Motor touring boots?

This might not be quite the right forum but I'm giving it a shot anyway...

I'm in the market for a fresh pair of motorcycle touring boots. Aerostich has discontinued their Combat Touring Boot, and Chippewa has dropped their heritage line, so no more Rally Odessa boots.

There are some rally chippewa boots on Ebay, how do heritage chip's run for size? I have wide feet and I wear an 11 in a sneaker, but boots I can be as small as 10 in some models.

So I'm looking for suggestions for a safe motorboot that is a) not slip on, b) resolable c) has some protective qualities like thick leather, padding, internal armor, and d) has a classic non-storm trooper look.

Leather and velcro is fine, but leather and buckles are prefered. Some of the vintage motocross boots look promising too.

Limited range of stuff out there that falls into this taller boot quality, while combining an aesthetic that would appear in these parts (or even avoids looking awful) while also reaching any sort of PPE Standard.


A lot of people still ride with Lewis boots. Not cheap, but quality boots and would get the style you're after. No armouring, but decent leather. TCX Fuel might be worth you looking at (similar to some Belstaff styles, but much more afforable. Not owned a pair but they review well. https://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.s...ts/SubProducts/TCX-Fuel-Waterproof-Boots-0001 Come in black or brown. The Belstaff Endurance is in this same ballpark, though obviously pricier - https://www.motolegends.com/motorcycle-boots/belstaff-endurance-boots-black.html Looks a little like an engineer side on, but it is a zip-up boot. Don't know how neatly it fits, mind. TCX FUel WP is in this same vibe too - https://www.tcxboots.com/gb/en/urban/vintage/fuel-wp---black-20179T7096W001.html

Stylmartin Continental has that 70s/80s vibe of the stuff you posted above - https://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.s.../Stylmartin-Continental-Waterproof-Boots-0004

For me, the Dr. Martens AirSole gives me the best "feel" when I need to step down at a complete stop.




I know what people say about them being cheap boots, poorly constructed, etc. What it all comes down to, for me, is how good it feels when the bike is stopped, and my feet need to plant. I own other boots. Much better boots with Vibram soles. I like the lug soles and wedge soles. English air soles just seem to have the right feel to me. I suspect Solovair should feel similar.

I'm planning a long motor touring trip and I'm in the market for a good pair of motor touring boots. I've heard a lot about different brands and styles, but I'm not sure which ones are the best for long-distance comfort and durability. What features should I be looking for in a good pair of touring boots? Are there any specific brands or models you'd recommend based on personal experience? Also, any tips on breaking them in would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
