Ok how do you buy a 3E street boot. Nobody makes wide widths. Seeing everyone's feet get wider with age, and motorcyclists are getting older why not???

I’ve pestered Lemmy and the zilla techs before about this one, but calf size is a place where I’ve struggled. Anything that comes much above the ankle winds up with the top unzipped/snapped/laced.

"Wide variety" said multiple times in video but nothing mentioned about wide boots.

Riding my Kawasaki Versys 1000 with Alpinestars "Toucan" boots and Berik "All Terrain Adventure" and LOVIN´ it. They´re great while riding and quite good while walking. No need for anything else.

You guys should measure the boots you carry to find which models are wide. I bought so many boots some review said were wide just to have to return them.
And I don't want wide waterproof boots. If I wanted waterproof boots I'd stick my feet in shopping bags.

Very good video 👍
As a Dainese fan I'll buy the Dainese boots 👍

I dont understand you didnt go over if the boot or shoe is supposed to be/feel snug or somewhat loose depending on the use.

I like the lighting, I focus more on him and the boots rather than the background

I use Tourmaster Epic waterproof OutDry and they’re perfect. Fit is ridiculously perfect. I traditionally wear size 13...work boots, sneakers, etc. but the Epics are 12.5. The foot bed fits my foot like it was made for me. They flex great even though they come up mid-calf. I commute 80 miles a day and they’re always comfortable. Zip on and off is awesome, reflective patches are nice and the armor throughout boot is comforting.

got size 17/18in. feet, is there anybody that makes boots that big or am I stuck with buying steel toe boots cut those are the only boots I can get

[Tripyxthegod]

So I’m a size 14, so what would be best for me

I wish they weren't so specialized. What I really wanted was a leather, casual boot, but full height and ideally without laces. It's not so easy to find something good like that. The Elsinore was cool, but i seem to only find them in that ugly light, orange-ish leather.

If using US sizing just put a measure tape on the floor and place your feet over it, the size number is just the inches in US.

why am i watching this, i don't have a motorcycle and i'm also not planning on getting one

[thomasfrank]

Laces wear through at the eyelets when you slide down the road, won't they?

[xxslentkller]

U should mention that we are paying for brand tho

[seventysevencats]

The sizing part wasn't really useful. Just common sense...

I have yet to find a pair of boots that are actually wide and don't crush my feet. Why are all motorcycle boots made for 10 year old geisha girls.
