After looking and looking......and looking some more for some good riding shoes that could pull double duty as all day wear / work shoes while not breaking the bank I came upon the Super Duty 5s.

These things are awesome!! The fit is perfect (in my case) I ordered a 11.5 as I typically wear an 11.5 in regular shoes (Nike and the like) and they fit like a glove. Very snug in a comfortable kind of way.

D30 armor made into the shoes, great ankle support and CE rated. This shoe is very rigid on the sole (won't twist so easily in the event of a crash) but at the same time I can wear them all day long and totally forget I am wearing a motorcycle shoe. They feel just like regular tennis/running shoes (or whatever other type of sneakers you prefer)

One thing to note: The soles have VERY shallow tread and are very hard which in my experience makes them have a little less grip if you happen to be stopping on fine gravels / road dirt etc. It hasn't been an issue for me at all but it is something to take into consideration. I honestly don't think it is really an issue but it may be a point of concern to some people.

I have only put about 600 miles on them so far so I can't attest to how long they will last, or how they hold up in a crash but if I was to put my opinion of them into two words : confidence inspiring.

I don't know how they will be in the summer but I have been riding in 30F weather and my feet don't get the least bit cold even with short ankle socks on.

With these shoes on I feel VERY protected and for the price ($125) I don't think you can even come remotely close to this much quality and protection without getting something to make you look like a power ranger.

I looked at 100's of options and unless something goes bad (doesn't seem likely) I will continue to buy and use these exclusively for all of my riding as long as I can get them.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have not ridden with them in the rain yet so I'm not sure about their water handling capabilities.

I was looking for a casual shoe similar to a Vans skate shoe, but these are much more like a work boot than the video review and photos led me to believe. The thick sole and chunky toe area made it hard to get my toes under the shifter on my sportsbike, but probably wouldn't be a problem for a cruiser. The quality is good for the price but the leather looks/feels more like rubber which would be very water resistant and hold up to abuse but doesn't look that great in my opinion. Fit is a little snug but they would probably break in after some use so I would say they are true to size. However, they are very firm and don't have much flex so walking around in them would still be a bit uncomfortable.

I really like these boots. I wore truants the last two years and this is a great change. They are lighter and honestly I feel like they offer better protection. If I need more protection I wear my sidis but these are great for cruising around town running errands or meeting up with friends.

This is a great shoe. I have super wide feet and these still fit great. Good quality super comfy I wear them to work and they don't hurt my feet all day. They are kinda hard to keep clean, however.

I bought these boots because the style was on par to what I was looking for. I bought them one size larger as stated, and they fit great. I have had them for 3 months now, and I can say they are comfortable and seemed somewhat durable. Now, unfortunately the boots are falling apart at the seems (literally). Where the laces loop in, is coming apart and the the right front of the boot is separating from the sole of the boot. For 125 dollars I expected better quality and craftsmanship. I ride a lot and have never been down. The boots are not durable at all. Especially only after 3 months. I do not recommend these to anyone.

Like the video says, boot seems to fit a bit smaller, so if you can I’d go 1/2 size up. It’s winter here so haven’t had a chance to use them on a ride, but they are comfortable to walk in, and A good boot at a good price.

Super comfortable. I can get away with it in the office. Looks great with jeans as well. Not clunky.

I bought about 2 weeks ago and I have to say, it is a real neat pair of boots. Though I can't speak much about the protection it offers as I haven't (luckily) have to test that out yet, but if you are looking for a pair of boots to ride and go to work, this might be the one for you.

If it is very cold out, it provides moderate protection, though if you are going on long trips, I wouldn't recommend it. I hope it doesn't get too hot in the summer.

Build wise, it looks sturdy, but I really don't know how good it is at surviving a fall.

Overall, I would definitely buy it as it's a great deal for the price.

Hope this helps.

Pros:

- design
- comfort
- good material, well finished

Cons:
- fit (need to get 1 size higher)
- Weight
- Ankle protection

Overall these boots are good, ankle protection seems to be ok but I expected a little more protection. The material is kind of soft, but maybe it is enough. Using everyday for about a week and like it so far.

These are replacing a pair of Super Duty 4s, and I was happy with those so I thought I'd give the 5s a try. Overall I am pleased, but two issues are worth mentioning before I get to the positive stuff. Believe them when they say order a 1/2 size up. My 4s were 8 1/2 and fit well. These are 9s and are a bit snug. Going up a full size would have been too much. They aren't uncomfortable, but are a little more snug than I would normally like. The other issue is that the rubberized leather can be a little too grippy on upshifts, making it somewhat difficult to get the boot out from under the shift peg. Not a huge problem, but worth a mention. On the positive side, they really are much more flexible than their predecessors and they look really nice. Walking in them is just like walking in a normal shoe. The materials are of good quality, and I particularly like the waxed laces that stay tied without resorting to a double knot.

I would recommend them.
