I have a lot of different footwear.
when riding my street 750 I normally wear either my black tactical boots with side zipper or my hiking boots that cover the ankles.
at first, on this bike, I tried my steel toed wolverine boots, but the toe is too thick to easily be able to shift.
no matter what, all of these are oil and slip resistant and cover the ankles.
I must admit I do miss my old redwing boots, best and most comfortable boots I ever owned, but after 10+ years and several re-soles I finally had to throw them away. ...and the place that sold them around here is no longer in business, that's why I had to go with wolverine this time, so far these are comfortable and seem well built. I just cant ride in them.
