Motorcycle boots

[LeoN88]

What are the best ones out there i've just recently bought myself a 2 piece set of leathers from dainese with all the required protection but when wearing this with normal shoes i look a right plonker haha.

I've just been having a little browse on the internet and was wondering what you guys recommend. I plan on doing track days and with me being a fair weather rider i don't need to think about having anything water-proof. The brand that seems to be at the forefront for foot protection it seems is Sidi would it be wise for me to go down this road or look at other makes such as alpinestar, dainese, spada, rst etc?

edit: Budget of up to £300 as well don't want to go anything over that really!

Don't bother with RST boots.

I have a pair of TCX Competizione S and they are excellent. I find Sidi's way too narrow and Alpinestars seem a little wide for me.
You need to try a few pairs on, but for up to £300 you'll get a decent pair.

Best thing you can do is try them all on and get what fits you best. Up to £300 gets you a top of the range race boot.

I have some Sidi Vertigos which are more mid-range. They are narrow on the foot which is good for me but I find them very wide around the calf which doesn't make sense and can be a bit chilly on colder days.

I've got some TCXs as well and I like them a lot, had them a few years now and done quite a few miles in all sorts of weather. They're the SS ones, the waterproof sports boots.

I got them because I was looking at Sidi Black Rains but my feet were too wide - as said above just try everything on and get the best fitting one. Foot width, length, calf width, all sorts of stuff. If it doesn't fit it doesn't fit.

Pardon, I have the same boots but mine leak. Infact this is a replacement pair for the last ones! Have you had any problems with yours leaking?
