I'm a fan of Klim gear. But they don't have any motorcycle boots that I like. So I started searching. Here are my criteria:
- Ankle armor. 3DO if possible.
- Toe protection.
- Shin protection. If you've ever been hit by gravel at speed...
- Waterproof.
- Leather construction.
- Vibram sole, if possible.
- Shift patch.
I found several boots over $300 which checked most of the boxes. Then I found Falco Tourance boots. I ordered them from Motostorm in Italy. They were significantly less expensive than most similar boots. They took about two weeks to ship to the U.S. [url=https://www.motostorm.it/en/clothing/boots/falco-tourance-black.html]Motostorm.
I've ridden with them for about 400 miles, so far. I like everything about them. They're still a bit stiff, but they're breaking in. They're also a bit warm, but not uncomfortably so. They have a thicker sole than my previous boots, so I had to raise the shift lever. They have the same armor as my Klim gear. Hopefully, I'll never have to test that. Overall, I'm really pleased. I still have to see how they do in cold weather. I'm sure they'll be fine. I got a size big enough to accommodate thick socks.
