Anyone have any specific recommendations for riding boots to go with full racing leathers? will be used for trackdays and rideouts.

Apparently the Puma boots are fantastic but for track days and me would have to be Alpine Stars or Sidi :)

Most important regardless of any of this is to match them to your feet and your leathers, do your leathers already have shin protection unlikely but possible. If your leathers are quite short get the highest boots with nice shin protection. If they are long you can go for a slightly shorter boot...

At then end of the day they have to fit, get in a shop and stick some on your feet.. and stick to the big names you know what your buying that way.

Mine are Oxtar TCS Evo RX they just fitted really well... but possibly old now :)

Alpinestars S-MX or Sidi Verterbra.

Crashed hard in the Sidis and not hurt my feet. Not crash tested the Alpinestars (touch wood) but know plenty of people who have (Nori Haga & Karl Muggeridge spring to mind) and they swear by them...

thanks all. How is the fit on the Alpinestars? The sidi's I tried recently came up quite big, giving me heel lift.

I've found alpinestars leather takes a while to break in but once it has they are really comfortable and super tough.
Sidi's are good but I found the fit a bit sloppy on my skinny feet.
Puma's look and feel awesome, I've just not been able to spare the cash for a pair (yet) :D
