[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1210212, member: 68872"] For my purposes, the boots do several things: 1) Heat shield from the motor/exhaust 2) Protection from branches, rocks and other objects that you might brush up against while riding (even if you don't crash/fall) 3) Foot protection and ankle support when you put a foot down in a sharp turn. 4) Abrasion / impact resistance when you do fall and your leg is between the bike and the ground. In my opinion, boots are a must. Anything is better than nothing, and you quickly get to a point of being adequate. Beyond that are issues of comfort, durability and fashion. I tend to end up wearing the boots all day so they need to have a basic level of comfort. If your bike breaks down you may be walking back to camp so a reasonable fit is important. Buckles that break or won't stay closed can be really irritating. Rod [/QUOTE]
