Tlazare Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Does anyone know of a casual riding boot that somewhat resembles a work boot? I know of the RST Roasters, and they're really nice and all, but I'm looking for something a bit cheaper. Suggestions?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Revit, Tcx and DXR make some nice ones but not much different in price. Have a look on eBay they often come up on there in good condition and good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie man Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Have a look at Altberg Boots on fleabuy for cheaper options. Made to measure if you go to the factory but cost a lot more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copycat73 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 why not buy some steel toe cappers and wear them on the bike https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_pg_2?fst=as%3Aon&rh=n%3A355005011%2Cn%3A1769609031%2Ck%3Asteel+toe+boots&page=2&keywords=steel+toe+boots&ie=UTF8&qid=1513022615 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Be wary of laces.. they get tangled up, you can't take your foot off the peg, and you topple over in a heap on the floor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I bought some TCX X-Blend boots which I'm pretty happy with. Ankle protection, waterproof, reinforced gear change zone etc. There pretty comfy and look causal enough for walking around town or café/bar.At the time I bought them, Infinity Motorcycles suggested these as alternatives:"Spada Pilgrim Grande, the Falco Ranger, the Oxford Merton and the Belstaff Whitwood" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowBusa Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 when the kickstart got stuck up my trouser legNow Thats a one ive never heard of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 With laces I just tuck them in. Either inside the ankle, or more securely under the zig zags on the front of the boot. I've also had a mishap with them before, but got away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
