Crosser boots on a Streetbike

Hi All,

Has anyone tried using Motocross type boots on a Street Bike?

I like they feeling of support they give and the chunkier soles on them, but never considered using them on the Fazer until now as my third pair of boos have fallen apart ... I guess m/boots aren't designed to be worn all day every day Laughing

...

Also would they fit under jeans (bootcut Razz

) ...

Just looking for people opinions really.

Thanks all,

Luke.

My bike instructor swore by them. I tried wearing a pair on my 650, and by the end of the road realised I couldn't change up gear. Never quite figured it out, probably just being a damned fool!

I don't think you'd get them under jeans.
I've had a pair of gaerne ones for years and do wear them on a road bike in winter quite a bit.
You wouldn't want to walk far in them though.

I wore them a couple of times after i passed my CBT, huge Sidi ones, and found I couldn't change gear in them. Some slightly slimmer ones would be cool though Thumbs Up

Its probably do-able, but not on a sportsbike.

I wore Alpinestar T6's on my supermoto but couldn't change gear on my ZX7R or R1 so I sold them to a mate. He wore them on his Bandit and GSXR750 and managed no bother except i'm sure he had to lift his whole foot to change gear as they keep your ankle totaly riggid. Us both having size 13s might have something to do with it though.

Why not get a pair of not bike boots for walking around with all day? MX boots wouldn't be good for all day off the bike, they're like moon boots. Laughing

get some dockers.

Totally solid, and you can wear them around with little discomfort, and change gear with em.
