What footwear do you wear for everyday riding?

[bluevolt]

Dude, this is an awesome effort - I will share some pictures of my toe shifter after some days. Then you can perhaps copy the design and make one of your own.

long rides : rbk's running shoes i got for around rs4000.. I got it about 3 years back and wear it to college for 6 days a week. No problems from toe shifter or anything. Very hard protection near the ankle but almost nothing near the toes (its mesh near the toes) and its not even slightly water proof.. But will last very long!
Very value for money...
For in-and-around-area rides, i use some lotto floaters which i got some 3+ years back.. And use it 7 days a week.. Even it is holding up very good and no problem with them.

I didnt see this post early. thanks for the offer, but Iam not located in bangalore. My bad luck!!! However i have custom made my own version of shift protector since it was my 1st DIY try, the finish isnt great. iam still working on it (read it as extensive testing) if it works out well, then the future ones will have better features and looks here are the pics;

those look like some hunting boots ,& looks crude too .LOL
just buy new ones when they get torn

1) Mention brand/make, model name and price you got it for.--ACME safety shoes-1000 rs.
2) The reason behind why you wear the shoe you do.---very rough and tough, very thick leather, no problem even if you swim in water with it, iron cup in front for toe protection, anti skid, acid and oil proof sole.
3) How long has it lasted you so far---1.5 years
4) Any other comments/feedback.--cheapest shoes that will actually protect ur feet in an accident.

Hey is it wearable for everyday use to office? How much did it cost? Does it come with a metal toe area? Can you post some pic if possible?

[anants_220]

To those who wear sandals while riding.. please dont...

i wear lee cooper ankle boots while riding, or a normal rbk sports shoe thats fully black .

I agree. But if it rains like how it rains here in Mumbai, floaters work very well. I understadn the risk in the event of a fall, but how many pairs of shoes can one buy !
And haven't found a 100% waterproof boot yet.

Gum boots. Its cheap, ugly and smelly. At least the ones you get locally. But they are 100% waterproof...if you have to wear.

Me I got myself a boot called Texas Steer from US for rainy days. Its completely waterproof and styled like army boots. Not very comfy to walk around but damn tough. Other times, I wear whatever shoes I have depending on my mood.

1) Formal leather shoes on workdays
2) Sports shoes/ sneakers/ sandals over weekends or casual occasions
3) 'SIDI Vertigo Rain' riding boots for weekend or other long rides

Can't wear smelly shoes ! They're the only thing that put me off.
