Bikers made motorcycle boots that are slicker than Nike Jordans

[Pterodactyl]

Finally someone has filled the void. This is a long overdue advancement in motorcycle safety.....

Not sure if I like the styling, but the lighting concept is neat.

I'd buy them... if I had $300 lying around.

Ugh. I suspected that's what was behind the link before I clicked. It's about the bling since no one will see those from a car looking from the side as you pass their headlights.

Heck, I don't even care for the bling of unlit designs.

Plain black, please.

Even then, that little triangle of retro reflectiveness has me wondering if they are stripper shoes.

I've always thought about the need for wireless auxiliary brake and signal lights.

I think boot level is too low.

My thoughts have always been about on the back of the helmet. (I guess I could get a pair and cut them up to do it.)

When they have this in the future, be sure to remember, I thought of it first...

Apparently you weren't first.

I first thought of it in 1974 tho...

You were pretty advanced then, I was thinking about milk in a bottle.

You were thinking about milk not in a bottle.

BTW, while I'm not sure about these boots, the position is just fine in traffic, IMO. Coming up behind a bicycle at night, those reflectors on the peddles show up great in your headlights, and this looks better than that. And every little bit helps.

Photos and the first sentence ("Traditional motorcycle boots make the wearer look like a one-percenter.") stopped me from reading further. You guys keep thinking this stuff up, OK? Some of it makes me chuckle, and that's always welcome!

I guess my white ventilated Alpinestars will prevent Bounce from ever riding with me.

These newfangled BlingBoots come in a size 16aaa ?

I didn't think so.

Hey. To each his own. I got nothing against metrosexuals.
