What brand riding boots do you own? (poll)
I just thought it might be interesting to see what we were wearing / buying

If you feel like adding more details:
What model? Are you happy with them? Why / why not

Alpinestars SMX Plus

Very happy with them super comfortable crashed 3 times in them and still going strong!

Diadora....

Geaern. I think I spelt it corretcly.
The first pair I bought were Geaern Stratus and were fantastic. Best boots I ever bought. The next pair I think GP or something are no where near as good. Next pair will be a different brand.

Aplinestars SMX Plus. cant complain. crashed in them once, virtually no marks and no damage.

Teknic great boot for the cost
Sidi vertigo air. Not bad but were not as race as I thought they would be.
Diadora ok but the top of the toe kept lifting.
Dainese rossi style. best boot i have had.

my Gaerne boots are about 8 years old, done racinf, trackdays and touring. still going strong

i'd buy another pair for road use in a heartbeat.

My race boots now are A-Star ones like Stoner wears

SIDI Vertigo ....... on to my second pair & loving them, could wear em all day they are that comfortable, The A Stars prior to that & they were uncomfortable so it must be a foot shape thing
My dirtbike boots are SIDI as well & like the road boots could wear em all day

A*'s smx-5's.

Love them to bits.

Am buying a new pair do I have a dedicated track pair and a road pair.

alpionestars smx 5's becauswe they were the only ones that came in my size; it so hard with size 15 (euro 50) feet!

Rossi Touring boots..I dont go for the fancy looks like Russ and Wattie

I exclusively use







,heaps of street cred for those great squiding moments.















In all seriousness astars smx plus, almost unbreakable, until ambo goes to work on them with sheers instead of undoing a zipper.

Yes

I've had a pair of Berrik for a few years, which I use on the road and at the track. Pretty good solid boot while riding and crashing but not so comfortable walking around off the bike. They are stiff inside and press against my ankles. won't buy them again.

Rossi tourers with Jeans. Replaced my 1980's (long version) pair a couple years ago, these things last forever. Would buy them again, but I doubt I will need to.

Nike Joggers (no socks) when squidiing in summer. look the goods with a matching Nike singlet.
