I've been wanting a bit more protection for my feet, so I bought a pair of Sidi Fusions. I figured since they were entry level race boots, they'd have more than enough protection for regular street riding, but without all the extra stuff that would make them too stiff and uncomfortable.
I'm pretty happy with them for pleasure rides, but since their calves are angled forward (for the racer crouch) they're still a pain anytime you need to do more walking than just paddling around a gas station. Still not a ride to work/errand boot. Can anyone recommend a touring boot with good ankle/toe/shin protection? Thanks in advance.
Touring boots with toe sliders?

I think you want Oxtar (now known as TCX, so as not to offend Alpinstars) SS Performance Steet boots.

Re: Touring boots with toe sliders?
I have had my BMW touring boots for 7 years now, best money I ever spent. Brilliant piece of kit worth every penny.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
