The GOAT of Short Motorcycle Boots: Indie Ridge

[rdprdp01]

Among my many defects, I have wide feet. Good for balance, but challenging to find shoes and boots that fit properly at a good price. I own two pairs of Indie Ridge Boots and am saving for a third pair that are ventilated. The post above addresses the specs and the quality of workmanship. Two years in, both boots have exceeded my high expectations. Many motorcyclists criticize my decision to wear short boots rather than those that reach the knee, favored by adventure riders. My riding style has me leaving the motorcycle and entering buildings or taking in a scenic vista or walking at a market. Although an adventure boot is safer, the trade-offs are too high for me.

The protection is unmatched for a boot that ends above the ankle. For your day-to-day, Gone, consider Indie Ridge. Steve, the owner, is a motorcyclist and someone who actually uses his own products. He will accept a return if you unbox them and find that they simply are not up to the task of taking over from your Tourmaster Epics. You will be lacing up a boot and not using a zipper if you adopt Indie Ridge. For me, I prefer it. It helps set the tone before I start the motorcycle.

My next pair of Indie Ridge boots for hot days will be the Walker.

My fourth pair that will be waterproof Mohawks.
