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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
