Best touring boots 2024 (Top 3 picks)

[@Bams0n]

Wait a minute... you're actually going to wear and demo a boot for a review?!? Not just show it on some models' foot or ride around the block a few times. Goodness! What will other 'reviewers' think?! Thank you for actually reviewing products not just shilling.

not gonna lie I was about sold on the icons until then end there

[@Samoaba]

I for one loved that mustache and cigarette on 46.4 😂

[@BrennanLetkeman]

yeah, sad that the hottest 46 (so far?) had to die

[@michaelnishiguchi3176]

The things that drives me crazy is the unavailability of wide sizes in motorcycle boots.

[@joshmiles6]

Yeah same here. I may have to eventually bite the bullet and 500 on Daytona Road Stars

[@MrToolean]

Same here.

[@wobblysauce]

There are wides just not in brands most want to buy.

[@redeyedfreaks]

Some of the txc boots can work for wide feet. That's as close as I've found anyways

[@hendrikscheepers4144]

For me it's the unavailability of small sizes. I ride with hiking boots that I bought 5 years ago. Same problem with pants. The smallest I can find is about two sizes too big for me.

Have had the same Sidi Canyons for probably 15 + year's. Still 100% water proof. Can wear all day and they don't smell. Best boot I ever owned.

[@danielrobey1759]

I haven't had mine that long but I absolutely love mine!!

[@Harry_Gersack]

I have the 1st generation Sidi Adventure and they're just top. I use them for everything, Touring, Enduro/Adventure, Motocross. They're probably also close to 15 years old now

[@Seveneleven44]

I have had the Alpinestars air v2 GTX boots for two years now. I’ve worn them all season, rode in them in 12° F and 100°. I don’t have any negatives about them, they are perfect for the intended use. They don’t offer protection like a true sport or MX style boot, but there’s enough to keep your mind at ease. They’re easy on and off, they breathe enough if you wear the correct socks, they are comfortable to walk in and take the short hike that we all do when we find something cool to check out on a ride.

[@baronpampa1647]

HI! and where exactly did you ride in these boots in 12°F? 

[@blipco5]

Thanks for actually riding in those boots and for the honest review. Those were too dumb looking for me to buy anyways,

[@TheRealYorkshireman]

Daytona boots are the best. German quality and excellent value for money and they will repair and refurbish old ones. My pair are 25 years old and still good as new.

[@kuhndj67]

I have over 100k miles on my Daytona's (mixed tarmic/dirt road touring)... only damage is the shift pad lost the little strip outside the stitching in one part. I've thought about sending them in for a once over but they just don't need it yet.

[@NickElliottuk]

I commute in Daytonas. They are brilliant. I don't go off road with them though, so I don't know how they fare there.

[@herbertrusselbaum938]

Same here, best boots i've ever owned.

[@stevenkelby2169]

Mine made all my top end Sidi, Alpinestars, TCX etc feel like disposable toys. My daytona trans open gtx are barely broken in after 200'000+km in all conditions imaginable.

Amen worth every penny I recently made the switch and I will never look back Daytona for me

[@johnbagley5341]

Your candour and sense of humour are much appreciated.

[@rz52608]

The attention to both detail and humor is wonderful

[@SecondHalfofLife]

Forma terra evo lows are a good option for road touring if you have wide feet. Good protection, stiff sole, waterproof, warm (maybe too warm) and durable). Technically it's an ADV boot but I'd call it a touring boot in the Low version.

[@larrydillon4841]

The thing I really care about is if I can hike in them, or at least walk a good distance, once I get to my destination. I tend to favor my work boots for riding because the Alpinestars I have feel like ski boots when I try to walk in them.

[@adambeverley4682]

I've had a pair of Forma adventure's for a couple of years now, they're comfortable, waterproof so far and reasonably priced.

[@lachy1709]

9:40 you actually just described exactly what genuine leather is. Despite its name, genuine leather is actually the lowest grade of fabric that still contains leather fibres in the manufacturing process. You want full grain, split, nubuck, or even suede before so called genuine leather

Had the BOA system on my working boots for 3 years with 14k steps per day when working on the airport, i lost my steel noses and soles faster than that the BOA system failed. These are deff on my wishlist now!!

Take a look at "DAYTONA" Boots from Germany, on how to do it right.

[@rikpward]

There is only one boot, Daytona. Best made, most comfortable, will fix your boot after wear... it's the cheapest boot you'll buy long term

[@runningbird501]

No complaints about my alpinestars, had them for years now and they toured across Canada on my KLR just fine. The only downer about them is that they don't have a heal worth mentioning which makes time off the saddle less pleasant but plenty of room in the boxes for hiking boots and sandals. 👍

[@lcash365]

My Tech 7s are so comfortable, I just wear them every ride now. I just got back from a 7 hour ride through rocky mountain national park. No discomfort at all.

[@hankjones3527]

I love tall boots for the extra leg protection. A big shout out to my Forma Adventure boots which are also supremely comfortable.

[@heyspookyboogie644]

I bought the Klim GTX boots off your guys’ recommendation for a hiking / motorcycle boot and have surprisingly been loving them. And I normally hate basically every shoe/boot. Thanks!

[@mtbgypsy2669]

I’ve been riding this boot 2 seasons now. No complaints, been a great boot all around. Mostly street but definitely weather resistant if not proof as well. I was also riding danners before I bought them lolol

[@mydutch]

New boot goofin’

[@theCycleReport]

I love watching the various South-Park-Kenny-Esque deaths haha

[@NooBiker]

Been wearing the Alpinestars for a long time. Excellent boot.

[@Kevin-hp5fk]

I ride with the Icon Stormhawks in Vancouver as my daily boots. They've stayed waterproof for a year and about 20000km, very comfy to hike in, and they don't have the snagging issue you had. On the downside, they're not over the ankle so protection is more limited.

[@kalvindeane1]

I bought full height boots as a beginner due to F9 recommendations and will never try anything else. Ryan said you'll probably drop your first bike on yourself and he was right! Leatt 5.5 Flexlock were my first ever boots, I wear them for commuting and for long trips. Didn't feel a thing with r bike falling on my ankle, glad I bought them. Only done ~10k miles since I started last year but can't imagine riding without Enduro boots now

[@Wing-Rider.]

I purchased the Alpinestars this spring. At first they seemed very stiff and hampered with shifting on my GL1800. They loosened up after a week of riding and are now very comfortable. After a 17 day road trip in hot, wet, and cold weather, I love them.

[@abdulazizsaleh8650]

Could you please give me the exact name of it ..I wanna order it ..thanks

[@admiralbeez8143]

Goodness, I just realized it’s been months since I last saw a new Fortnine video. My favourite was Ryan’s old vs. new Honda and who got the better value. The music, film technique. Perfect.

[@S.e.t85]

I've always been a fan of the 'Sidi Courier'. I used them mostly for.. couriering back when I dodged traffic for a living.. and got 180,000miles from one pair and still have them. Although I've not had to buy them for 15ish years, so no idea if they've fallen victim to enshitification.

[@detansinn9882]

My last pair of Sidi's lasted nearly 20 years. I just bought a fresh pair and the build quality felt the same. For ADV stuff, I roll with Alpinestar Corozals. I like those boots and they've held up much better than some of the other Alpinestars that I have owned. Astars quality seems to vary wildly between products. It's really inconsistent and I suspect that they're just slapping their logo across a wide universe of contract manufactured stuff -- a likely side effect of their market growth.

[@S.e.t85]

@@detansinn9882 IIRC, the Alpinestars stuff made at x and y factories are good, but y and z factories aren't. But the issue is knowing which product lines are from which factories, especially if that product is made at them all

[@spatchist]

The alternative is the Gaerne Balance goretex trials boot - very similar to the Sidi , perhaps Sidi were trying (30years ago !) to reach the courier market - good luck with that . Did you ever try Derri boots ? Dunlop steel toe wellies ?

[@S.e.t85]

I knew a guy who wore dunlops, he'd been doing the job since before I was born.. he also stuffed scrunched up newspaper in his jacket to keep him warm in winter.. the man was a legend.. My kit was (I can't remember the exact models for most things).. Sidi Courier boots, RST leather trousers, Rukka textile jacket, RST leather gloves, snood, Arai Tour X helmet.. in the winter I really didn't change much.. I'd just put the winter liner in the jacket, gerbing heated torso and legs and Urbano Tucana bar muffs (bar muffs+heated grips+summer gloves=perfectly warm and agile fingers).. riding a R1100RT All the other guys just wore trainers and rode CB500s

[@lylemacdonald6672]

I've had such a good experience with a pair of Oxford street/touring boots over the last 7 years that I am hesitant to switch brands now that I am in the market. They fit me perfectly with no leg gap and were super comfortable from the get go.

[@ryancraig2795]

Alpinestars Web Goretex have served me well for over 20 years now (I'm on my second pair). They fit my feet well, and i don't notice the cuff being too large. And they're 100% waterproof. I do wish they were about an inch taller, though.

[@ryancraig2795]

Boot for is a highly personal thing, of course. For me, the relatively wide forefoot of the Web Gore Tex combines with a snug fit in the ankle and heel area that works really well for me. I tried a couple pairs of Sidi boots years ago and they didn't work for my feet at all. There's really no substitute for finding a place that stocks them and trying on different brands, models and sizes.

[@cpuuk]

Dang, you guys continue to be honest and entertaining.

[@BlackdogADV]

Been wearing the Klim Outlander GTX as a light ADV boot. Extremely happy with them. I can actually hike comfortably in them.

[@Staromil]

I commute around 15 miles daily and on a rainy or cold day I take the standard microfibre boot (option 1 in this video).. mine is Dainese, I had Alpinestars before. And it does not matter too much. A microfibre boot is what it is. Good when the weather is bad, affordable, durable and water is the only care it needs. On a hot day, it's too hot though so having a pair of lighter, breathable motorcycle shoes that I can also use as my regular shoes is my combo.

[@emmuiruri23]

Fortnine never misses. I was just literally searching boots all this past week.

[@tomarcher7520]

"We got that shit from a Fabreeze commercial" Ha! That for my first laugh of the day.

[@TheOnlyTrueYeti]

I am rocking Daytona boots and are very happy with them. These are my second pair and that is only because I was not aware that you can sent your boots back to be refurbished at a cost.

[@pero2727]

The TCX X-five is still the best walkable touring boot out there. The first set I bought lasted me 10 years of summers and winters and walking in snow before the rubber shift pad cracked. The second pair is going on 6 years. I hope they never stop making them. Cheap too.

[@DavidKD2050]

I have crappy old boots for short local rides in the summer. For everything else my Gaerne fastback enduro are unbeatable. Sure, not sport bike friendly, I ride a VStrom. Recently I have done 6 long 4.5 to 6 hours rides and for this they are perfect. Levels of protection that no road boot can come close to. Fabulous comfort, for me more comfortable than any other boot. Warm, I don’t find them hot in summer (perhaps because of the protection they offer. Very dry unless it’s a deluge, in which case you can’t get more wet than wet. Two days ago I was barrelling along the motorway and the car in front braked suddenly. Obviously I did too, not knowing why. A small car suspension spring sprang from under the car, I had discovered why. Fortunately I was just to the left of it. Had I hit it, or it jumped up and hit my foot or shins, I would have been okay. Had I been involved in a more serious accident the boots could take a huge beating on my behalf, far more than a road boot. If it is not obvious, I love wearing them. Yep, there’s a break-in and learning-adjustment period. Once you get through that the benefits of these boots are amazing.

[@jpow4893]

I've had that pair of Alpinestars since 2008. Still waterproof and work great. Just wear pants over them, which you need to do if you want to keep your feet dry anyway.

[@Frankstervic]

Thanks for such a no BS review! I had high hopes for these Alcan. I own a pair of Icon’s Tarmac boots. I bought them for street use and found them decently comfy, including the long rides in higher temperatures. But the “Tectuff” material is not that durable. It showed wear quite rapidly where the shift lever meets the boot. As for fitment, I had to go for one size up from what I normally wear to fit my foot width. I So that is something to keep in mind if you’re buying from an online vendor.

[@Syanticraven]

I have Icon Stormhawks and I genuinely love them.

[@tonybarton3746]

Luckily I live in Great Britain and for the last 8 years I’ve used the excellent Altberg Tourmaster 2 boots as used by the police , escort riders etc . Been riding bikes long distance for 53 years , don’t smoke 😂😂 really well made in good quality leather , proper toe bumper and deep treaded sole. The best bit they made my service boots while in the marines and last year had them resoled and new bumpers put on for decent price by Altberg .

Hey I live in India and the prices on good riding boots here are just hell to deal with. But I really dont want to compromise on the safety with my boots. So my brother is going for a visit to UK and I have asked him to get me good boots for riding. Since he doesnt understand a thing about gears, he has asked me tell the name of a website that can deliver the boots to him.

The very first motorcycle boots I ever bought (in 2004 I think) were Alpinestars... If htese are the new ones then they hardly changed over the years. I didnt us them that long since I started riding Harley but recently rediscovered them now that Ryan got me hooked on a T7. I dont complain about them. Nice boots for the money!

[@SGTvolcan]

I'll stick to my Forma's ($250). They've saved my ankles from a crash in July where my KLR landed on my legs in the middle of a 60 foot slide. Still good, just needed some aqua seal glue on the edges.

[@dirkmohrmann8960]

Alpinestars knows why the warranty for their Drystar membrane is only two years. Mine were no longer waterproof after about 3 years, and I didn't even use them that much. They are also a pretty soft and floppy boot that probably isn't overly protective in a crash. I wear Gaerne adventure boots now, or Sidi race boots when on the track

[@crjlife_9082]

I just bought some indie ridge ravens. Half the price of all of these and just as well made and comfortable. They have a style for everyone too. Plus their gloves are amazing.

[@bikingspider8876]

got a pair of Icon Stormhawk, no buckle cover, but very comfortable, waterproof, feels solid. decent price.

[@DuncanJimmy]

I have to admit my primary demand of motorcycle boots is that they be easy to put on and remove. Few things more frustrating than struggling to squeeze into a boot while wearing motorcycle gear and then grimacing while taking them off after a long ride. I switched to a more flexible pair with good padding and two zips to easily slip the foot in. Makes ALL the difference to one's mood and eagerness to ride.

[@mayorofnow]

I strongly prefer BOA. Most durable AND easiest to change in/out of. Excellent for touring places like Thailand where you have to take your shoes off frequently!

[@richardcovello5367]

The 2nd best motorcycle touring boots I've owned were the leather pointed toe "zip-back" Ashmans, with heel & top buckles (also known as "Mike Hailwood Signature" boots, because some pairs had a silver stencil of his signature on them). 1st pair was 19.95 at Firth's on the Danforth in Toronto. The best were a pair zip-back Sidis, ($50.00?) similar build to the Ashmans, but round toe, with a tan leather inner liner, and better quality build. I find the side zip boots more difficult to get on and off, but they were all that was available later on. The absolute worst are my current pair of Alpine Stars. They're hot, difficult to put on, the toe sliders are mounted too high and fell off while I was burning through the toes, and they have a metal forward angled heel that will slide on the pavement if you try to push a bike backwards while straddling it. I spent 20 minutes pinned under a bike when that happened. On top of all that, they quack like a duck when you walk in them!! Absolute crap!

[@TheRantyRider]

Daytona Roadstar GTX boots are the absolute dogs danglies of tourers. They have two zips and two velcro pads at the calf to adjust for a perfect fit. They are hard wearing, as waterproof as a ducks a-hole thanks to the GoreTex liner and last 6-8 years of 20 000 mile plus riding. In winter you need thicker or warmer socks as they don't have any thermal lining, but that means in summer they are cool. In the UK they are Police issue for a lot of forces which is a good sign that they are good. I've done some gentle off-roading in mine with rubbers [that's the cushon on the bike pegs rather than a contraceptive on my peg] on the footrests and the soles don't slip, even when wet. One eye will water at the price but you won't need to buy them very often, in fact they will see many UK riders averaging 4 000 miles a year buy a pair when they hit puberty and another at retirement.

[@andrewpeter6128]

Although likely not universally approved by the “proper” motorcycle community, I’ve fallen into using LaSportiva mountaineering/ice climbing boots. Breathable. Stiff sole. Great for walking. And crampon compatible.

Out of context, but that sick guitar riff at the Alpine intro is Bad Religion by Jake $ing. Took me some kinks with Audacity to find that one. Nice boots selection, still!

[@mattpecevich3749]

What a solid review and video. Great job!

[@riderramblings]

I really love the AplineStars with Gore-Tex. They are really waterproof (mine have never leaked, even when old, in torrential rain), fit me well, support my ankles and fit under my waterproof over- trousers (yeah, it rains quite a lot here). I have had at least 4 pairs of them over the last 15 years (over 141,000 miles / 227,000 km). The AlpineStars do have one drawback, which is the soles are extremely slippery in the wet until they have been broken-in (AplineStars *_need_* to address this and soon). A good long walk on a rough, worn tarmac surface works reasonably well but, take a lot of care putting you foot/feet down in the wet, even on a flat surface, until fully broken-in.

[@ilyafrey9038]

For those who search for good mot boots, go Daytona. I myself use their short boot vented version with titanium slider (which is mega cool). Feels as comfy as sneakers, got all protection you can imagine for off track, looks slick and grips to anything )other than runny surfaces) like its life is depending on it. Will go for GTX version next season, will be happy to pay every penny without even looking at other brands

[@brendanbre96]

Honesty is refreshing

[@Nimrodktm]

Idk, I've been using my Icon Stormhawks for over 2 years on trans European tours (so 95% road use), and they've been excellent. I was so happy with them that I got a second pair in a different color. I've heard some other negative comments about them, but I'm always like "yeah keep saying that, hopefully they won't sell and I can get them at a discount". So honestly I can only recommend Icons. If you're into heavy offroading, there's always the Tech 10s.

[@JStoppie]

I have similar alpine stars boots from 2016 if I’m not mistaken. You can fit them snugly with the Velcro. (I always wear them underneath my pants) After all these years they started leaking a bit. But overall I think they were a fine pair of touring/commuting boots.

[@ksim_]

After buying Gaerne fastback for ADV and my astars kind of dying, decided that my Gaerne is fine for long distance, they're done more than 30k miles by now, still look very good (except a few scratches from broken off gear lever and a few spots from touching tarmac in bends), sure walking more than 20 mins a pain, but I have trainers in the top box, so quickly change and can enjoy walks and coffee much more than any other mc boot. But riding wise they are super comfortable, never leaked, 40C is hot, but at that point I am hot everywhere. No more smelly than any other boot I've been riding. Main reason for the decision was protection, after those boots, any ADV/Sport boot, had no protection and still lacks on comfort to compromise. Next will be Gaerne Dakar.

I ride both classic Brit bikes and modern stuff, the shifter pads on both sides may good for me not having to have 2 pairs of boots or damaging a single pair...

The drystar v2 is soooo comfortable.

Didn't have time to watch the whole thing, but I ran out and got a pair of the Alcan's - thanks for the tip!

I'm really waiting for the new Himalayan 450 Review from RyanF9. I own the bike and its such a blast man. They really fixed all the problems of the older Himalayan. I hope they do it soon

Great video! I've got what looks to be Goretex Andes, can't remember the model name but they look identical. Properly comfortable and completely waterproof for the 3 years I've had them so far. I quite like the way the top fits as I generally only wear them in the winter, where I wear over trousers, which go over the top of them (work chinos underneath), in the summer when I'm wearing bike jeans I just wear different boots - that is an irritation, but a minor one.
