Shoes

[Desert Spyder]

On a more personal level, what kind of shoes including brand does everybody wear while ryding?

A friend of mine had bought these shoes http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...product&kwd=&gclid=CIL-gtKPurgCFWQ6Qgodgx0Apw yesterday at a local bike shop and they are like sneakers for motorcycle riding.

I usually wear light footwear when local and boots that are heavier when distant driving. But they drive me nuts to walk in. They are boots that I bought through work just before I retired.

I have always worn boots when driving 2-wheelers and :spyder2:'s. Prefer more foot protection rather than less.

That said: here is what I wear.

:ani29:: Engineer style boots. I like the square toes. Have one pair black & one pair brown. Like the harness thingy on the heels and one pair has silver eagles on the toes. Available from most every cycle gear dealer for around $150 or less. I got one pair on sale for $90.

:ani29:: Euro style riding boots. I have one pair of Sivi. They are advertised as waterproof and have that special liner in them. They zip up the side for ease of on/off. Cost about $150

:ani29:: Regular Wellington boots with zippers in the side. Had for many years. Paid about $75.

Dr. Martins short engineers with ankle supports. Super comfortable for riding and walking and they last forever. I got in the habit of wearing these on 2 wheelers, and while I don't see the necessity on a Spyder, they're so comfortable I just keep wearing them.

These look like what Linda is looking for except they don't seem to come in women's sizes. Any of the ladies on here using something similar? It looks and sounds from the description like a high top tennis shoe with protection built in.

Ride safe,

Caterpillar! :clap: Got um on sale about 4 years ago. Slip-on hightops, comfortable but a little heavy. Good protection from weather.

Boots

I picked up a pair of hiking boots. They are thinner on top so I can feel the gear shift better, especially when I'm speeding up. If need be, I'll carry a pair of Redwings in the frunk to change into after I arrive at my destination so my feet will be a little cooler.

I wear Gore Tex waterproof boots purchased on shoebuy.com for approx $100. They are tough and waterproof on the outside but lightweight and nearly as comfortable as tennis shoes for walking in. I love them. bought an extra pair for future in case they discontinue them

I usually wear Propels (Zappos), but have worn sandals on occasion. I wear either my Propels or low topped boots on a two wheeler….

Yep, the TCX will be my next boot/shoe purchase. A friend of mine got a pair at the recent Honda event in Greeneville and says they are real comfortable. I love the high top sneaker look with the added protection...and waterproof, too. Comes in men's and women's.

I wear these Tourmaster Solution boots. They are waterproof, well insulated, offer good protection, and they are as comfortable to walk in as anything I've ever worn with virtually no break-in period. http://www.tourmaster.com/xcart/product.php?productid=350&cat=7 Cotton
