Another graduate surfaces at the world famous MOTOBRICK.COM! 



Any sturdy boot from TCX is eek-resistant. Revzilla has a few on sale.

I found a really nice inexpensive boot, and my feet feel like they're in an Abrams tank, but unfortunately they're also waterproof.  Sorry.

Fly Milepost boots. 

I got mine for under $100 on eBay.  The first pair lasted 6 1/2 years and around 60,000 miles including a vehicular assault that resulted in totaling out both my bike and the car that assaulted me.  The boots survived and the only injury to my feet was a minor sprain in one ankle that had me on crutches for 4-5 days.

I've found the Dianese best for me.  Certainly not the cheapest but I can attest to their waterproof claim and comfort.

my choice isn't cheap at $150, but I wear them for everything...Keen Targhee visible in my avatar.

  I've shopped Dianese online but with so many options I never felt comfortable pulling the trigger for a purpose-built moto boot.  Maybe if I had the chance to try them on.

My choice of workshop boot has worked out very well on the Brick.  I think waterproof is essential.  Gortex in the shell makes for warm dry feet.  Ankle protection is the argument for a high mid-calf design, but for me, high more protective boots irritate my calves and cause ankle soreness on long stints in the saddle

My favorite is a Keen mid-height Gortex and steel-toed work boot called the Targhee.  When I replaced them last week the identical steel toe design available was called the Lansing🤷🏼

Late to the party, but just put a year on the Tourmaster Epic's $89.00 with a discount at Revzilla. Really happy the zippers are holding up, the top velcro has pooped out, and they broke in easily. Bonus is, I have EEE feet, and the boots come in Wide size. Oh, good soles too, stepped on an ice patch the other day, and the boot slid sideways and stuck on the wet/non-iced pavement causing a cold sweat and nearly a stoplight topple.

Paying for good ones that fit doesn't bother me, the problem is finding some that actually do fit! After some foot trouble I started wearing Birkenstock made shoes and now can't stand to wear anything with a normal toe box. Try finding moto boots shaped like duck feet!

LOL...could replace word "boot" with "gear" for same effect.
i have more invested in gear than in the K75.  love riding but mitigating injury risk is high priority.  more money does not necessarily buy more risk reduction, but there is a definite relationship.

get what fits that has the most protection.  if it doesn't fit, you won't use it or it will detract from riding experience.   not all companies have the same fit.  TCX/Alpinestar brands fit best for me in boots.  Rukka for pants and jacket.  Shoei for helemts.  Helite for air vest.  i have other brands of gear too...but...the ones i listed are my go to for fit, function and risk reduction.
