Now convince Jim Green for a bike boot. Halfway there with AR 8 already.

[@kurtinfl]

Would love a series for motorcycle boots. There are a few European brands that are making boots that are made with traditional/heritage construction (or at least some that look like they do) while incorporating motorcycle specific safety features. Rokker, Merlin, and Stylmartin are a few of the brands I'd be interested in alongside the big names.

[@kedaitayar9]

Yes please

[@norbert_engel]

Don’t forget the iconic Daytona boots. Also TCX and Held are solid and great value.

[@Chihweenie]

Also REV’IT! And Alpinestars 🎉

[@chr10s]

Would love to see you do more motorcycle boots! Definitely a unique market due to the safety features that you can't assure with other boot brands/types.

[@RirtyDascal]

Indie Ridge makes some great stuff. Edit: We definitely want to see them cut in half, so can't wait for that video. Lol hope that one isn't sponsored by ScentBird

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

I wish I had a band saw. I’ve been using a hacksaw and a razor blade since 2020. Side note: DO NOT USE A CUTAWAY SAW MEANT FOR METAL ON RUBBER IN A NON-VENTILATED WAREHOUSE.

[@blipco5]

I wasn’t sure of the size Indie Ridge boot I should order so I called the company. The OWNER picked up the phone! Long story short while on the phone … He asked me to measure my foot. Meanwhile I could hear him measuring his own boots and after a few minutes we came up with the proper size. WHAT OTHER COMPANY DOES THAT? Anyways, I ordered them. I couldn’t be happier with them. Will I order from them again? Oh hell yes. But unfortunately for Steve, it’s going to be a while because they look like they’ll last forever. 👍👍

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

I like talking to customers. First off I’m not a lawyer, my time’s not THAT valuable. Second, if I get the same question over and over it means I need to do a better job explaining something on the site. But probably most importantly, you support the company. Which means you help pay for my colleague’s rents, mortgages, kids, etc. Of course I’m gonna wanna talk to you.

[@LeroyHeeneyWine]

I'd love to see TCX Boots cut up.

[@jimbowden4616]

Yes on more motorcycle boot videos cause it would be great seeing your type/quality of show on this type of boot/shoe.

[@HansShellehamer]

Motorcycle boots! Yes! Love watching your videos, and they got me into Lems shoes. I’ve been looking for a more wide toebox motorcycle shoe/boot and really thinking about giving these a try. Thanks

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

I built a custom last suited for more of an “American” fit once broken in. I like to wiggle my toes, and the slightly wider toe box def helps.

[@druth128]

A cut in half video of offroad or motocross boots would be cool!

[@TheRaed09]

Jez I thought these were 975.00 boots. I thought you out of your mind, looks like there about 200 bucks and that seems to be a good deal for ny good boot. Gotta cut them up and see what's its all about.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

lol I do have a $1400 boot on the site. But that wasn’t fault. Pro tip: Don’t collaborate with gallery artists.

[@RoseAnvil2]

[@schreckles]

I like the style on those better than the newer revision of the TCX Street riding shoes I've been wearing for 5 or so years. Definitely interested to see them tested in moto use and cut in half.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

I’ve cut so many of my boots in half it’s ridiculous. Weston actually cut a Version 2.0 in half for me in 2020ish just to give me feedback. The red inner heal counter is a nod to Rose Anvil.

[@nunuabiznus]

Id love a motorcycle boot series!

[@pmdinaz]

For the heat here in AZ, I'd be curious about actual airflow with the perforated boot. Time to start saving and give em a try. Thanks for bringing them to my attention!

[@Crosmyn]

My experience with their perforated boot this summer has been very positive.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

I got to try them for the first time in Tampa this year on Shadetree’s FXR death mobile, and even with the humidity I was very pleasantly surprised.

[@bigwillcast]

I have a pair of these. I absolutely love them.

[@RainyRider1970]

Nice. I work for the company for free because I love what they do and believe in what they're doing and how they do it. It's the best gear company on the market and they're only getting better

[@darktimbercustomknives6248]

Looking at these boots was actually my gateway into looking at Pacific Northwest boots, which ended up being my motorcycle boots

[@northeastpsychos]

I’d love to see a video taking a bunch of popular motorcycle boots and cut them in half. I’m super curious what differences we’ll find in the sole and toe box and heel, compared to normal boots. I’ve wondered how much extra safety material is truly in these beyond just extra reinforcement so they hold up a little better to abuse. Would love to see some TCX, Forma and Rokker boots (especially the urban ranger which is modeled after the iron ranger).

[@jasonmatich7463]

Love what you do! I’d really like to see these compared “cut in half” to the Dainese Metropolis motorcycle shoes that I have now. Maybe I’ll need to upgrade to the Indie Ridge if they truly are superior. I’ll leave it up to you to prove it.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

I haven’t tried those, they look cool. On Revzilla they say CE 2 certified, but there’s four different tests for EN 13634:2017 plus optional tests. One of those tests is height. That shoe is a level 1, simply because it’s not shin high. Definitely not trying to knock Dainese and they are rad, but it’s odd they called it CE 2, when they scored a Level 1 on at least one of the tests.

[@jessejames5147]

This is cool! I've been trying to look at resoleable CE certified moto boots that look and feel good on and off the bike!! Would love to hear you post more about such a niche and what makes a moto boot brand good or bad

[@robertbelote5273]

I appreciate the Moto contents. The best shoes I've personally found so far are the Fulton by reax , they are 150 everywhere , good moto bits in the right places. Would like to see those cut up.

[@norbert_engel]

Yes to motorcycle boots! Good moto gear reviewers are far and few between on KZbin.

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

Was actually gonna ask if the Jim Greene boots could be used for riding motorcycles. Guess I’ll be checking them out.

[@Jelle987]

Alpinestars Toucan please, should be about maximum possible protection.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

They’re not Toucan’s, but we scored a Level 2 in abrasion, puncture resistance, and transverse rigidity. We got a level 1 on height, because you need to be shin high to get a 2. Definitely not knocking AS, but you’d be hard pressed to find Level 2 protection in an ankle high boot. Just food for thought.

[@norbert_engel]

Daytona, TCX, Held and some others mentioned in the comments like Alpinestars, Rokker, Stylemartin.

[@duelingpikachu]

please make a motorcycles series

[@songiang536]

Please do more motorcycle boots and sneakers

[@firestarter8202]

Are the souls stitched onto the uppers? No? Oh well…..😳

[@WilliamBrothers-dt6gz]

Wheelie on a HD big twin, that’s insane!

[@bobabo]

Cool-looking boots! I don't motorcycle, but I'd be really interested in seeing these cut in half.

[@stevennash4168]

Roland Sands Design have a collab boot with White’s.

[@TylerO_O.]

I'm big into knives. CHheck out the Demko 20,5!

[@Idlehandzx2]

Now they need an American made one and I’m in

[@TheEagle12901]

Tried a pair of Indies. Curious on the cut video. In hand the materials feel fair for the price. Toebox was too tight so I had to send them back. My go to is tcx ikasu's.

[@thekeystonekid8687]

You should cut some Alpinestar SMX 6 boots, they're one of the most popular models of riding boots. They're generally for more sporty riding and not really boots you would wear much off the bike though.

[@dannyferguson9415]

Aerostich Combat Turing Boot.

[@impoppa9647]

Whats with Indie Ridge and sizing?? Do they think everyone that rides has massive feet? Smallest size on their website for men is 8.5 which is equal to a EU size 42. A couple years ago they claimed they would be producing smaller sizes, but still nothing in a EU40

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

Press moulds are expensive. But you’re right, I should add an 8 now that I have 15.

[@Keno11245]

@roseanvil2 will you review the Bass pro shops red head series? specifically the chukka 61. i have owned a few pairs and really like them. but the soles wear out. i would love to see a review of them. thank you

[@callumsmith338]

As an Australian I was surprised to see an Alpha Wolf shirt

[@CorocCZ]

When I go on their webpage (from Europe) I see boots for 4660 USD and gloves for 1000. It has probably recalculated prices into my local currency but kept the $ sign.

[@Grabehn42]

Maan, a couple years ago I saw these Harley Davidson sneakers at a store and they looked a lot like the Crossfield, really liked how those looked but never managed to get a pair in my size.

[@Taidahunter2]

Looking forward to the motorcycle boot video. Just out of curiosity, is it just a look into what makes a motorcycle boot a motorcycle boot? Or will it be about most durable, most comfortable, or motorcycle boots that you could wear to the office, or to the construction site... etc.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

In Europe they have a specific test strictly for motorcycle boots. They measure 1. Height 2. Puncture Resistance 3. Abrasion and 4. Transverse Rigidity (in my opinion the most important). There’s optional tests too like waterproofing, etc. A level 1 is a standard pass, Level 2 is a “Superior Pass”. Because we don’t require any specific testing for “motorcycle boot” I sent them to Italy for testing. We scored 1 2 2 2 + WR (resistance to water). So in Europe yes, they have to be certified to be a “motorcycle boot”. We don’t have an American equivalent though.

[@humorlessclown]

Which one adds the most reach to the ground from the seat? Asking for a short rider 😂

[@kansheee]

That knife is almost a straight up copy of KM2000 BW😅 The boots look sick but why does it have such a small toebox😢

[@TheDacane]

These really need to be cut. The material and quality externally seems really good, unfortunately the site doesnt say much about protection beyond CE ratings. The leather looks better than what i find from motorcycle brands but need to know what protective elements/tech are in them. Basically they look good but im curious if the real protective elements are up to par with TCX riding shoes which are kinda the gold standard for riding shoes.

[@johnieblaze4079]

CUT IN 1/2 !

[@user-rv4ob4tg9x]

Which Scentbird is the most regular manly scent?

[@ChavsADV]

After lots of riding I’ve determined you cannot have a safe boot that you can wear off the bike. If you are truly wearing boots to keep you safe you need to carry spare shoes for when you get to your destination if you plan on doing a lot of walking.

[@TheWibbo]

i have worn Alt- Berg clubman motorcycle boots for a decade or so, not the most comfortable to walk around in but do able. Handmade in england ...supposedly, be cool if you could bifurcate one of those.

[@strengthandbulkMadness]

Helston’s motorcycle shoes l🏍️

[@BBhatt-pi5ob]

I wear Helston's Traveler boots which look good even off of the bike.

[@paulh6101]

Why do u need to ask permission to cut the boots? Buy a pair and cut it. Its literally why you have become popular.

[@BBhatt-pi5ob]

Try Goldtop boots or Gasolina boots

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

They are too short. They look cool, but you'll burn your shins.

[@saucyg6371]

Compare these to Thursday’s motorcycle boots

[@Imdor]

Something must be fucked up on their website, boots say 1380 dollars, and gloves at 602 dollars, I'm confused. Edit: Never mind, it apparently converts to my local currency, but keeps the dollar sign...

[@ckra2001]

Wow three ads in one video.. First the boots, then this scent stuff then knife....

[@JaysonBucy]

I have 3 problems with Indie Ridge, they're ugly as crap (subjective), they don't have speed hooks so they're harder to put on if you have limited mobility, they don't make wide sizes (which is crazy because if you look at companies that offer wide selections they are always sold out).

[@starkparker16]

✂️🔪

[@dbmail545]

Not much bang for the buck. The protection afforded by these is hardly better than a pair of hi-top sneakers for $1000? Caught between a bike and the hard road? These won't cut it.

[@kileyqueen185]

They're much more protective than a sneaker and they cost $180.

[@saucyg6371]

Watch the vid, they’re not $1k

[@sotohc96]

Clowns like you comment without even watching the video and it's obvious.

[@blipco5]

No. That’s the cost of ALL those boots there. They are very protective short boots. A high top sneaker isn’t even close.

[@Imdor]

@@kileyqueen185 Where do you guys see those prices, their website lists them as 1380 dollars.

[@rayraap3905]

Expensive ugly, high top sneakers, that wannabe boots.
