Hello! I am trying to make up my mind between the SRS and the TA. Had the bike stall on me and fall over(engine break really caught me off guard), but the bike fell on my foot and hurt me quite badly. The srs seems like the sole is harder like a really hard plastic and the TA sole looks more like a softer rubber. But the SRS to me looks like it could be very slippery on concrete imagine like an underground parking or something. What is your opinion of the TA and side protection with a blunt crushing force?
You made a good purchase. Last summer I broke the 5th metatarsal on my right foot on my old Victory Bagger. It was a freak situation not likely to be repeated, but it took over 3 months and a surgery to heal. I now have a BMW R1200GSA and have a heathy paranoia about avoiding a foot injury, so I am looking at the same boot or a Forma in the same category pretty much for all of my riding on the beemer. At 69 years old it pays not to take chances. I can always bring another pair of shoes if I need to walk any distances. Good Points!
Great question! For sure, the ADV provides more immediate feedback. The TA much less at first ... however, after a long ride, you manage to develop a feel ... after 3-4 rides it's not an issue at all. Hope this helps.

How’s shifter and rear brake pedal feel with the TA vs the Adv boot?
