Ask Nick in Ehf he’ll set you up
I am so tempted to gatekeep something but imma dm you LOL @dang
If they’re specifically for motorcycles I would highly recommend considering actual motorcycle boots. Leather boots are better than sneakers but they don’t have the full support a real motorcycle boot does. Lateral ankle support is really important if the bike is dropped on your foot and can be the difference between a broken ankle and getting up and walking away
Engineer and to a lesser extent harness boots are inherently designed to provide ankle support and are pretty common among riders. I get switching to something more lightweight for a sportbike or something, or lace up if you’re on a cruiser. But for general purpose durability/support/protection, a correctly fitted engineer boot is def up for the task
As long as the boots are CE rated I’d agree with you. The level of rigidity from a work boot to any motorcycle boot is pretty drastic.
I wouldn’t personally sacrifice any bit of safety for style for my gear. I wear full gauntlets and high boots to go to the grocery store a mile from my house
Thats a little preachy and annoying lol I don’t mean for it to come off that way. I guess I’m more so trying to just steer people in the direction of “hey buy something marketed for actual motorcycle use (usually marked with a CE certification) since there’s a lot of bogus out there”
