These shoes are made difficult to be durable enough to give you some protection in an accident. Most have reinforced stitching, ankle protection and a shifter pad as well as one type slip. If you are looking for a boot or shoe there are several quality manufacturers with a good reputation in choice. Alpinestars, AGV Sport, Double H and Icon are most popular brands currently available. Not to mention non brand names. For cons, I recommend that you go with a quality shoe that is made by a well-known manufacturer. I have a pair of AGV Sport motorcycle boots that have lasted 8 years.

Choosing a motorcycle boot really depends on you. If you ride a cruiser probably one of Double H Boots "will appeal to you because they are made to have a more classic style. Double H makes an engineer boot is a perfect nostalgic looking motorcycle boot or boot which also go a classic look. I find that people tend cruiser rider to lean towards those styles, since they correspond to this kind of bike and the train that goes with riding a car. You would look kind of funny in the racing machines on a cruise ship!

Motorcycle boots and shoes for runners of sport bikes are quite abundant. Icon AGV and Alpinestars all quality motorcycle boots that are tough enough to wear for days depending on the route you decide to wear. Most of these boots are equipped with lifts toe, ankle, shin and ankle protection as well as high impact materials that are integrated into the boot in case of accident. These boots are usually made for more aggressive driving before you will find more security features designed to protect your feet from the road. You will find these boots come in many different colors that match most sport bike gear. So most manufacturers of these boots also gloves and leathers that are all color coordinated to be worn together. Now, one of the most recent on the scene are motorcycle shoes. These shoes are very durable, but are not recommended for use on track. They are robust enough to offer some protection, but nothing like what you get out of a complete start. The shoes are generally made to ride on the street. They are popular because they are much like regular tennis shoes so you can wear them to work without it being noticed. The shoes are not generally provide as much protection, but they are slipping and a shifter pad which makes it easier for you to go riding. Most shoes are reinforced to some extent but not nearly as motorcycle boots.

Generally, your driving style and type of bike you ride will dictate what kind of motorcycle boots, you choose to wear. Just keep in mind to wear a helmet that protects them adequately for your driving style. Ideally, a helmet, gloves, jacket, pants and riding boots must be worn at all times when you're on a motorcycle.
