And that gives you some idea of the forces involved in even a relatively low-speed collision.

Lately I've taken to wearing only purpose-built motorcycling boots (Alpinestars). Get some sideways looks from the pirates but that only confirms to me I'm doing the right thing.

I've always worn boots while on my bikes and now that I have a Bagger there's plenty of room for a pair of shoes if needed.

Boots only. All else is garbage and nor safe. Who cares about fashion or what looks cool.

I said it before, I'm only in it for the "fashion". Boots are cool.

Boots...specifically, my old Corcoran II Paratrooper Field Boots. 10" of great looking, comfortable, made in the USA black leather.

Coon skin and alligator hide,
Makes a pair of jump boots just the right size.
Shine 'em up, lace 'em up, put 'em on your feet,
A great pair of jump boots can't be beat!
