Hi ladies,

I need suggestion on what boots to buy for regular street riding.  Any suggestions for boots that add a little bit of height would help.  Thanks.

"i like it when riders throw me a peace sign when they see me ride"

When I first started riding I wore a pair of knee high black boots with a chunky heel. They allowed me to stand somewhat flat footed at traffic lights and such. . . but then I saw a video where someone's foot got destroyed and I've been wearing my Sidis ever since . . .

If you have a local Harley shop I would stop in and see if they have and hard toe, reinforced shin,  heeled boots.

Also, Sidi makes a pair (I beleieve they are called "Rose") of black leather boots that look somewhat fashionable and have a heel that are reinforced in the toe and ankle. Maybe grab a pair of those until you are comfortable with the balance of the bike? Then I would suggest getting the more reinforced boots (this can be hard because they lower your range of motion making it harder to be on your tip-toes) but once you get used to it they're great.

Let me know if you need more specifics or options!

Ride safe!

My girl has a pair of Icon Super Duty 2's and loves them.  Take a look at http://www.metricbikes-superstore.com/products.php for the cheapest price and free shipping.

I agree that you should make sure the boot has good solid protection.  I always wore a leather boot above the ankle style until I saw a buddy who had his ankle almost torn off.  I have recently bought a pair of all weather boots by 'Altimate'  called "Monza" and they are great for year round riding and have awesome proctection featuring........rubber bottoms (only about 2" heel), leather uppers, waterproof membrane, ankle and shin protection, moulded footbed insert and rubber shift pad.  Footwear is big time important!!

Nothing beats Sidi for foot protection IMO. Expensive yes, but since I started wearing Sidi boots I have never had a foot or ankle injury in my many crashes on track. Even on the street I wear my race boots! I own the Sidi Vert Corsa race boots.

My girl wears and really likes Icon Bombshell boots.

Also check out the Redwing website. They make safety shoes and boots of all varieties, a motorcycle line, and they have women's sizes!  I wear a hiking boot style for the street that is wearable even off the bike. I  wear these boots all day when teaching on my MSF range without my feet hurting the next day. They are steel toed, and shanked.
