Boot Recommendation - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hello All,

I am looking for riding boots that are comfortable to walk in and are inconspicuous. If you have come across a such a pair please let me know.

Something like Icon Superduty 4 (unfortunately they are backordered whereever I checked)

Thanks.

I have these...

Amazon.com: TCX Boots JUPITER 2 XCR BOOT BLACK: Automotive

They're not too bad, they get hot though when you're not on the bike.

I wear Black Craftsman Steeltoe (plastic toe really) workboots. Very comfortable and solid. Plus they are dual purpose when you have heavy work to do around the house.

I have Alpinestar Ridge boots. They are pretty comfortable and easy to walk around in. They do tend to get a bit warm tho.

For a comfortable daily riding shoe, I have the Alpinestars One-O-One boot.

One-O-One Shoe - Alpinestars Official Store

Very comfortable to wear and work in all day. They look good and will provide good protection if needed.

If you want more of a race boot, I have the Vega Racing boots that I wear when ever I'm out carving canyons.

On a side note, I wouldn't suggest wearing steel toe work boots. You won't be able to feel the shift lever which might mess you up.

^ i have the vega sport boots too, and they're inconspicuous if worn under jeans and sporty if worn with a suit. comfortable, versatile, and good protection.
