converse style riding boots?

[acteg]

Anyone know of any converse styled motorcycle boots?  I love wearing chucks, and would love to find some that offer some protection (besides the leather hi-top chucks - doubt those would hold up in a crash).  Obviously, it wouldn't be track type protection, but something better than wearing regular shoes.

I have seen some stunter foot gear close to that description. Like you, I don't really need GP rated boots but I do believe a good boot will save you lots of discomfort if you unload the bike.



I like a little "more" boot so I wear these:



I might pick up the new version though:

I'm currently wearing the bates fast lane boot.  It doesn't offer much protection besides what thick leather provides, and looks fairly stylish, but I want something a little more hip sometimes.. lol

Hip? ROFL, since when are hooker boots hip? 

I think I have a set of hip waders that are shorter than that.

Sorry, but was just funny.

lol, thats what I'm saying.  I want something hip.

The bates fast lane boots arent as high as they appear in the picture.  Previous boot was a Teknic speedstar, and the bates boot is just a little bit taller.



I actually think the bates boot looks pretty awesome in a retro-cafe racer kind of way.

These alpinestars shibuya shoes look pretty cool too...might have to give these a try.

no laces on these, but this is the first thing I thought of when I saw your thread topic;



they're $150 Euros and supposedly, they have the functionality of a real moto boot;

Check out the Shift Kicker boots.  They look just like vans and the white version, on backorder everywhere, had logos and designs on some of the leather like vans would.

I use these when I'm not using my "chucks"

those aren't riding shoes

Puma has a line of Ducati-styled stuff, even high boots, and all are not riding shoes.

of course they have their normal riding boots as well.

But, they say Ducati on them.

You know, where what to like but......

I do hope y'all know they don't rebuild ankles too well. I would at least make sure it covered the ankle.
