Best fitting and comfortable boots I have ever owned. I use them for riding and walking the range teaching MSF classes. I walk about 10 miles on the weekend, on asphalt with these and no foot pain.

But can you find the gear lever? I need a very flexible ankle and small toe box. Not riding a cruiser, need the feel of a sport-bike boot!

Yes they have worked equally well on my ST1300 and my CBR 1000.....12 Norge....Goldwing.. ......EV...everythi ng I have ridden. They don't have the large toe box, like a steel toe, or square toe, and with the fabric uppers the ankle is flexible. I bought the lace up style, but they are available with a zipper side also. Be careful with the lace ups, and make sure to double tie the tops so the laces don't come undone and foul in some part of the bike.
Only boots in 40+ years that I have found to be comfortable riding AND walking. Got the tip on these about 5 years ago from 2 friends that were motor cops for 25+ years. They have been wearing them since the boots were first available some years ago. Worked good on the KZ 1000's, Beemers, and Harleys alike. While some police departments required their motor officers were to wear the "Chippewa" style boots, some departments didn't care what type of boot you wore as long as it was black.
I had a blast a couple of years back doing a training class with some of the smaller local PD's...especially since at the end of the class we all went on a long ride through several of the small towns with "lights and sirens" so they could practice...what a hoot!!! Trying to get asked back as a guest instructor this year, if they have enough candidates.

Very good, dug out a old pair of Sidi boots that a friend gave me years ago. They have those velcro straps and one fell off. I fixed it and dressed them up with some pecard. I'm going to do some more research on the Bates!

I have two pair of short Sidi's coming to try. I tried finding them locally in MN & AZ but no one has them. I went to polish my current 16 yr old short Sidi's and the sole has split open....Damm I loved them.

My old Hein Gericke's finally met the ghost. They lasted a good 10 years, the soles are so worn me socks are showin' through. :boozing:
