My experiences with motorcycle crashes dictate that I wear a good motorcycle boot when riding and comfortable sneakers when off the bike.

You can heed my advice or discover these finer points of the motorcycling experience for yourself...

Ummm...not available in white so that's gonna be a hard no for me. I have two pairs of boots...a newer pair that I wear to work. I keep the old pair the new ones replaced in case I get caught in the rain and they get wet. I just can't see the need to buy special boots or shoes to ride on the street. Dirt bike ?ok sure...doing some track days? Ok sure. Great...now that I clicked the link im getting ads for fairy boots.

Boots?! Boots?! Real men don't need boots!

Fred Flinstone didn't need boots!

I bought the "HD "riding sneaker" last yer on sale. They're comfortable and offer enough protection for short rides when it's hot out. You might take a look at these, or Bates makes something similar.

I wear these as they offer great protection and are waterproof. Boot cut jeans go over the top.
