I'm seeking new or used sport/touring bike riding boots. Not necessarily like American motorcop boots, but a protective sidi or alpinestars boot, but knee height.Where can I buy knee high mens italian police boots? Im looking for a more sport/touring motorcycle boot.?
O.K. I ride a bike, and for many years all weather excluding fog. One of the best boots ive ever found are German fire department boots (Feuerwehr steifel) They are not however knee length they are a little longer than engineers boots so calf long. I ride now with a 6 year old pair they are still waterproof. I treated them once when new with mink oil, ive never had wetness problems since.
Good luck in your search for knee high boots though. For me, my opinion struggling in and out of such things would strongly discourage me from wearing them other than in extreme weather conditions that warranted them. Note also steel toecaps on a bike make your toes extremely cold (when relative conditions cold enough) So it may be a good point to exclude any boots you find with steel caps from your search German fire boots have toecaps but they are temperature resistant ie the caps are high melt plastic You should be able to find them easily enough by typing feuerwehr steifel into E bay Germany then you can translate the side to English using e bay settings
Since you mentioned Sidi or Alpinestar boots you have a idea of what you are looking for. I picked up some Sidi boots last Spring...one of the selling points was in the costumer reviews, "I wear them every time I get my motorbike out" I now do the same. My thought was if I spend that much on the boot why not go all out and spend $28 more for the ceramic guards. I've only slightly hit a toe once in recovering the bike from an error but shure was glad the ceramic tips where between me and the pavement . Dressed for the worst! One thing that took me by surprise is how much more the shifter pad gave my foot so much more feedback over anything else I've ever worn. I have worn them threw sheets of freezing rain down a mountain in fading evening light (got caught) I was so dripping wet I never noticed my wet feet!
And... Yes! I wear them every time I ride!Where can I buy knee high mens italian police boots? Im looking for a more sport/touring motorcycle boot.?

Or, come to think of it, your local horse-riding gear supplier. Those huys are into tall boots in a big way.
