Wait a minute... you're actually going to wear and demo a boot for a review?!? Not just show it on some models' foot or ride around the block a few times. Goodness! What will other 'reviewers' think?!
Thank you for actually reviewing products not just shilling.

The things that drives me crazy is the unavailability of wide sizes in motorcycle boots.

[Samoaba]

I for one loved that mustache and cigarette on 46.4 😂

[Spiro]

Shout out to that banger song reference at the start

Have had the same Sidi Canyons for probably 15 + year's. Still 100% water proof. Can wear all day and they don't smell. Best boot I ever owned.

[TheRealYorkshireman]

Daytona boots are the best. German quality and excellent value for money and they will repair and refurbish old ones. My pair are 25 years old and still good as new.

I have had the Alpinestars air v2 GTX boots for two years now. I’ve worn them all season, rode in them in 12° F and 100°. I don’t have any negatives about them, they are perfect for the intended use. They don’t offer protection like a true sport or MX style boot, but there’s enough to keep your mind at ease. They’re easy on and off, they breathe enough if you wear the correct socks, they are comfortable to walk in and take the short hike that we all do when we find something cool to check out on a ride.

9:40 you actually just described exactly what genuine leather is. Despite its name, genuine leather is actually the lowest grade of fabric that still contains leather fibres in the manufacturing process. You want full grain, split, nubuck, or even suede before so called genuine leather

Thanks for actually riding in those boots and for the honest review. Those were too dumb looking for me to buy anyways,

I did not expect to hear lyrics from THE CHATS to be in this show

[duncanorr]

Tried a few now but swear by my daytona travel stars. They're comfortable, supportive and feel a lot safer than most normal touring boots.

I love watching the various South-Park-Kenny-Esque deaths haha

Luckily I live in Great Britain and for the last 8 years I’ve used the excellent Altberg Tourmaster 2 boots as used by the police, escort riders etc . Been riding bikes long distance for 53 years, don’t smoke 😂😂 really well made in good quality leather, proper toe bumper and deep treaded sole. The best bit they made my service boots while in the marines and last year had them resoled and new bumpers put on for decent price by Altberg . Best winter boots I’ve ever worn and after being resoled came back like new . 😊👍👍👍

Not gunna lie I've been hoping @RoseAnvil would take apart more motorcycle boots but I'm happy Fortnine did it

[adambeverley]

I've had a pair of Forma adventure's for a couple of years now, they're comfortable, waterproof so far and reasonably priced.

[SecondHalfofLife]

Forma terra evo lows are a good option for road touring if you have wide feet. Good protection, stiff sole, waterproof, warm (maybe too warm) and durable). Technically it's an ADV boot but I'd call it a touring boot in the Low version.

[larrydillon]

The thing I really care about is if I can hike in them, or at least walk a good distance, once I get to my destination. I tend to favor my work boots for riding because the Alpinestars I have feel like ski boots when I try to walk in them.

[johnbagley]

Your candour and sense of humour are much appreciated.

[robertthenobert]

Take a look at "DAYTONA" Boots from Germany, on how to do it right.

[runningbird]

No complaints about my alpinestars, had them for years now and they toured across Canada on my KLR just fine. The only downer about them is that they don't have a heal worth mentioning which makes time off the saddle less pleasant but plenty of room in the boxes for hiking boots and sandals. 👍
