I like those puma riding shoes, but I would get their sportbike boots myself.

Damn Ryan, you're getting close on your posts.[]

My ankles are hurting just looking at them. Boots are the only way to go, I would not have a foot right now if I were wearing those during my first crash.

Guess I would never have had a 2nd crash if I had been wearing them in the first but still would have 1 foot. I like the boots! SIDI

agreed, Doesnt seem to have enough ankle protection. The whole point of riding shoes is the protection not style, and if there isnt enough protection there is really no point.
