MORNING ALL, i`ve been riding dirt bikes for a fair while and had good boots for that, but, only recently got my harley and am riding with work boots at the moment, what do you guys where and why? and can you walk easily in them? i remember my  motox boots and 100m was a long walk in them, i`m hearing the word rossi mentioned alot in discussions with the ulysses forum, thanks 308bever

I ride with anything from my oxtar riding boots, my rm Williams, my sneakers.... Just not thongs!

I was looking at the HD boots and the johnny's and they look good too... It is up to your personal preference and what level of protection you want... If i am going on a spirited ride i will wear my riding boots, besides the extra protection they're also waterproof, If i am going around the corner i may just have my joggers on.

I wear my sand-shoes around town, I have a set of HD boots for the highway, I wear boots because I like to extend my legs and rest my ankles over the pegs, they get sore after a while and the boots support them.
I will cross town in my moccasins if I am slipping to the shop, but I cant wear scuffs (thongs) on the bike

I have a really old pair of Rossi`s dating back to the 80s which of course are relly worn in and comfortable but I`m not sure how much protection they would give because of there age.
If I`m just on short rides around town I wear globe skate board shoes as they seem to be able to take a beating and they have a good grippy sole for stopping at the lights.

ive got a pair of alpine stars roam, very comfortable boot except for very hot summer, like em cause i can put a bit of polish on them and wear them to work, hate doing the clothes change and carting unnecessary crap

 my ariat boots  are well made and comfortable

Steel Blue safety boots. Because I get them free from work. (and they are very comfortable).

those olivers look pretty good

I bought my last pair of Johnny Rebs seven years ago. Two soles and four heels later they are just getting worn in.

Johnny Rebs, had 'em for years & they feel like a pair of comfy old slippers.

Noit, any good shoe repairer can restore your heals. I used to do it for a living, piece of piss.

Jeez, makes me shudder to hear people are wearing joggers or sports shoes riding....if you go for a slide with yer foot under the bike, there won't be much skin left!!

I have three pairs, full length leather for winter/wet, ankle length Rossis are my fave, but also bought some RJays summer boots - lace up with mesh panels to let the air in. They are really solid; you wouldn't want to walk miles in them cause the soles are pretty inflexible but really god for hot days on the bike, the breeze gets right in. 

Occasionally I also pull the Johnny Reb lookalikes on - when I want to pose as a tough Harley rider  !!   

I wear the police tack boot type most of the time but thats just because i buy them for work so kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I have 2 types one water proof insulated pair for winter and a lighter pair for summer. As far as walking in them they feel just like runners and are comfy as hell. I also have a pair of the long HD type that are ok as well.

Cheers

Rossi 814 Roadsters are my favorite.

easy on and off cause of the side zipper and velcro flap, also best comfort.
