Full face helmets just aren’t cool anymore!  They try to be hip with a very narrow audience and miss the majority. Maybe a 180 turn might garner more riders?

My riding boots are Timberland.  Inexpensive, sturdy, steel toe and comfortable.  Good stuff

Nice! I have come to swear by my timberland Pro steel toe work books.
They are the most comfortable, durable, and longest lasting work boots
I’ve worn. And I’ve worn almost every major brand except keen. If I didn’t
have my Moose riding boots I’d seriously consider em.

Perhaps they've improved in recent years, but my experience was that while the exteriors were durable enough, the inner liners would disintegrate and tear in ways that made them unwearable regardless. I had a set of pull-ons in which the liner tore loose at the ankle. When I tried to take the boot off, the upper half of the liner gathered around my ankle as I withdrew my foot, locking my foot in towards the top! I had to actually cut the liner free of the boot in order to get the boot off!
I've had lace-ups that did basically the same thing, but with less drama.

I've had the best luck with Chippewa, which I discovered through this forum. Up until recently they were made exclusively in the USA, and a majority of them still are.

Boots are like an oil thread, personally I just buy motorcycle specific boots and only use them for riding.

I just had new soles and Velcro installed on a pair of Sidi boots that I purchased in the mid-1990’s. Amortized over the last 25 years, even with the cost of new soles makes the boots less expensive than a cheap pair of boots.

Gotta love modern marketing. Quick cut video selling a "lifestyle" and not one decent photo of the actual boots. If you enlarge the one tiny photo of the boots you can vaguely make out a Moto Guzzi impression on the toe of the boot. Oh, and a key fob thingy...  :thumb:

I've heard, and agree with the notion that footwear with laces is unsafe on a motorcycle due to the risk of laces getting caught on a brake lever, shifter, etc. I actually had this happen to me once. Didn't fall over but it scared the crap out of me. No laces for me.

They’re marketing image not function.
The fact Piaggio spends time on ‘see me’ boots but not greasing bearings speaks volumes.

I keep my laces tucked well and away from snaring levers and pegs.. My biggest problem with them is in the event of crash, if you foot is drug on the asphalt, it takes about 2secs for the laces to burn thru and break, then the shoe is ripped off in short order and now the top of your bare foot is dragging along the pavement. Ask me how I found out!

I still ride in leather shoes or boots with laces (currently a pair of chuck taylor hi-tops in leather) but I have swapped out my laces for some sort of 'tacticool' kevlar "unbreakable" laces.  Im hoping I never go down again and dont have to see if that works or not.
