What is your favorite motorcycling footwear?
DC950:
Gaerne Balance Trials boots. It seems they're called Classic now.
As protective as any street boot and just about as comfortable to walk in as any boot. They are the widest motorcycle boot I've ever been able to squeeze my wide feet into
I switched to Gaerne GTX Dakar because the are much more protective. Not as wide unfortunately and not nearly as comfortable to walk in.
If you don't buy your boots locally, IMHO this is the best place to get any riding boots. The owner is very nice and incredibly knowledgeable about just about every boot made:

He had on a nice helmet - Arai or somesuch - a red textile jacket with armor, a pair
of green cargo shorts, and so help me, a pair of Birkenstocks. He was texting, too.
Light turned green, and he motored off like any other motorcyclist.
Birkenstocks, I tell ya......

I commute in my Birkenstocks sometimes, but they are Londons !

this will prob be unpopular...
I do swap out the laces for (extra long) kevlar.. and I don't tie them in a bow... lace up a couple holes short and then wrap the laces around and roll/wrap them around each other

Looks good. What is it?
Speaking of laces, why hasn't anyone replaced laces with reusable zip ties? Seems like an OEM shoe company would have come up that a long time ago.
