I like those funky BMW boots....
But then again, look at what I ride.
dlearl said:Knary-I have a pair of Alpinstar "Vector" boots that I love. Although they might not fit your requirements in several areas. They're a little pricey (MSRP $233 but you can find the ~$200 if you shop around) the might be more water "resistant" than proof, I've worn mine in several rainy wet rides and they held up great, the have a neoprene liner and the front is mostly plastic, but the Pacific North-Wet, I don't know. Re-Sole, I don't know. Although most MX generally, and Alpinstar specifically are, these have a molded sole so I can't say.
Armor, they got it, comfort they got it. I wore them to Baja one year and I took my flip flops out of my panniers exactly once, to go to the beach, in 10 days. All day WALKING comfort. (Athough the two mile hike to a "point-confluence" location I did the first day I had them was a bit much! )

BradfordBenn said:ya see Knary, if you ride the GS the way Rad does, you'll never see what color the boots are.
fish said:you can still see the KTM orange tho.

Makalu said:Two questions....
1. How waterproof are the Discovery's (assuming the river isn't up to your knees )?
2. Have you looked at the BMW Savannah's? I haven't tried them on yet but they look like they'd be a good compromise between on road and off.
Has anyone owned a pair of the Savanna's and can give some feedback on them?
(Okay, I guess that was three questions, sorry .

I'll have to see them in the flesh and on my feet.
MPY = Monkey Piss Yellow
That's what more than a few blasphemers call the mandarin yellow.

I know you mentioned the Daytona boots to be too pricey, but I looked and looked and they seemed to be the only boots I liked that were big enough for my duck feet. (14 ish)
Granted they were around $300 and I had to wait for Germany to kill enough cows to make them, I'm pretty happy overall. Helimot was terrific, even with the rotten delevery time. (seems I ordered them over December and Germany shut down?)
I use to drag a little in tight corners before, not at all since I started wearing these. Guess I'll see how they are in the heat of a CA summer.
Good luck in your search.

I'll try them on at some point. If they're a perfect comfy fit, I'll do what I can to ignore their hideousnous. But I can only do so much. Maybe they look better in person?
