        I use Woodland with my P220 and I should say say the comfort is good but only if you stop caring about your shoe. The space between the foot peg and the gear lever is just perfect for the shoe to fit it and woodland gives you the security against crashes too but then my new shoe got marks all over the front top within one week of riding even after the gear lever being covered by rubber grip.
        PS -- I am too lazy to clean the shoe

          where can i get riding shoes in chennai and which brand and make is the best ?
          If you are specific in buying a riding boots in Chennai, go to Dollars & pounds at Madyakailash & those are all fake ones as far as i know.

          but if you can check online, there are quite a lot of options

          adventureontherocks.com
          orazo.com
          planetdsg.com
          bachoomotors.com
          etc etc
          Never Give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

                    Got myself a new pair of Woodland shoes worth 3000Rs!

                    I usually ride my bikes with shoes..recently brought these Woodland shoes b'coz they are light & tough..the front of the shoe is covered with thick leather..hope this will prevent from staining my shoes from the shifter..also I have covered the shifter with foam..the one i got from the watch box package..till now no problem but have to replace the foam once in a week..

                      i usually use chappals / floaters bought for Rs.100/- bucks
                      or sometimes black shoes bought for Rs.350/- or sports shoes bought for Rs.300/- all from Saravana Stores Chennai, and they are very comfortable waterproof and last a long time. only black shoe is not waterproof.

                        Generally Timberland suede Leather soft heal shoes
                        Bought for 50 GBP in England

                        Sometimes Metro Leather Shoes ( typical Office wear )

                        Never sandals as i face difficulty while changing gear and do not feel safe as well.

                              Guys ,
                              I am not sure whether I can ask this question here, Please redirect me incase if I am not in the respective forum.

                              I am intending to buy a new shoe which I can use for riding and to office as well. ( These guys don't allow sportshoes on weekdays).

                              I am trying to pick a pulsar 200ns as well. So considering the gear shifting ( by pushing the gear lever from below using toes) could you please tell me which can suit my requirements.

                              Reason of me asking this question being I was not comfortable using my regular office shoes( Leecooper) for riding an ApacheRTR 160. I did feel some pain on my toes.

                              Guys can you please help me out by pitching in your valuable suggestions ?
