Default Boots

Hey, I'm thinking of buying some boots over easter. These are what I'm thinking. http://www.newenough.com/gaerne_shoc...boots_page.htm
I was just wondering if the boots would tuck under blue-jeans?
I'm affraid I would feel like a tool walking around in public in them.

Thanks for the info!
Logan

The black ones would probably look alright with blue jeans but not the colored ones

You will look funny walking around in public in any race boots. They don't flex enough and aren't really made/designed to walk around in. I bought a set like shraz did and love them. Flexible and still provides more protection than normal boots.

Here's the ones I went with

Opps... I thought I wrote that in the post. They are Vega Nitro Matrix Boots. I never tried the Vega brand because their helmets look cheap to me. But... my local shop had these and I tried them on. With a sale price and a discount I walked away paying $50 total. I've put about 500 miles on them and they are great. You can walk around in them and not even notice them.

You can see a little of it in the picture on the toe area, but the inside area and toes of the boots are carbon fiber to shield from heat.

Here's a link I found to buy them online for $60 whatever shipping is.

They completely cover my ankles, they lace up and have a flap that covers the laces so there's no chance of snagging them. They're not stiff and rigid like race boots, but I wanted something that will give so I can wear them and walk around.
