Riding with steel caps

In a couple of month’s time, my work will need me to travel to a few of our warehouses to do some IT stuff. Being a warehouse, they require me to wear steel cap boots.
Now, in the office I have a locker with all of my office wear and I have dry cleaners in the car park so it’s pretty convenient to leave everything at work and ride to work with the proper gear (boots, jacket, pants etc)
Since the warehouses don’t have these facilities, I will have to bring my work gear with me, so I was wondering if anyone has tried riding with steel caps on. Is it any more difficult to find the gears or brake?

i did for the first 2 years of my apprenticeship when i was comuting, there fine mate. Its not like you loose heaps of feel or anything, but there an ass in the wet

they keep ya toes warm in winter

when when i wore the sides out scraping them on the ground in the twisties to and from work i got new ones from work


SCHWEEET

i found them slightly waterproof in a little rain, but once the elastic sides got wet. all over...

take em in a bag... possibly slice your toes right off if you have an acco...

dude... steel cap have elvolved a long way since the early days.

if they cut your toes, off, you in way too much shit to worry about needing toes..

Owen you can also get shoe / sneeker based steel caped as well so there is plenty of choice, but I would be opting for ankle protection ... a high boot like this:

titanium caps on them

always have to wear steel caps and have ridden twice in them. on the zzr250/ gpx350 i wouldnt recommend it, was hard to get the toes under to upshift into gear. but then again could just me.

i commuted on my xr600 for like 6 months, then about 18months on the Z, then about 6 months on the 10.

a couple of days riding you get used to them.
