Riding boot recommendations appreciated

    Hello,

    I recently put rearset foot controls on my Norton Commando 750. There is now less distance between the pegs, brake lever, and shift lever so I'm having trouble getting my steel toe work boot (I'm no city boy) in between it all. That plus there is a bit less leverage with the shifter and brake levers than there was with the factory controls. Can anyone please recommend a riding boot that is slimmer (vertically) than a work boot, has a stiff sole to apply firm pressure to the levers, isn't low quality, but also costs less than $300 or so? I really don't care how comfortable they are to walk in because I'll use them only for riding. Thanks!

    Your best bet is to just work your way through the offerings at Revzilla, add the ones you like the look of to your cart. Once you get through everything, then, go through the boots in your cart, reading the reviews, deleting what you don’t like. Eventually, you’ll get narrowed down to the one to buy.

    I love my TCX’s.

    Wear them on street rides on the supermoto or sport tourer and wore them yesterday all day at a track day.

    They run much wider than average boots which is awesome for someone like me.

    I have the early model of these. Lots of rain riding, miles of walking around, even hiked in them and they are still in great shape. Crash tested as well :p

    Also have the RT track boots.

    For street, track, and dirt I like Alpine Stars. Well made, good support for repair, well designed and very comfortable for me.
    Street: SMX S, Track: Supertech R, Dirt: Tech series

    FYI the TCX Vibe boots are on closeout at STG.

    I just bought another pair for the rotation :crackup:
