Altama Desert Boots

Nice and cool, and comfortable to walk around in after a few years of breaking in.
Protection is not that great.
BUT you can get them for free, all you have to do is join the Army! [cheeky]

I had a pair of Diadora boots that I crashed in, the top half of the left boot was ripped open. The boot probably saved my foot from breakage or amputation but all in all I would suggest a better quality boot than the Diadora.
Bikes: 2007 Multistrada
Totalled 2007 695 Monster.

Used to ride in a pair of Danner Goretex 8" boots.  Found the sole to be too thick and had clearance issues with the right heel on the exaust guards (05 S2R).  But the last straw came one day when I pulled into a parking lot, parked the bike, looked down at the left foot to find the stand and saw my untied laces dangling beside the sprocket guard.  Didn't like the looks of that at all. 

Bought A* Webs.  Love 'em.

I wear the same ones around town for every day riding to and from work.  I wear some heavier Teknic boots for highway riding though.

The Dohas are very lightweight and comfortable.  [thumbsup]

Vertigos for track and canyon...



I'm looking for a street/work boot and I'm leaning towards the Sidi Dohas.

I read a good review of these on MCN and thought about purchasing some... may still in the future. I would be a little worried though about ankle protection.

I have the Alpinestar black label Recon boots. So far so good. I was worried about getting enough protection without being too hot in the summer and these seem to be well ventilated.
