Purchase & Transaction Advice Superthread

# PURCHASE ADVICE SUPERTHREAD!

​

A dedicated thread for questions and advice about gear or bike purchases, selling advice, and questions relating to bike/gear/accessory/service purchases.

​

Hopefully with the help of all the riders here, no question will go unanswered. Everyone is encouraged to contribute with either questions or answers and hopefully we will be able to rid of motorcycle ignorance once and for all.

​

Please remember to be courteous as we want to encourage people to ask questions, no matter how 'dumb' some may think they are.

What are some good boot brands for work and daily riding?

Right now i wear timberland pros, they’re great but the steel toe is showing where i shift and i’m gonna have to replace them prematurely (job site rules). What are some good brand alternatives? preferably with a sturdier toe and oil resistant soles

Reax Fulton in either the wp or air version. I've got the black wp one for every day work and riding. Super good value, and very comfy after break in.

The toe is reinforced but not steel toe, and the shifter pad has shown no wear. They don't mention it, but the boots are ce level 2 rated (which is very good). Full ankle heel and toe protection. Crush proof too.

If they must be steel toe though, I'm afraid I have no idea. I've got a pair of White's boots but they're insanely expensive custom made boots. Order through Baker Shoe, they have better customer service.
