Okay /o/ I've been riding my yamaha R6 for some time now and I need to ask, do any of you guys honestly wear bike boots?

Like I always wear my gloves, jacket, helmet but I wear my Vans or Chucks when I ride. I've never seen a need for motorbike boots.

Are they just a meme or am I missing something?

A guy in m/o/to got in a bad wreck a year ago, oncoming traffic clipped his right side and destroyed the bones and skin in/on his ankle. After a year of being laid up he got a bone infection and had to have it amputated. Would riding boots have saved him? Who knows, but they certainly would have helped by not allowing the bones to be crushed.

You do you man, I'll never ride again without them,

I'll take the bait. They're not memes what do you think happens to your feet and ankles when you slide on a road?

Boots don't keep bones from being crushed they prevent your feet from being rubbed off

Enjoy your broken ankles anon.

i squid all the time and i've crashed squdding, even, with no major injuries

but proper gear will really show it's worth in a crash as long as you don't get flattened

i only really rely on long pants, full face, and gloves because if my brain survives a bad wreck i hope i can at least wipe my own ass

but if you want to be the safest possible, get motoboots

wrong


OP, wear boots. Holy shit wear boot. Your feet are one of the important things you have, do you want to lose a foot?
>>
>>15423740
Wrong. Most boots have toe-caps, steel shank and some form of molded protection for your ankle and heel.
>>
>>15423765
They keep you feet from overstretching/ankles breaking but they don't help shit on impact.
>>
>>15423748

It's your life OP, do what you want.
>>
>>15423740
you can still drive a car with a peg leg
>>
>>15423793
as someone that has had their leg saved from being crushed by boots multiple times, no.
>>
>>15423699
>riding boots are memes

I like my foot skin and ankles, thank you very much.

>>15423699
Only wear motorbike helmet, gloves, jacket then just vans . Occasionally kevlar jeans normal cargo pants or normal jeans the rest of the time
