Bought some new motorcycle boots the other day and what a difference they make. I was using some old Dr. Martens as I had in my past cruiser days but did not think they was the best for sport biking. Bought some Timberland downshifters off ebay for a try. With them on I am able to ride faster in the twisties and my chicken strips are decreasing in size. I guess I can move around better with the timberlands than I could before. I think it is mostly the sole design as I can easily move my feet to where they need to be. Anyhow I was amazed at the difference a pair of boots could make. Kepp safe and keep grinning
