Is riding boots suitable for daily wearing?

[nudgedoink]

you won't be the first one to do it. no one really cares. ppl who are gonna condemn you for wearing SAF boots, why bother to know them anyway? not worth your time!

haha true true!

i have those.. its not that hot bro, cus it's mid-cut. but do bear in mind, it's not waterproof..

 

not waterproof? i just had a look at those at motoworld a couple of days back.. i thought they looked waterproof ahah

i had the same perception bro, i did tighten the strap to the fullest possible, but my socks squishy wet when normal rain

recently Motorworld launched their latest Rs Taichi ankle cut riding boot. check out their advertisers board. i guess this riding boots will fit my preferences.

Cant remember how much i bought it, bought from Newenough.com. That was before Oxtar changed name to TCX.. Its actually Oxtar Airtech GTX XCR (GTX XCR meaning Goretex XCR). Its exactly the same as TCX Air Tech XCR, but since the company changed name frm Oxtar to TCX the price increased alot!

 

I bought cheaper then the current TCX price, but abit wasted also. When TCX was introduced Newenough had a closeout sale on all the OXTAR brand of boots and it was dirt cheap!

 

Any problem while heavy rain ? thanks.

Saw that advertisement, and they look good. Reasonably priced, though I wouldn't mind it being a bit lower. Have you tried them on for comfort while walking?

I bought from Chiap Lee. So far when raining no problem... but end of year monsoon rain havent come yet so can't be sure...

 

Update: No problem during rain, even very heavy storms. Saved my feet in a 80-90km/h crash. I replaced them with another pair of the same model. Excellent boots!

there is no ankle protection. safety boots are meant for use in workshops etc.

 

not for riding. altho you can still wear but defeats the purpose.

 

riding boots has more ankle protection.

I wear these TCX boots almost every day, and they feel great. Light weight, comfortable and waterproof.

Try RS Taichi RS001.

very comfortable, even for walking is good.

All waterproof boots will feel hot unless it's goretex.

I am using my alpinestar smx2 for everyday use.. Cost me abot 320 but it is all good..

Love the design like a fashionable shoe and it has slider in case you fall.. Can even change to those magnesium slider if you want.. Once it wear out i will definitely buy the same one again..

i remember a thread about riding boot but looks formal as well.

 

those are pretty good looking too, for me at least. no need to change into other shoes. 1 shoe to rule them all! too bad i forgot the brand. any kind hearted brothers here can give me the brand again? and the local seller.

i think u are refering to blundstone .... the other thread should be this one discussing about boots that go well with office wear http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140365

 

personally i have the blundstone dress version ... good stuff but never tested it it is loose at the top so i am not sure how it will holdup in a slide on the tarmac or holding the ankle together in an impact collision. currently, the left boot is destroyed by gear shifting, now looking towards dedicated riding boots though, there's really no such thing as a do-it-all footwear.
