Sneakers are for walking-not riding a motorcycle. In a crash they tend to fly off leaving your feet to be ground down like hamburger. But the Shift Kicker Street shoes provide the protection you need without looking like the Terminator.
They are very light for a riding boot and can be worn all day long without any discomfort. The speed laces and buckle mean minimal time is needed from lace up to ride out. Colors come in an understated black or a black/white pattern.
