I’ve been wearing the bates bomber boots after I picked them up for an insanely low price of $65 and I can say it is a very comfortable boot with a nice solid feel to it when you switch gears since it’s not a very thick leather on the top which lets you feel the peg a lot better. Plus they look great, especially when you have a connection to the military which makes you more attached to the boot.
I've had the rokker urban racer boots for a few months now. I ride every day so they've had allot of miles in a short amount of time. I've never even spent half as much on shoes before but I have to say, I love these boots. they are just so damn sexy, comfortable, and well made! i usually tear through shoes like it's my job and I can tell that these will be with me for many years to come.
Here I was thinking that the engine of your bike had nothing to do with what kind of boots you were wearing. After watching this video, I still think that.
IDK. I'm in the market for a new pair of boots and I ride a Metric bagger but I still wear and rock my Alpinestars MX5s from my gixxer days. Keep up the good reviews and sharing the gear info.
All these boots are just trendy stuff that are fashion items and not a useful motorcycle boot.Brand never matters to an everyday bike rider.Bike boots that don't have a proper heel are not bike boots.all motorcycle riders know that a heel is very important. You have to be confident your foot is staying on the peg.The boots here are for newbies that think proper boots hurt their feet after a lifetime of wearing Nike.Jogger style motorcycle boots shouldn't even be advertised as for a Bike.What do you think is going to happen to your plastis boots when they slide down the road
The Rokker and the Bates are both good looking boots that I would wear while riding a sportbike. The last one looked a little feminine to me, I don't know exactly why though.
How would these boots differ to using a pair of timberland's or CAT shoes? Is the ankle bone protection that significant in these to justify them over the other brands I mention?
None of them comes in specific wide sizes, but the Bates, Icon, TCX, and Speed & Strength boots all have a slightly wide width. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/best-cruiser-motorcycle-riding-boots-2017
I can say without a doubt as a cruiser rider and one who's hung out with other cruiser riders...(apart from the Bates) none of these would be on anyone's feet at a bar meet, horrible attempt at the classic boot style. it's like what happens when you take an Dianese fanboy and ask them what cruiser looks better, they'll pick a Gucci lol. the truth when it comes to Motorcycle boots that have that work/military look is that the industry has not really bothered to apply any of the good features to the boots we like, if you want the style you'll most likely be stuck with the old school tech (good toe protector and thick leather). will say I'm usually on board with your choices, this one just made me depressed, you'll only see these boots on hipsters trying to get into the cruiser "group"
Agreed, shit I'd rather buy another pair of my Corcorans than buy any of this poser bullshit (yeah, not even the Bates), for fucks sake they didn't even include some square toe harness boots, come on Revzilla, love your reviews and I do buy gear from you, but damn, son!
"at at a bar meet" BAHAHAHAHAHA. Talking about posers, yet you are just as much of one. A bar meet? Are you kidding? You probably condition your leather chaps and check yourself in the mirror before getting to your bar meet. Gotta look good when you are posing, right?
Jonathan Garzon then there's guys like me, who's motorcycle is not directly linked to my social life....and have the confidence to sometimes wear a boot that is slightly funky looking. i wear thorogoods for work, redwings casually, all USA made. Neither are great motorcycle boots, and they arent waterproof. Moc toes will get a flat spot under the shifter and are prone to mis-shifts at high rpms since they dont have a hard pad to shift with. Kind of ironic you're talking about "posers" when you're concerned about looking good for bunch of dudes at a bar instead of having a more functional, dedicated riding boot.
Your reviews are excellent but I have no idea why you call these boots and other products " V-Twin". There are cruisers other than V-Twins. I ride a Triumph Rocket III Touring and there's no reason these boots aren't fine for that. Don't get me wrong; I like HD's and I've owned them. They're nice little bikes. In fact, I was thinking of getting a HD to carry in my saddle bag as a spare for my Rocket but realized that, unlike HD's, the Rocket never has problems so I don't need a spare. :-) Seriously, though, when I ride HD's now, they feel so small and under-powered. Anyway, I have no idea why you refer to products as V-Twin stuff.
I found a pair of boots at cycle gear for a $125, they were $200 everywhere else. Lace up one time then use the zipper on the side. Carbon fiber in the toe.

Yep, I'm sure the first time you go with your friends to ride,they would yell, you wear Italian boots!!!!!

Icon anyone? :)
Bought Icon Patrol waterproof for $90
Rokker boots made IN Portugal? Well, all the best from, Portugal!
Great review as always, only thing else I want to know in an overview is which boots are CE rated.
2:14 is the reason why I want a flat sole.
SFSideburns flat sole boots are not safe.thats why they are a fashion item.motorcycle boots have a heel for a reason
What about the SV650 crowd? It’s a V-twin 😁
Got a 2003 naked 👍

Bates look great
A few years ago if you wanted an ugly and expensive boot was just look at the sports section, now you find them in the cruiser section as well.
Helped me make my choice. That and finding BIG Foot wide sizes. ;-)
what if my v twin is a (Buell?
Touché. In that case, see our sport/race boots guide. -DrewZilla

Not all V.twins are harley's :( (aprilia RSV owner ;D)
@@NjoyMoney Ducati's, Honda RC51, Bimota's, Suzuki TL's, KTM's, just to name a few I own a Aprilia and a Buell XB too :-)

I'll stick with my Thorougoods
Whoa! These aren't real motorcycle boots. DON'T COME BACK TILL YOU DO!
The Rokker and the Bates are both good looking boots that I would wear while riding a sportbike. The last one looked a little feminine to me, I don't know exactly why though.
John Jacob cuz they look like Uggz
Chilling on my Aprilia RSV and looking at these options like wut?!?!? ;)
u jelly bruv?
I like the American boot the best. Great review, thanks.
Great job!
Aaaand you missed out on the cowboy boots, lotta guys I've met love wearing those while riding,
Is a timberland boot safe for riding?
Not really, as it doesn't have any ankle protection or proper lateral impact/crush protection. -DrewZilla
How would these boots differ to using a pair of timberland's or CAT shoes? Is the ankle bone protection that significant in these to justify them over the other brands I mention?
Yes, the ankle protection is a significant difference in our experience. -DrewZilla
RevZilla thanks Drew!
You're welcome!
Late reply but the Rokker Urban boots which are very expensive do NOT have ankle protection!! Unbelievable I know
I like he's intro
Will there ever be a (Roadster) Flat Twin Moto Boots?
Not sure what you mean by your question. Can you elaborate? -DrewZilla
“V-Twin Moto Boots” seemed specific boots for specific motorcycle.
How ‘bout those who are on Flat Twins?
to any of those boots come in wide sizes
None of them comes in specific wide sizes, but the Bates, Icon, TCX, and Speed & Strength boots all have a slightly wide width. -DrewZilla

Nice, no comments
I think I will stick with my military surplus and Wal Mart boot, thanks.
Jonathan Norris Wal-Mart boots? I used to go cheap on work boots from Wal-Mart, I got sick of them not lasting a year without falling apart.
No discussion on the protection features, only the looks…
I can say without a doubt as a cruiser rider and one who's hung out with other cruiser riders...(apart from the Bates) none of these would be on anyone's feet at a bar meet, horrible attempt at the classic boot style. it's like what happens when you take an Dianese fanboy and ask them what cruiser looks better, they'll pick a Gucci lol.
the truth when it comes to Motorcycle boots that have that work/military look is that the industry has not really bothered to apply any of the good features to the boots we like, if you want the style you'll most likely be stuck with the old school tech (good toe protector and thick leather).
will say I'm usually on board with your choices, this one just made me depressed, you'll only see these boots on hipsters trying to get into the cruiser "group"
Agreed, shit I'd rather buy another pair of my Corcorans than buy any of this poser bullshit (yeah, not even the Bates), for fucks sake they didn't even include some square toe harness boots, come on Revzilla, love your reviews and I do buy gear from you, but damn, son!
Recommend any good boots then?
Tomi Thorogood. Union made in America. Gotta watch those Redwings. Most of them are not American made.
