What is your favorite motorcycling footwear?
SIR REAL ED:
For my needs, it must be comfortable for walking. Some level of protection is also good.
Not really looking for cold weather application.
Appearance is not a significant factor.
Thanks in advance.

My needs are the same. I've been wearing tactical boots like many police use. Comfortable for walking, light, breathable, side zipper for easy on/off. They are available with breathable waterproof membrane which still breathes but I find the ones w/o it to be cooler in hot temps.

It is generally considered unwise to wear laced footwear riding motorcycles. This becomes immediately apparent if you ever get a loose lace tangled around a shift/brake lever, kickstand, etc. However you may always tie your laces securely. :smiley:

For me, I usually wear something that is at least high enough to cover the ankles. Most of my riding footwear has laces, you can easily tuck the excess laces inside the footwear, or wrap them around to shorten the loops. My favorite pair of riding footwear is a well-broken in pair of leather Doc Martins, with the second favorite being another set of Docs, but these are the "lighter" model. I also have two pairs of canvas Doc Martin "high tops", with one pair that is insulated. Both of these canvas pairs have the heavy lug sole, so they're comfortable to walk around in as well. I've found that getting a size that's a half-size larger in the Docs fits me best. Word of advice though, the leather for the original tall Docs is VERY stiff, and requires a lot of breaking in to be comfortable to wear and walk around in. The canvas ones are good to go right out of the box. Check your local FB Marketplace, that's where I found all four pairs of mine.
