Yea I decided to not go with the oxtars, they look like they don't provide much more protection than a pair of skater shoes. i think I'm going with the Alpinestars one-o-ones
They seem like they have decent protection without being a huge boot, I just cruise around on the weekends.. no track or anything so I don't really need any "power ranger" boots. I bought a pair of steel toed wolverines and tried to ride with them last week, those things were horrible to ride with.. I couldn't feel the shifter, kept accidentally upshifting, the soles were so rugged that I had a hard time getting comfortable placement on the foot peg, that was too much of a distraction for me to ride with personally.

sorry at work and can't ****** the pic. Good ankel protection and if you have to hike it because you ran out of gas they will take the pounding? I know there isn't any real reinforcents except for the top of the toes. Not a steel plate but a plastic impact plate. Won't chop the toes off that way.
