Short ankle boots

Help Support S1000RR FORUM:
I wear TCX X-square boots with my draggin jeans, had them a couple of years now, very comfortable on and off the bike. I've also got some Furygan Jet Sympatex boots that I wear on my GSA, they're waterproof(ish), comfortable and warm in winter but I find them a bit bulky on my S1K although I do have size 11 feet!
A bit left field but... I bought some helly Hansen boots about 6 years ago to use on the bike when I'm being casual. Although they are not strictly motorcycle boots they are very sturdy and the quality is superb. They provide good protection in all the key areas including the ankle. I've used them on countless rides, as well as when doing DIY heavy duty jobs here and there and they scrub up as new. Still going strong.

Ankle crush protection is what you must prioritise IMO.

Cheers for that lads ankle boots are quite popular then.
Ive bid on a pair of Sidi Vortice as my own Vortices are basically done after 6 years faithful service. Think ill still go for a pair of ankles tho for the spring..

Agreed its a compromise Alex. My Levis wont offer much if any protection either but they look good.

Mine are the Berthed. Alex makes a good point. I take that into account when riding with them but there's no excuse for not having ATGATT. Saying that, my excuse is I use them when I'm going somewhere socially by bike and don't want to wear bike boots for the duration, which is often either lots of standing and/or walking.

If it's just a very quick trip I might wear sturdy trainers but otherwise I just wear my regular boots with either Draggin jeans or leathers.

My vortices are 6.5 years old and are passed their best.. so ankle boots have to wait... the new Vortices are funky yellow... will totally go with my blue and white bike and grey lid..haha...
