I decided to increase the degree of my protection, and therefore instead of ordinary shoes it was decided to buy specialized motorcycle boots.

I decided to increase the degree of my protection, and therefore instead of ordinary shoes it was decided to buy specialized motorcycle boots.

To buy or not to buy motorcycle shoes?

Of course, everyone decides for himself, but given that I have little experience and having read what the lack of protection can turn into, I bought myself shoes.

In addition to protection, one of the pushes to buy was the rain, under which I fell in the city. The rain was light, but for 20 km I soaked my feet in my boots through!

Pros and cons of motorcycle boots

Pros:

– Better protection

– There is protection from water since I took Water-proof bots

Cons:

– Less comfortable than boots

– At first it is inconvenient to change gears

How do I change gears on a motorcycle in motorboats?

I didn't think I would face such a problem, but at first I was shocked how inconvenient it was to click gears in moto shoes!

The boot is thick, so the foot doesn't crawl completely under the gear foot!

After reading the forums, I identified the following solution to the problem:

1) Twist the gear leg above. That is, that the shoe would crawl under it.

But I did not suffer like this, because I do not always ride in motor boots and in simple sneakers it will clearly not be convenient to switch, and I did not want to spin the mot once again.

2) Switch the edge of the shoe! This is the simplest and most correct solution. DO NOT shove the shoe under the foot of the gears, you just need to touch it sideways! After a couple of hundred miles, I became accustomed to clicking gears with the edge of my shoe.

Well, in general, I would rather take not ICON Reign Waterproof Boot, but Dainese! And perhaps there would be no such problem, because Dainese are thinner in wear. But in general, of course, it depends on the model.
