BMW Santiago Boots Review
BMW Santiago Boots Review The BMW Santiago boots are typically classified as an Adventure Touring boot, but don’t let the moniker fool you; they can do more — far more. Understated traditional styling hides most of the boots strengths and capabilities until they are worn and used. The Santiago boots are supremely comfortable with hard-to-beat …

Falco 480 Raid Boots Review
Falco 480 “Raid” Boots Review Style, protection, function and comfort are key descriptors that come to mind when assessing the Falco 480 RAID motorcycle boots.

Nice styling and high-quality construction combined with comfort on and off the bike make these a winner.

Diadora Xtreme Boots Review
Diadora “Xtreme” Motorcycle Boots Light and airy feeling, the Diadora Xtreme boots are for riders who are looking for comfortable, good looking and affordable racing boot. Why do motorcycle riders buy racing equipment? Do they ever go racing? Or do they really need the protection? I see many riders in full racing garb, even thought …
Sidi Jasmine Rain Boots
Sidi “Jasmine” Rain Boots Review They look like leather but these protective, waterproof motorcycle boots are made with Lorica. When it comes to shoes, I normally prefer leather — leather looks good, breaks in easily, breathes well, and is usually very durable.

Treds Waterproof Motorcycle Rain Boots 2010 Review Revised for 2010, the Treds Waterproof Motorcycle Rain Boots really are waterproof with no ifs, ands or buts.

Sidi Crossfire Boots Review
Sidi Crossfire TA Boots Review A new year is upon us and notwithstanding the piles of white cold stuff outside, my first evaluation of 2010 comes up as a positive experience. The Sidi Crossfire TA boots might represent the base motocross offering, but I am glad to say that these boots accommodate without much sacrifice. …
Sidi “Slash” Boots Review
Sidi “Slash” Motorcycle Boots The Sidi Slash street shoes or boots have mesh tops for excellent air flow. They have typical Sidi attention to safety but the absence of adjustability at the ankle may be problematic for some. Sidi is probably the King (and/or Queen) of motorcycle boots. I don’t suppose there is a registry …
Frey Daytona Boots
Daytona Lady Star GTX Women’s Motorcycle Boots Retro styling conceals modern features in this top-of-the-range touring boot. All-season, waterproof, and with a built-in height advantage that shorter riders will really appreciate.

TCX Sunray Boots Review
TCX Sunray Women’s Motorcycle Boots The TCX Women’s Sunray Gore-Tex Boots are leather women’s specific boots with plenty of reinforcement for added protection.

BMW Street Sneaker 3 Review
Short Boots With BMW Style The BMW Street Sneaker 3 boots are comfortable right out of the box. After the outside of the sole hits the ground, there isn’t much sensation of wearing anything. They flex, support and provide pressure exactly where needed, at least for my foot. A small premium will be paid: I …
Sidi Vertigo Lei Boots
Sidi Vertigo Lei Boots Review Sidi has not forgotten the woman rider! The Sidi Vertigo Lei boots are not a frou-frou-fashion woman’s motorcycle accessory designed by men who think they know what a motorcycle riding woman should look like. These are the real thing — just as high-tech, strong and safe as the best Sidi …
Sidi Doha Boots Review
Sidi Doha Motorcycle Boots The Sidi Doha boots are very comfortable and good-looking.

Falco 305 ESO TT Boots Review
Falco 305 ESO TT Motorcycle Boots Review The Falco 305 ESO TT boots are high-quality real leather boots made the old-fashioned way — by hand in Italy.

TCX SS Performance 2 Boots Review
TCX SS Performance 2 Boots Review The Oxtar TCS Sport boots I reviewed back in 2004 have been my all-time favorites for a number of reasons.

Sidi Strada Evo Rain Boots Review
Waterproof Racing Boots for the Street The Sidi Strada Evo Rain Boot offers a race-boot inspired design with subdued styling.

But wouldn’t look like …
Specter Road Leather Motorcycle Boots
Specter Road Leather Motorcycle Boots What exactly is a motorcycle boot? Work boots like the classic “engineer” boot and the logger boot are popular with motorcyclists, but they weren’t designed primarily for motorcycle riding.
