New rider looking for boots. I am not sure whether to get a pair of boots to go underneath my leathers or over them.

What kind of boots do you guys wear?

My leathers go in the boots, my textiles go out of the boots.

Most leathers that are properly designed will be snug on your body. That said, most leathers are designed to go in the boot...

no leathers, but I found that the knee/shin armor in my dainese drakes will ride up off my knee if I don't have the pants well tucked into the boots. the shin bit juuust overlaps my sidis.

draggin' jeans w/knox knee armor, I'm fine w/them over the boots.

only have leathers, so boots on the outside - plus my Sidi's have carbon shin plates - got to let the sun shine on the bling!

My leathers are on the outside, they were designed that way.

This is how my gear works.  My Tourmaster textile/waterproof gear goes outside, my standard leather pants go inside ~

I wear the SF leather pants by Dainese and it's easier to tuck the pants in the boots, so in they go.  Whether boots are in or out may depend on the brand of pants and type of boot.  Dainese makes boots specifically for pants to go over them.

Me too -- leather inside (wouldn't work any other way) and textile outside (wouldn't work any other way) -- though due to operator error I answered your poll "boots in." Yeah, I'm stupid like that.
