Hey all,

I just got a new job and they said I need to get some work boots. I might be traveling on my bike every once in a while also. I already have some badass riding boots but I need work boots too, apparently. Bottom line is-- What is a comfortable work boot that also works for riding? (Not an expensive riding boot that I can wear all day)

TIA

 

I think you can pretty much ride in whatever work boot you want. As long as you can get the toe under the shifter, you should be good.

 

Yea; tried that before and no luck. I went and bought the thinnest boots they had at Wal-Mart and they were still too thick. Anyone else got any ideas? None of you ride with boots? Newbs...

 

I ride with boots... but they are Oxstar boots specifically designed for riding, not for working. You wouldn't want to have to walk around in them all day. In fact, if I am going somewhere that I will be off the bike walking around, I don't wear them.

 

adjust your shift linkage???

 

How about ride to the work site in normal riding boots and carry your work boots in a pack? You can change boots when you arive and stash the riding boots in a buddy's truck or something?

 

I got some brahma waterproof boots from wal mart and they work pretty good do you need steel toe? i heard those are harder to ride with

 

I think a steel toe would be really difficult to ride with. I don't think I need a steel toed boot (at least they didn't say so). I think the brahma boots are the ones I bought and took back cuz they were too hard to ride with; then again, I thought the same about my Oxtars and now I don't wanna ride without them. Lol. Thanks for your help guys.

If anyone else has any input, please lmk.

 

Thought about that, but it sounds like a pain. I might have to try that too. Thanks.

 

i ride to work with steel toe walmart boots everyday. a little weird at first but now its fine
