Are hunting-style boots not safe?

I bought these boots from motorcyclecloseouts.com for $130. I wear them for trackdays and performance riding. Outstanding protection for the $$

unfortunately most "motorcycle boots" offer almost no added protection. the better boots will have padding,hard plastic,steel or kevlar in the impact zones and the area the will get ground away during a crash.....especially if you get caught under the bike.

also some boot will have hinge type brace in the ankle to support the ankle during a crash......they will also have a lace-up or buckle system that is tyight around the ankle to suport it during a crash.....

i have basketball shoes that give more support and protection than most of the boots that people wear.....the biggest drawback to shoes is the laces bllowout on impact and the shoes can go flying off....

That's why Rossi wears Jordons.:rofl::rofl::rofl:
