Anyone got any recommendations for brands or particular models? Won't be doing alot of walking in them, so I'm really too worried if they're uncomfortable in that respect.

Given your bike is a Suzuki perhaps these are more fitting?

check out the motomail outlet store in kingsland, they had some sidi boots there around the $330 price, normally about $450 but as its an outlet store now, they have some cheap end of line stuff, so if your lucky, they might have your size.

I've got a pair of Northland specials...John Bull kaka style with a ummmmm "bit" off the toe
I'd buy some proper riding boots if I could fit the buggers though. Problem being is that I've got wide feet and a high in-step.
Advice please people...

Stylmartins. I've had my Stradas for around four years now, and they're still good. They were comfy from the moment I bought them, they're waterproof, and they're not too hot in summer or too cold in winter. Even crash-tested them a couple of years ago (wrote of my bike when a car U-turned into me) and the ankle cups (both sides) and heel cup saved my ankle from injury.

If you don't get fully waterproof boots (eg motox boots) and intend to ride in the rain then get some overboots / gaters (I think motomail does them) really cheep and you will not get wet feet.

unlike Hondaware which is a little more "embracing"

Cheers for the info guys. Sounds like Gaerne or Oxstar are at the top of the list. Had a look at both of those in the shops but I didn't really know.

Skel, I'll have a look at yours if thats ok. Don't know if I'll be going to TRTNR the way the weathers going, but the newbie rides on Sunday if your going on that.

better than any slippers ive had

I got some SIDI (something-somethings), excellent boot, and comfy as hell on and off the bike, toe slides and ankle armour to boot!

Have a look at Stylmartin SBK2's. Waterproof, replaceable toe sliders, comfy and stylish. Retail's $359.00 inc, but we could discuss that.

I'll second Lou... but then I got them from him too.

On an AMPS sale day, I got them for about $280-290. And these are also actually waterproof, having had no leaks so far in several months (whenever the last sale day was) of constant use.

OK. My Oxtars were wet when I got home today, but thats OK cause I think New World sell a 'bag kit' for them so they will seem dry in the morning.

i use rebs i think....$160-ish from cash convertors. they look like cowboy boots and leak a little in really heavy rain. proir to that was steel toed grizzlies courtesy of my partner in canada. havent worn them since the crash though since i cant get my foot in the boot. they did save my foot though...both pairs come about halfway to my knee.
