Hey everyone,
I'm both new to forum, and motorcycling. I take my Motorcycle Safety Course the last weekend of September and will start seriously hunting for a good starter bike at that time....just in time for winter!

On to my issue though. I wear a size 15 in both shoes and boots. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any brands that make motorcycle boots/shoes in that size. I've been able to find 14's, but that's as high as I've seen them. Stores usually don't carry my size, so I'm very used/comfortable with ordering online. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Thanks!

If you already have a pair of work boots or hiking boots that covers the ankle, go with them...

I don't currently. I'll probably just end up getting some work or hiking boots, but was curious if anyone knew of any true cycling boots/shoes that come in larger sizes.

These guys advertise some motorcycle boots up to size 15

Depends what kind of motorcycle boots you want. Try googling "motorcyle boots" size 15

You might have to hunt around a bit but there seems to be a number of companies out there that produce motorcycle boots in your size.

Personally I've got size 14 feet, but just use my work boots. Steel toe, steel shank. I know the shank saved my foot one time, foot got caught as I went to take a right, went under the pipes, lifted the entire bike off of the ground, bent the steel shank a little bit but my foot was ok!
So yeah, I recommend leather work boots, but I'm sure bike specific boots are nicer when you're scraping toe with them!
