Ladies Boots

Hi everyone, I just bought a gixxer 600 and I'm lowering it 2 inches. I'm pretty short though so I was wondering if any of you have suggestions of which ladies boots have a pretty thick sole so I'll feel more comfortable being able to touch down more of the ground. Thanks so much!

I have the Icon "stealth" boots. they are for everyday riding. they feel weird at first but Im lost without them. Obviously boots are better but I also wear skechers, believe it or not they are awesome for riding. well if your a 5'2 girl they are anyways, they have big heals and they come in handy when the road is uneven and you have to stop.

I have to wear these: http://www.electriqueboutique.com/womens-shoes/Platform-Sneaker-/9835-WHT/BLK.html I know they are not riding shoes, but me being 5'1" I have to resort to wearing 2 inch thick soles. All riding boots I've seen so far have a very thin sole :headshake

All riding boots I've seen so far have a very thin sole :headshake good googa mooga those soles r big LOL I got my boots custom made. I bought a pair of SIDI race boots and had them add an inch of sole.. Any cobbler can do it.. or you can buy these fo like $400 Lady Star GTX http://www.helimot.com/catalog/boots/boots_ladystar_data.shtml http://www.helimot.com/catalog/boots/ladystar.jpg Lady Star GTX What's the biggest problem most women riders have? Right. Touching the ground. Well, if this is the case with you, you can gain ¾ inch, maybe more, just by wearing these boots. Yep. We measured Linda with a pair of these and she stood 5' 4 ¼ ". Then we measured her with her regular boots and she was 5' 3 ½ ". She's 5' 3" in bare feet. Short guys can wear these, too, if their feet are this small. Otherwise, take a look at the M-Stars. Same boot, larger sizes. Technical details: adjustable calf, reinforced shin and ankle, comfortable preformed innersole, Scotchlite heel reflector, oil and gas resistant sole. And one more thing. The Lady Star GTX is waterproof because of a Gore-Tex® lining. LadyStar, Black. Sizes 35-39. Price: $389.95*

thanks! lately i've just been riding the street in k-swiss's and i can tiptoe both feet at red lights. but once i save up a good chunk of change i'll invest in some nice boots so that maybe i'll be able to touch down a little more. how tall are you other ladies?

i'm 5'0 my bike is lowered 1 inch and my seat is shaved :thumbup:

WOW I grabbed a pair of mens black work boots from Kmart for like $20 .. Thick soles. Kinda weird at first , but they give you good footing ..

yeah, 400 is a bit way too much for me too. My leather jacket didnt cost that much :D See, my husband wants me to have a boot with a little heel just like on that pic, but I am not so sure. I want flat little thicker sole

do u recommend shaving the seat? i brought the idea up to my fiance and he said he thought it would be way too uncomfortable, but im not a complainer so i can handle it as long as its not like im sitting on straight metal.

Damn girl.. You should really look harder to find yourself some better protection for your feet. :eek: I know. I am looking, but all bike boots are a very thin sole shoes. I need the 2 extra inches so I can be flat footed. My bike is lowered 3 inches on the back and 1 inch on th efront. The only thing left to do for me is to shave the seat. I dont know how big of a difference that can make. I am also looking at regular non-riding boots.

Its done from underneath so you should be still fine :D

Do you guys wear the nice boots for everyday riding or for big things like canyons/track??

Do you guys wear the nice boots for everyday riding or for big things like canyons/track?? Well I wear my race boots for like mtn riding, track or just whenever I feel like riding it on the street and tuck them underneath my pants so you cant really tell you have them on. It is safer but most times if I go to a bike night or something I either have on regular sneakers or timberland boots. For everyday riding you should be fine with any kind of boot that covers your ankles that the most important part. :thumbup:

Suzukigirl.. where'd you get your boots ?

Also, you can easily add 1/2" to any boot or shoe with an orthopedic heel-only insert like these http://www.fitfeet.com/heel_lifts.phtml but there are others that will work fine too. You put them under the liner.

thanks for all the ideas! i finally got comfortable just resting on one foot at stops, so i guess i can work with normal heeled boots now. all i gotta do is save up some money and buy a super nice pair. :D
