i has question : what should i get if i cant afford specialised motorcycle boots?
the difference between "boots" and "motorcycle boots" is the same as the difference between "flowers" and "wedding flowers" = absolutely ridiculous ..
$200 for a pair of shoes? how about $50?
Have you ever tried Daytona boots?
@@Ghryst NO. Armor makes a difference.
@@christianschmitt2409 $150 work boots have armour. better armour than most $300 motorcycle boots.
@@Ghryst I don't think you can quantify by price always, but the 50 you went for in the original comment probably don't. Heck, you suggest normal Boots instead of moto ones. Crushing and bending needs to be inhibited in case your bike falls onto your foot.
Need an updated version of these :)
Right!?!?
Right!!
Right?

For the sake of consistency...right!
Please update this one
I have no idea how I got to this video. But this guy is the most amazing reviewer I have ever seen. So engaging without the weird UA-cam over-exuberance. I want this guy to review and narrate my life.
And boy did he ever perfect that craft over the years.
2023 update bro?
Just wanted to say I've literally watched every one of your reviews. I'm
deployed right now, but when I get back to the states, I'm getting a
bike and going to get started riding. At the moment, I can't stock up on
gear with the gear you review specifically (going to try to slowly buy
all my gear so I don't break the bank too hard) but I've made sure to
take notes on all the relevant videos so I at least know what I'm
looking for so when I buy a cheaper alternative while save up.
So thanks, man!
i feel ya been binging on biker gear reviews lately too, keep finding better n better deals, still haven't pulled the trigger n bought any new stuff yet tho, its scary man what if i find a better deal after i do it?!
Keep your head low and see ya out there when you get back! 👍🏼
@@confuseurillusion did you make it back safe?
@@clover8673 oof
Hope you made it back man, thank you 🤙
Thanks for the great info. I would like to see one thing more though on your multiple product reviews and that is: the name of the product you are featuring at the time. Often you only mention the product name at its introduction, then mention how this compares to another model or product, mentioning this more often than the one being featured. It just makes it hard to remember which is what. I like your presentation so don't change anything there. A simple whiteboard with the product being reviewed at the time clearly visible would be a great thing to see. I like what you did with this review highlighting the features on the whiteboard but adding the name of the item somewhere would have been nicer. Thanks again.
Definitely need an update on this one now. Please?
I live in a pretty hot part of the country, and we get very little rain. I bought the Alpinestars Roam 2 Air boots, and they are phenomenal. This is one of the very few boots I've ridden in that actually flows a noticeable amount of air. I can actually feel the breeze passing over my feet while I ride, and it makes a world of difference when you show up to work and don't have sweaty, stinking feet trapped inside stuffy boots. They also look nicer than the average riding boot. I wore them under slacks at the office, and most people didn't notice right away that they were anything other than black leather dress boots upon a casual glance.
Anything that isn't really a boot, should not be considered as a motorcycle-boot. In other words, any boot which isn't high enough to give protection up to the level when it covers your shins, could just be functional as any boot. But you might only take that seriously once your shinbones has reached for air through your pants.
As a person with a currently broken leg, THIS.
I've had the Icon Super Duty 4.0 boots for 3+ years now. Hardly shows any wear except on the rubber toe dots and any spots where I've scraped it on something. Still comfy, still work great. No fraying on shoes or laces. Buckle still works pretty good but doesn't seem to hold the tension as well as when new.
I got my boot caught on my foot peg! Save to say it was an embarrassing fall
I am having the same issue with these exact boots in the video. The Toes are so damn big and hard I have trouble shifting. Anyone else have this issue? In regular timberland boots not issues at all...
KB Adams you can actually (most of the time) adjust your shift lever height, just did it today
Is there a legitimate reason why motorcycle boots are the ugliest footwear in existence? I get we need protection, but I see no reason why it can't be done with some style too.
2020/2021 update video please sir! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I come from a country where riding gears on a sub $5k bike is unheard of. needless to say, I don't really have a lot of friends to seek solid riding gear advices. I bought a pair of Forma Mirage Drytex (I paid extra for the waterproof version because it rains a lot here) because you know, I like me and stuff.. I have never watched a video that reviews the forma. Forma Mirage boots are sold as weekend fun ride shoes that isn't all that uncomfortable to walk in. So, what are your opinions on the Forma Mirage Drytex.
I've always been impressed with Forma boots. They're not a company that missteps with their products. But having said that, I've never worn the Mirage Drytex so I can't really comment on it. Good for you for gearing up, even though your fellow riders don't! It's worth it :) ~RyanF9
+FortNine Looking forward to the same. Keep being awesome. :)
Love your reviews; I've been considering upgrading my gear beyond the old school gloves, boots,and leather jacket (maybe chaps) bit, and I find your reviews very helpful in hopefully making an informed decision. Thanks again.
I've just bought my Roam 2's after seeing this video and Ryan is absolutely right, they're fantastic quality for the price.
Opinion on Gore-tex has definitely changed.
After having tried some non Gortex, waterproof breathable materials, I've found they none of them breath at all. They are all far worse than actual Gortex products. From now on I'm going to buy Gortex lined products if I'm expecting waterproof functionality.
A 2022 update would be greatly appreciated.
This guy needs more subs.
He has one more now. :D
Seth Glenn you would think Quentin Tarantino would have more right?
@@roach2566 thats hillarious
How to stop laces from catching: tuck then into boots
Old school technology...
💪🏻🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎👍🏻
Great video... but for me... Best Motorcycle Boot Overall....? Prospector Canadian Army All-Weather Gore-tex Combat Boots...
I see you're wearing 46 Eu size and here's where my annoyance starts. I wear 48 EU size and to get a decent pair of boots at that size in Greece (and living in an island as well), I need to order online, make sure they fit beforehands and pay stupid import taxes. I hate this XD
Updated videos pls on multiple topics
You're good at what you do. Very good.
I've watched many a channel on gear in general. So that's said w some solid basis for comparison. Trust.
Yeah.. I’m just gonna stick with the leather LUGS my mom got me for Christmas 2 years ago 😂
$200 for the icon..... I payed $90 in 2015.
What if you buy construction boots, they are cheaper ,I think under $200 for sure, some $80. Think what does construction boots do, heavy duty impact protection, super thick leather, tough rubber construction materials. The only thing I wish is almost all of them are not tall ,like racing boots, but they have medium version cover your angles
I don't know what you do at the office all day, but I wouldn't for a second 'choose' to wear even light boots all day, let alone armored ones. I've had too for some jobs, had to wear Metatarsals for one, but what a great day when they came out with composite toe and shank. There is no need to have metal ANYTHING in a motorcycle boot now, EVER. Who want's their boots to survive them anyway?
I just got a new pair of over the ankle, lace up, side zipper, light brown suede leather boot. They look like desert combat boots but 3/4 height and light as an athletic shoe. $60 AND NOT BLACK for God's sake. I can buy a new pair ever year if I need to.
No Herman Munster boots needed for "street riding". Black is the absolute WORST color for any clothing or gear on a motorcycle. (hint: It's the least visible and also too dang hot.) Don't tell me Canada's always cold, I know they have mosquito and tick season. Seriously, no black gear on bikes for those who care at all about safety or comfort...buy an IR thermometer and prove me wrong.
Question for you....Years ago there was a company called "Wicked"..they made a series of riding boots that were the best I have ever seen for multiple reasons...The boot was super comfortable, you could stand on concrete all day long and never have any knee, leg or ankle pain. Secondly was the height of the sole. It gave me the 1" lift I need to get flat footed on the ground with my Road King. Third and one of the most important reasons was the weight. Both of those boots weighted less on a scale than one of my old boots. For younger people it may not be an issue but for us older guys the weight of the shoe means everything.....Is there anything out there like this boot....I believe Wicked went out of business...
would love an updated version !
As always, great video. I see that the Alpinestars Roam 2 is no longer made, can anyone tell me what Alpinestars came out with to replace it and what’s the reviews on it?
Thanks.
Had my alpinestars race boots"waterproof"for over ten years, still going strong.

How do you only have 17k subs? All of your newer stuff looks really professional
They have over a million 4 years later
The Icon superduty are hideous ! I love timberlands, but those shoes looks nothing like it !! I would not wear this, anywhere, anyday.
Hello everyone 🎉 How about stairs???. I am a delivery driver for a company equivalent of the door dash. I am riding a Honda GLR 125w and I would love to hear any specific ideas about wearing any of those for my 12 hour shift
You should do a video on best non motorcycle gear to wear while riding. Something that a cheap person who wants to ride in something safe but not spend a fortune on actual riding gear and have comfortable enough to be worn all day possibly on a daily basis. Love the videos, don't stop making them.
Hey man are these still relevant? You r the guy I trust the most, when jt comes to gear recommendations
I'm looking for semi-barefoot style boots, like my vivobarefoot hiking boots, that have impact and overextension protection that doesn't restrict movement in the safe range. I'mma call them up about that I guess.
What y'all think of J1s? Leather, high cut, stylish .
0:30 both the pointy bits of your ankle XD ... nice
The kid/man don't look tough but he knows what info I need.
💪🏻🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎👍🏻
It's comical how unpolished Ryan is in these earlier videos. Still incredible content though.
I have the original Alpinestar Roam and it's a great boot, very comfortable, and keeps my feet dry in the rain. A bit warm in the summer heat though.
If youre worried about laces catching on your bike...
Just tuck them into your boots lol
Can you review some of the ILM gear like helmets, jeans,gloves...
With My big clunker size 12 EEE boots I struggle to get my toe under the shifter...
Did you also say you hiked comfortably in these? Can you comment on that, please?
You out a lot of effort into this channel, it shows. I will recommend this channel to any motorcycle rider I will talk to.
I had a hell of time finding suitable moto footwear. I wear a 13 4E shoe and finally ended up getting a pair of Tourmaster boots. It’s both long and wide enough but has too much space over my foot, so I had to put lifts under the heal of the insole to get the fit just right. If I could I would have gone for something much more casual looking, and if it hadn’t fit I would have had to go for custom boots.
Can we please get rid of waterproof linings on leather shoes. Want waterproof? Wax it. Want it to breath? Dont wax it.
Surprised that Daytona isn’t in the lineup.
Wardrobe needs a little work……but as usual very informative
Any opinions on the Icon Accelerant or the Puma 450 or 500 boots? I've found that lace-up boots are way too snag prone, and side-zip entry boots are too tight across the top of the metatarsal area.
This or u can go mountain trekking goretex boots that will do the same job being more comfortable :) sometimes for less as well.
I know. I wore altberg leather hiking boots for the first year of riding and they did the job perfect.
All of these have very tight toe box. They don't fit the natural fan shape of the foot and crush the toes together.
Very nice review I appreciated your time,
thanks very much I'm fan of some icon products I got me some of them like gloves superduty 3 and 4amber color my last purchased was the field armor 2
I have no complaints at all by the way I just subscribed to your channel I been watching your videos keep up your good job 👍🏻👌🏼
does anyone know where to find some motorcycle boots that look like cowboy boots ?
This review was a bit disappointing. I’m still not finding a nice clean/classic design black leather touring/commuting zipper boot that I can also wear all day with business casual clothes. BMW has a nice one but seams across the mid-foot meant the left foot completely blew out prematurely. Don’t want a boot that looks like a crossover SUV. Don’t need all the monsoon weatherproofing. Anyone? Bueller?
do your laces military style and they won't catch on the motorcycle
I upgraded to bike boots & ended up with $100 Sedici Nicolas, even though I had a budget of $300. Everything else I tried was either terrible to even stand up in, let lone walk in, or terrible to get or off. I found a boot that was good...but a bit tight...so I tried moving up a size...only to be unable to get them on at all! These were $200-$300 boots! The Sedicis won't last as long as better boots, but at $100 I'm not bothered. They probably don't offer the best protection, but it's a lot better than most bike rider's footwear choices, such a trainers.
Still can't find quality , or any street boot that come in wide widths. COME ON MANUFACTURING get with it!
What i wear is a rubber boot that cost only 5.75$.
Just bought fox comps after you recommended it for a beginner biker, and then remembered I have a harley 1200😑
street motorcycle boots with limited toe space
Marine Corps combat boots are the best.
I miss his funny quips and comments.
Holy Crap - you do really amazing reviews! Just subscribed!
these are not reviews, these are modern commercials
Dems mong boots boy.
How are the Daytona AC4-WD? Only heard good things about Daytona but i havent seen a review of them anywhere even though they god a "very good" in a german magazine's test
he's so cute
Dude full length boots only for me. I crashed once and if not for full length the footpeg would have gone beyween the meat of my calf and the bone as such i limped away to ride another day.
Any thoughts about the Rokker Urban Racer or Stylmartin Indian Boot?
I'm not too sure about a lot of these rider specific boots. I would think that a decent normal pair of boots would work just fine and cost a fair bit less.
I hope you are not serious
@@alt572 I hope you will explain why I should be joking.
Seven years later nothing better?
man i love the cortech vice shoe/boots i got, 100$ shipped! They are water resistant, though the claim water proof. Really breathable Took a while to break in but man they are great! not bad price either.
Ryan!!! Where's the dry sarcasm? You give up?
My opinion is you should try something more high end such as Spidi Xpd and Sidi street boots, they are way more comfortable in wearing and riding.
Man, you save me so much time and money.... Thanks for your great reviews and videos.
Your Alpinestars boots look nice, do you ever wear them for walking?
Upset that the Icon Superduty 5 now uses velcro instead of the buckle
Do you guys have any plans in the future to do a 2021 boot recommendation
Hi can we get updated video🤟
I have the TCX xblend boots... I like them but they are a narrow fit
BRING REVIEWS BACK
Looking for a newer video that also includes Daytona boots.
My shoes size number is 42
Please do an updated footwear list! I live in the nw and nobody else covers all weather gear.
The TCX are the best looking boots in this review. The Icon, the ugliest.
Absolute legend
U R the king of awesome information. Thanks!
Hi I am trying to decide between a Shoei Neotec 2 , shoei Hornet adventure or the Scorpion AT 950. I have always used Shoei since 1974 but the Scorpion is modular with visor. I ride a Honda CB 500 X on country roads to take photos. I like comfortable quiet helmets, what do you think.
What did you decide on? I'm in the same boat now, looking for the best modular...
I wear a EEE boot.....
i saw the style of the second pair, and immediately thought of my old shop boots from a few years ago. in fact, im likely to snag a pair and swap the laces (much longer, but i can use the "quick tie" method, and tuck the laces so they dont catch.)
Hey Ryan, any updates on this topic? Cheers!
7,000th like! 👍
+FortNine Great information as always. Question, any recommendations for a wide riding boot, like 4E wide? Thanks
Daytona Road Star hands down best boot ever. Had mine 13 years and re-soled 3 times. Well worth the $400.
Forma ADV Tourer Boots
I just bought a set of these, maybe 300 miles on them and love them. Super comfortable and stay warm in low 40s high 30s F temps. Not sure if they are gonna be to warm in summer though.
