How about Paratrooper boots? Are those safe?

These are some of the better comments I’ve read posted in response to an article. Several posts mention the dangers of low speed drops. The most important thing to remember is not to try to “save” the bike by putting your feet down. If the motorcycle starts to fall, let the bike go and get off and away from it. It’s not worth a rolled ankle, a broken foot or lower leg spiral fractures to avoid a scratched up bike and some embarassment. Even wearing the best armored boots out there may not prevent these injuries. Keep your feet on the pegs or boards.

The steel-toe myth continues to be propagated. A basic ANSI rated cap steel-toe is rated at well over 3,000 pounds of force. That’s right a ton and a half. If your foot gets subjected to that much force without a steel toe, it has just been turned into pudding. In that case, you are probably better off having the sucker pinched off than crushed. Besides, if you’re in a wreck that can subject your foot to that much damage, your foot is likely the least of your worries.

That said, I’m not here to promote steel-toes in motorcycle boots. I don’t know if the specific danger actually makes them all that necessary. But never, never sell them short when it counts to have them…say, when an 8″ cast iron pipe gets dropped on your foot or something similar. Happy riding.

I have tried lots of boots. For durability, style, comfort on and off my bike–Cruiserworks hands down. Worth every penny.

Hi Guys, Happy new year !!!

Just got myself a brand new pair of SEDICI boots. Price was reasonable US$ 148,00. They are very comfortable, nicely built in leather and a firm rubber sole with reinforced ankles and sides. They were advertised as breathable waterproof but to my surprise, after a long 8 hours ride under strong rain storm, they were inundated and deformed in the ankle area. I can still wear these boots in dry weather condition or wear a rain cover on top.

Have any of you tested boots that are really waterproof?
