I've been using the Dainese Torque Out boots I posted about earlier for the last few days and the verdict is in. THEY RULE!
They are exactly what I was looking for. They have great ankle support, which I have learned the hard way is VERY important. You don't need to be riding fast or reckless to break your ankle on a motorcycle. I was only going about 10 miles an hour and all it took was one idiotic old fool to stop paying attention and hit me, sending me into a low-side and breaking my ankle.
They also look great, are extremely comfortable, and are very flexible considering the amount of protection they provide. They also fit dead on true to size. Just be sure to look at the Dainese sizing chart.
I highly recommend these boots to anyone who rides, not matter what kind of bike you have. I'm shocked at how the great majority of motorcycle boots offer little to NO PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANKLES!!!!! This, despite the fact that ankle injuries are the most common type for motorcyclists. Sure these boots cost a bit more than a lot of other options, but how much do you think you'll spend on medical bills for a broken ankle? And how much is three months of your time worth? Because you won't be having ANY fun crutching around in that cast for 6 weeks, or spending another 6 learning how to walk without pain again.
The other thing that pisses me off is how hard it is to find boots like these. I had to do way too much digging to find these, or anything like them. If you're looking for a pair, look no further than Cycle Gear. I'm not getting any kickbacks for plugging them (I wish), but ordering was a breeze and the boots were shipped fast and hassle free. They even called me to make sure somebody wasn't using my credit card fraudulently!!! That's great customer service if you ask me.
