Most Comfortable Boots To Date (correction: riding shoe)

My Dainese Dyno's just came in the mail the other day.  Wow are these babies comfortable!  I have an older Dainese Axial boot and a pair of Puma Flat V2s but the Dyno's are my favorite!  I have narrow feet and these are the first pair of motorcycle boots that truly hug my ankles.  Most boots I've tried on are a bit wide causing my ankle to lift inside the boot.  Even my old Dainese Axial Boot I have to wear an ankle sock over regular socks to get a snug fit.  But the Dyno's feel like they were custom made.  I think it is all due to Dainese's use of their 3D bubble linear technology and their quick tightening system.

I wear a size US9.5/10 and their US9/EU42 fit me perfectly, leaving a little extra room in the toe box.  I also wear a size EU42 in Aldo shoes for reference.  The protection on this boot is 2nd to none.  Ankle protection on both outside and inside of the ankle.  Pretty much protection all around the ankle/heel area.  Hard toe box with camouflage toe sliders.  Padded insert for the shifter area.  A stiff non-slip sole.  A rubbery non-slip insert on the inside of the ankle where your boot would contact the rear set.  You can tell Dainese put a lot of thought into this boot.  On top of all that protection, the boot is light and very comfortable to walk in.  I did a few hours of walking at the mall and my feet were as happy as they can be.  

Another plus for me about these boot is that they are pretty low profile.  They are not like super power rangerish like the Sidi's.  To me, they look like a pair of high top air jordans.  But to each their own.

Air flow is decent on these boots.  I've been riding around in 100 degree Arizona weather and I get good ventilation.  The front of the boot is made of this fabric that allows air into the 3D bubble liner.  Over all, I am very satisfied with this boot and price!  I would highly recommend this boot for commuters and for your casual ride around town.   [thumbsup]

Alright, I'll be the guy to say it.

It looks comfy, but it doesn't look like it'll keep your foot from breaking off.

Yeah. I wouldn't call these boots - your nod to the basketball hightop is on point. Riding shoe - sure. Boot, not tall enough.

Sure these ate better/ handier for scooting around town than full on power ranger gear - but you do sacrifice protection.

Good notes on the fit. I like you, have 'low volume' feet. Never found a shoe or boot that was too narrow for me yet. What sort of adjustment does it have? Hidden laces or straps?

If they were taller, I might give them a go. They look comfy.

I have the Puma flat v2's.  They fit me just fine.  Those look pretty cool too though.

LOL, "low volume feet".  They have a hidden quick lace system like inside snowboarding boots.  And yes, these are riding shoes, not boots.  I have riding boots for more spirited riding.

I had the Puma Flat V2s before these.  I like the Dynos better.  They were more comfortable plus I had heel lift in the Flat V2s.
