I'm looking for some good commuting type boots that still offer decent protection...

What is everyone wearing on their feet when they ride their GS?

I'm going to go check out some alpinestars boots today at the store as their products seem to be rather good overall.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Doc Martins, also.  I know.  I know. 

They are better than those flip flops that Alphafire wears.

I like my flip flops. They've got a leather sole and the UT logo on them. Yay!

I'm strapped in with Sidi Strada Evo Tepor boots.

I have the icon superduty boots and really like them. Good stiff toe, decent ankle protection and you can wear them around with your everyday clothes and not look out of place with them on.

I crashed in my Icon superduty's and they held up great... i think my ankle would have been broken without them.  I had to replace the laces and they are still going strong :thumb:

Sandles for me!! :laugh: :laugh:

Just kidding...  But I might as well be.  I purchased some hiking boots (not too bulky) for riding.  I also wear sneakers a lot

Sidi's.

I have the Rose and Vertebra II's.  I haven't riden in the Vertebras yet but they are pretty comfortable and I feel better about the protection.  I heard Daytona's are pretty nice.

I'd like to get some Sidi or other motorcycle-specific boots, but I wear a 13B and not many brands come in widths, especially narrow ones, so I'm hesitant to order online. Few if any dealers carry boots in my size.
