you know what I love about your videos You take a category And you just present a few option And every options has a point it's not just about reviewing just because It's simple and you really help more novice riders to know what to look for

This is far and away the best motorcycle gear review channel I've found yet. Keep up the great work!

as a newer rider i was surprised to find the tcx x blend in your review, and pretty pleased to hear you say what you did about it, that makes me feel more confident about my choice on my cruiser. Keep up the informative vids.

Thanks Ryan, awesome job. So nice to see this in Canada. I can't wait till your travel series makes it all the way out to Vancouver Island!

your videos are quickly becoming my favorites to watch

I have bought X-street and I'm super satisfied :)

I'm a X-Blend everyday user and I love them to bits, couldn't be happier with them.

I love your set up, it's fantastic.

Good stuff man, been watching a few of your vids & great reviews. Keep up the good work

Hi RyanF9, Thank you for the video. Great review, and a good insight into the boots. Keep up the good work :)

"It's theoretically possible that a shoestring could catch somewhere on my motorcycle so when I get to the next stoplight and go to put a foot down I tumble over. That would be a very lame and public crash but alas, it probably not a dangerous one". Yes, this happened to me early in motorcycling life. It is the reason why all my motorcycle boots now use zippers and no laces. Yes, they look like "biker boots" but alas, there is a reason that style got that moniker. Another thing I learned that year: gauntlet gloves prevent angry hornets from getting trapped under your watch...;)

Really nice watches you have there sir! Also awesome video

just found your channel and im glad i did!!

I just owned the dxr sportshoes 4.0 and I'm definitely surprised how good they are for 70€. They have a great protection, are durable, are comfortable and they look great.

Been rocking the TCX for 4 months. Great shoe, no one thinks its a motorcycle boot. All weather riding here and not yet dissapointed.

Excellent as always Ryan. Thanx for your efforts.

I'm buying the xstreet this friday, thank God they have it in Malaysia!

Love ur channel !!

just found this channel, you earned yourself a sub m8

buddy i must say u just make so useful videos. i am from india and I am a big fan of ur videos...thnx for such videos....proud of being ur subscriber

AXO Trigger.. I highly recommend

Thanks for the reviews

I have a set of the earlier model tcx street. Worn nearly every day for five years. Just thinking to replace them now. I tour with them as it saves me space. Never leaked. Highly recommended.

Love the SMX2 BOOTS

I have the tcx Street and I can't really fault them at all and you can have the joy of rocking your left foot back and forth because of the shifting soul shape

Hi greate videos, I just watched lot of your product reviews. I'm just having some trouble understanding you, when you say products names. So I would like to see, writen name and brand of what you are reviewing, it will make it easier to find 😀 Keep up the greate work.

;) right back at ya mate :D, watched a couple of your vids and i love them, subbed :)

Good Quality review!

I have the Alpinestars SMX1. I wear them every day since I commute on my bike, honestly I don't see why one would care to look like they didn't ride to their destination. I'll gladly wear all my gear wherever I go. I have regular shoes since they're easier to drive in (wider sole for heel-toe, better left/right movement) but when it comes to riding, it's important to remember that footwear is purpose-built. I only wear my boots if I'm riding but I only wear sneakers when driving. Toe sliders always come in handy, though. Will never own boots without them

I wear an Alpinestars SMX-Plus for knee dragging and a Dainese street runner for commutes and everything else. The Alpinestars gets me funny looks (they think I'm a storm trooper with my white raceing suit) while the Daineses get me compliments (before the soles turned yellow)

I wear the X-Street with Kevlar Jeans. Some of the group of riders though I was riding in Converse. lol X-Street are very good quality Nice and ridged and look just like my Vans. I use them on my Cruiser and Sport bike.

I love this guy!!!!

Thanks for the great vid, question, how does a lace up boot get to be waterproof, as you stated for the last set of boots you featured?

Great video as usual but let's be honest, most riding shoes are tidy and are better than any standard boot or shoes. I had my first accident recently on a little work bike, a honda cbf125 and I'm so glad I had on motorbike short boots. I was coming off a big roundabout a short distance from work late at night as I was going home and I hadn't noticed the temperature had plummeted a lot, I came around a bend off the roundabout with not that much lean on and the bike started to slide underneath me, now naturally from riding mountain bikes so much IO stuck my leg out to save myself and the bike, but my foot got caught underneath the left side peg and pretty much all the weight of the bike came down on top of my ankle, it felt like my foot was being squashed and twisted off at the same time. At the hospital, they told me it was fractured, now while that's awful and I hate being on crutches, I couldn't help but think my foot might not be there if it wasn't for those boots so very grateful, there's barely a mark on them, just a scuff on the outside where it was sort of sandwiched in between the bike and the tarmac.

I wear Joe Rocket Speed master 3.0's they have titanium pucks in places where I would skid if I fell they are mid shin hight and they are awesome.

I wear Ariat paddock boots made for riding horses. I wear them comfortably all day walking, riding and Friday night dancing for hours. But I already had them for English riding, just as I wear my English riding leather chaps.

Hi Ryan! I'm just getting into motorcycles now (I take my MSF July 4th and 5th) and I would love to see an updated version of this! Right now I'm in the process of buying a pair of SMX V2 Plus but the problem is I have 4E wide feet (not sure if the sizing is different in Canada but I have wide fucking feet) so if you make an updated version I would love for you to include options for people with wide feet! Great content, keep it up! Loved your most recent video

Got a pair of Alpinestars Fastback WP which, in my experience, suits all needed purposes nicely (though maybe not longer hikes in warm weather), but look a little more sporty :)

is there an update for 2019 on the way? maybe just make it an all top 10 footwear from your opinion.

I rock fly m16 and they are nice. Covert and good.

FortNine makes the best reviews. Precise, short & absolutely informative without bloatware. He deserves more views. Good going son. Keep up the excellent work. (y)

Alpinestars J6 shoes all the way ! :D

I've had the TCX X -Street for 3 years now. Ive been wearing them as regular very day street shoes. I never had sore feet, even after a 15km around town. On the bike, they feel great and keep my feet dry in the rain. My only complaint is the insoles. They kept sliding up my feet. I replaced them with custom mouldable insole.

I wear a pair of standard combat boots and have for 48 years. 68Triumph Datona, 92Harley Sportster, 92BMW K750, 92Original Honda Africa Twin. I've got em all. In my mis spent youth I had a 67 Vincent., 1970 matchless, AJS Stromer 250, 73 Can Am 175.

Xstreet everyday, tcx is a grat company . I had these shoes for 2 years, every time i take the bike. sturdy, waterproof, reaaaaaally comfy and i can't tell the difference with regular shoes for walking

Bit late on this video, what do you think about probiker shoes?

I really recommend the Alpinestars J6.

Digging the videos

The TCX X-Street seem to be pretty popular... should I get the regular or the WP? What's the breathe-ability of the WP?

Dear Ryan, Can you make a test of NENKI Helmets NK-310?

i have those Astars smx 2, they are comfy but when riding everyone can see my socks since the ankle backs are so low. So if i wear them with a tighter track pant they look weird, they go better wuth a mire baggy pant.

which shoe will be the most comfortable for walking long distance? i am looking for something that i can use as both bike shoe and everyday shoe. thanks

How about an updated version of this for 2022?

Sidi Vortice is the best !

I have A star smx-1, not part of your review. great shoe overall and cool. cool as in temperature. as long as your moving and it makes for a great summer time shoe. great reviews. maybe you could do a summer gear video. great work!

i have an older version of the tcx x-street (blue and grey version). that one's sizing was way off. i'm normally a 11.5-12 in typical shoes, bought a 11 in those and its still a full size too large. hopefully they fixed it by now, but the thing is great so far. nobody knows its a riding show and i frequently shock people when i tell them (and show them) it has some armoring in it. nobody has any idea its a motorcycle shoe. my biggest complaint is walking. if you plan on doing more than an hour of walking, even my old non-waterproof version is hot, heavy, and bulky. and if you're like me and like low cut socks, the upper part of the shoe can start to dig into your leg after over an hour of walking around. great for short walks, not good at all for more than that

What if you used Five Ten Impact VXI shoes?

I have the Alpine Stars Tech 7 MX boots and as great as they are on the bike, horrible of the bike lol. Always gotta carry an extra pair in my backpack for daily commuting.

What about the Alpinestars Oscar line? I love my Monty purchase- most comfortable shoes I own off the bike.

best boots are cowboy boots that have steel shank and steel toe and a steel cap around were the shifter touche

on the alpine stars (1:41) whats the purpose of the big plastic looking things on the outside? I would assume its if you crash you dont lose/scrape/hit your toes?

Bought two pairs of TCX Street and love them. Even comfortable for extended walking, trade-shows, etc. One thing I don't love (and probably the only gripe) is that the TCX Street is more slippery when there is any kind of moisture on the road, especially mixed with a little bit of oil.

The boots wont freak out your co workers the prancing on the other hand might.. TCX is a little to tall and may cover up those Faaaabulous sox.

what about like vans or something like that look? just a commuter to work and high school

When do you plan on re-stocking the X-Blend? I've been waiting a couple months already..

hi Ryan awesome videos, i'm trying to avoid leather because i'm vegan there's any option with synthetic fabrics or faux leather? take care and thanks fro the videos.

I have the icons and, I'm not sure if I got a bad pair, but they are terrible. On mine the strap constantly comes unbuckled on both shoes and/or they loosen because Icon used a shitty design to allow for adjustment. The grip is horrible in the rain. My toes are constantly cold if I wear them in temps below 20c on a cloudy day or 16c on a sunny day.

you should check out the ultra comfy XPD X-Zero R by Spidi

I've always thought my smx 1s were perfect for a casual sport bike rider

Its really hard to find all this products in South East Asia

I use the Dririder Tributes daily

Nice socks. Hehe. You might have spread the videos out. How often are you going to update the best of videos?

What about the Alpinestars District?

My adidas busenitz does fine

I have the Alpine stars S-MX 2

Hey ryan, love your videos. what do you have to say about speed and strength?

Why are riding shoes essential? I genuinely don't know there purpose, can someone explain..? Riding shoes vs normal footwear

any in a size 15 us?

Does somebody know any more of this street style / simple boots? I hate walking arround showing everybody Im a rider, I always have to carry a huge fucking backpack just to fit all the changing cloaths and shoes

if your company mailed things to the US it would make you awesome....but you don't

i just slap on a pair of timberland boots and get used to riding in them already. ouh i miss out the top shoelace hole for ankle movement ;)

You have your inflection on speech down perfect. These boots might not work for anyone with a supersport

Alpinestars Faster 2 Waterproof FTW

On the Icons, whats the width on them?

how I can get shoes mailed to US?

First bike I ever owned my shoe laces caught on my shifter peg and I laid the bike over right at an intercection. I felt like such an idiot. That's when I started tucking my laces.

Could you do a review of mesh overpants?

tcx x sport is the vest

...... prancing around the office all day.... lol

What's wrong with the full height , more protective boots you've already got ? Chucking a pair of shoes in a rucksack is surely easier. . . . .

46!?! Are you 2.1m tall?

That William painter ad was the best thing I've ever seen

do a 2017 video

How about I wear my jordan 4 oreo, to me it's not really necessary.

how old is fortnine?

I'm only 11but when I was 6 I fell of my uncles ninja 250 and it really hurt

I have tcx x street. They're good but definitely not waterproof.

first pair seems like franckastain's shoes...

I really dont get buying shoes specific for motorcycles. There are plenty of stylish footwear options that also off for protection and look good on and off your bike.
