Always wear good protective boots when riding. You don't pick when you're going to hit the pavement. Oxtars TCS Evo's and Alpinestars Supertechs are both great choices. Here's a pair of Oxtars I did the big slide in. If I'd been wearing tennis shoes, I would have lost a couple toes.

Oxtar TCS Evo feel solid but I wouldn't wear them unless I was going to be on the bike and that's it.

Alpinestars SMX-4 on the weekend

I just ordered a pair of SMX's. I was looking at others, but I have a wide foot, (11's and Double D, sometimes E depending) and these boots were adverted as being good for wide feet and entry evel race or track day boots. Should have them in 3-5 business days.

Damn...looks like we have discovered Imelda Marcos's Sportbike boot closet.

Seriously, those Alpines in the big pic look nice.

Yes, those are pretty cool boots. I bought those in Engand.
Alpinestars never brought the "Nicky Hayden" replica boots over to the States.
Check out the intro video from the media day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for next years MotoGP race at Indy.

This pair of boots got a bit of a cameo appearance.

Didn't catch the boots in the vid, but Indy and Laguna in Moto GP. Awesomeness.

I just bought a set of Joe Rocket meteor boots. Pretty comfy so far.

I might pick up a set of the SMX-4s. They look pretty sweet. Are they pretty comfy?
