I decided to lowside my bike last week, just so that I could give you crash results of my Icon Superduty 3 Boots.  They came out pretty well, I sprained my ankle in them, but that's the biggest injury on an interstate wreck....I consider myself LUCKY!!!!!

Try Shift's Fuel Street boot.  They are super comfortable, a bit light on the protection but otherwise look great and way better than regular shoes.  Plus you can buy two pairs for the money you are looking at spending.

Sold - '09 696 with 30,000 miles

Love my SIDI Doha boots, they are as comfortable as a pair of sneakers [thumbsup]

Thanks all for your input.  Turns out the original boots that I wanted, and tried to order, but were sold out (Oxstar ss performance), were "Sold Out" because my girlfriend had ordered them for me  ;D  I graduated from College last week and they were my graduation present, sneaky pregnant dog  :-*   I've done a few rides with them and am just starting to break them in. So far so good. They do seem a little weak as far as protection goes in the ankle area, but everywhere else they seem adaquate, and are very comfortable.

I just got the same boots.  I hope I don't have the same break-in experience as you did.

I wear these

Very comfortable on and especially off the bike. I wear them pretty often. I slow speed crashed (low side) with these on and my boot was under the engine and I got my foot out fine. The boot still looks great. The buckles on the side work well. They are a good alternative if you dont want the racer boy look. No offense intended. When they break in and the leather softens they get even better. out of the boots you chose I like the last pair of Joe rockets.
