I wanted to pick your brains about motorcycle boots. I wear all the gear most of the time but I have never owned motorcycle boots, so I am newby when it comes to that.
I am wondering if buying a pair of adventure/touring boots is a worth while upgrade to the regular Chippewa works boots I normally ride with. I normally wear an 8" Chippewa all leather work boot and I have been happy with them. I ride about 90% rode and 10% fire roads and light trail with my S-10. I am not sure if adv boots are worth the slight upgrade in protection over the heavy leather Chippewas, for the type of riding I do.
The ADV style boots I am deciding between are the Gaerne G Adventure and the Forma cape horn or adventure. I also like the look of the more protective Alpinestars Toucan but I really don't like the price, nor do I want a boot that is uncomfortable to walk in for long periods.
I appreciate your input!
