I have the best HD boots i rode with back in highschool, they're real slender, no frills... to bad I can't use them on my X1, I miss shifts all the time!  LOL I just wear my New Balance black running shoes and call it a day. | ||

This discussion comes up every couple of months or so. My answer never changes: http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Aerostich-Comb at-Lites-Boots-p-16559.html Best damned all-around boot I've ever owned. | ||

Love my Altama Ultra Lite boots. Very light and cool. They are as light as a pair of good sneakers but give great ankle support and great grip when walking. They also did a great job protecting my feet when I crunched my Blast. Get them on the internet from US Cavalry for less than a hundred bucks. | ||

Sidi touring boots. | ||

Justin cowboy boots! My heel hooks nicely on the footpeg and the pointy toe makes for good shifting hehehe! | ||

how bout a black tactical style slender boot? i ask because i bought a pair of icon heavy duty buckle style boots and they were ginormous and i could barely get them between the shifter at all! lol but riding in regular shoes is a little sketchy to me | ||

I just purchased some Milwaukee boots at the Chicago IMS. I haven't wore them much yet, but they are ease to get on and off. http://workingperson.com/products/22_353_37/1/2086 /Milwaukee_Boots:__Accelerator_Mens_Motorcycle_Boo ts_MB408.html | ||

I wear a 14 but if their 13s run big I may be able to run them. | ||

I've always liked Chippewa Rally boots. Very comfortable, similar to race boots, but more conservatively styled. They come in wide sizes, which I need, with adjustable shafts. Pretty durable. I should know - I crashed while wearing a pair. My feet and ankles came out fine. The boots did, too. http://www.chippewa-boots.com/order/chippewa/27862 .htm | ||

I'll put in another vote for the Combat Lites. I bought a pair last year sometime, and I wear them when I ride to school. They're comfortable enough to walk around in all day, waterproof in a heavy storm, and pretty durable. I haven't had to test their crashworthiness, but they sure feel like they'd protect my feet and ankles. | ||

"Boot" brings back bad memories when I was told to ask my Plt Sgt for a box of grid squares. | ||

BMW Allaround boots, the name says it all. | ||

I frequently ride in my work boots, they're Bates 8" waterproof duty boots - good grip and comfortable enough to run in. They've got a side zip with a flap to seal out the water so you lace them up snug then use the zipper for getting them on/off. Can't attest to waterproofness in extreme conditions since if it's raining hard I will only ride with my Sidi's on (Vertebra Tepor) - better protection if it goes bad and I don't have to re-polish my work boots so soon =] Just like these: http://www.uniformfootwear.com/order/2268.htm They've been on a few longer rides too and remain very comfortable as far as boots go. Good ankle support and around $100, which is cheaper than many cycle boots but still a protective boot. Look fine with jeans, cargo pants, or dockers too. A local police or uniform supply store should stock them... | ||

I ride a S1W and a Ducati 998 and love the fit and feel of my Alpine Stars SMX 5s (Message edited by S1wmike on February 18, 2009) | ||

I really like my Vendramini Aero boots:  http://www.motoworldonline.com/Vendramini-Aero-Air -Tex-Boots_p_1100.html# | ||
| Limitedx1 |
the smx5 is too much on the race side, now those vendramini's look like i could get away with wearing them in my office!!!little pricey though | ||

You can find them for less. I've had them for 4 seasons, and they are still in great shape. Great in the summer. | ||
