Default High Top Vans
Does anyone else wear high top vans or chucks when riding?

I like my feet to be comfortable when I'm riding so I rarely wear boots anymore, probably sacrificing protection for comfort.

High top vans are great for hauling motorcycles.

I've got a pair of both but they aren't for riding. I guess working construction for 30 some years helped as I'm real comfortable in a pair of good boots.

Boots for me, but I'll still wave to you even if you're not in full pirate regalia

I wear custom Converse All Star high tops. They are black and orange. You can go to the website and have them made anyway you want. I love em for riding in the summer because they have vent holes that work well for me.

I haven't been a vans fan since the 90's. If I'm gonna wear that style shoe I wear DC or Etnies.

But I'm a **** running shoe guy myself, or boots on a road trip or in the cold. Didn't know you could have chuck Taylor's made to order though that's cool
