every penny.
I will check them out
@@OldNotDead-Club Whites Boots in Spokane , Washington. 👍
I wear Belleville military boots.
Military boots work well like work boots, thanks
@@OldNotDead-Club Thank you sir. I do enjoy the vids.
Great video and thanks for the suggestions. I'm getting my new/old Dyna Wide this week and liked the boots stylmartin as they seem to offer the best protection. My thing is to make sure that you don't wear anything slippery like cowboy boots those things are like ice skates when it gets wet! Keep the video, s rolling great job! You the man!
Thank you that's much appreciated. Can't go wrong with the Stylmartin boots.
thanks for the info, I ride a Breakout and only ware HD boots tall and short in general. Ive be known to pop on for a ride in my horse kit boots but my HD boots are the boss. Safety fit comfort for shifting and looks are on the list ,, well what do know looks are important too☺.
Thanks, a lot of people love the HD boots. The Breakout is a cool bike!
Great video! I have the same Stylmartin boots (albeit in brown) and love them, as well! Mine are only one year old, so thanks for modeling yours. Now I know I don't have to do a damn thing in terms of upkeep and they'll look even better! lol
Yeah they are great boots
Looks never come into play. Safety, waterproof and comfort.
lol, you can have them all, my boots are safe waterproof, comfortable and look great if you like retro
I have the Gaerne G-Adventure Aquatech Boots (incredibly comfortable) and the SIDI Adventure 2 Gore Tex.
Does the red wing have the older style smooth sole or the new updated small Vibram lug sole?
It has the updated sole
Wonderful video for people to consider those five basic needs that a good rider really wants in a boot… truly your thinking right up my alley. I sure like your stuff. Hope to see a lot more of it.
Thank you and I hope to make plenty more video's. Have a new one coming out Sunday night 7.30pm AEST
I bought Chippewa boots in 2018, steel toes, 12" tops. We Yankees call them engineers boots, some people call them lineman boots. They aren't popular amongst the younger riders, I find them a excellent choice, both durable and long lasting.
Thanks they seem to be popular
I’ve also got myself a pair of safety work boots for riding they were stylish too so that was a plus!
i always wear high top engineer boots with rubber soles. no shoe laces because i had a lace get caught on the shift lever once but not twice.
Good advice, thank you. I am very careful with the laces on my boots
Indie ridge crows. Awesome boots. Company is awesome as well
Thanks, will check them out
I hope those wearing running shoes and shorts are watching this mate .Seeing their dress gives me the shivers .Good advice for old and new riders .Keep on .
Thank you
Blundies are the go , light, hard wearing, good price
Lol, they were my first my Harley boots and very trendy in the early nineties... but never again
I’m yet to find boots to suit, most are to chunky to fit between my footpeg & gear lever.
I wear Ariat western boots on and off the bike😊
Thanks for the vid 👌
I would have thought they would be too slippery? I have an extended shifter and break lever so almost anything fits.
@@OldNotDead-Club my fav pair have a rubber type sole. Thank you, I will look into getting an extended shifter👌
I use engineering boots square toe.
Thanks, they are pretty popular!
I am looking at some lace up boots. I don’t know if it was you or someone else said they could fly off if in a wreck.
@@clifffrench4858 That's a hard question to answer because any simulation of an accident won't really be accurate. On a track at high speed I wouldn't have laces personally but we are riding onm the street and this is relatively slow even when riding hard.
What helmet do you use??
You can always get the Redwings resoled, I have a pair I have worn for years, replace the soles and you may very well be good to go on a bike.
Thanks that's good advice
I can confirm, been doing this for years.
My choice, good quality engineer boot
Yeah good choice, thanks for your input
Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks for watching!
I'm a cowboy boot guy.
I still use the old school engineer boots ..love them
Thanks
