Riding for the sheer joy of it is a luxury that should be indulged in whenever you have the time. I don't have a lot of time, so I ride to work, to the bank, or anywhere else I need to go. Getting off of the bike and doing chores requires riding boots that are comfortable enough to walk around in all day.
Some companies boast riding gear that is protective and comfortable, but you're always compromising durability when you add flexibility. I am not so frightened of low-siding that I wear immobilizing, molded plastic up to my eyeballs, but there's also no way I'm going out in a pair of sandals.
Diadora makes a short, motorcycle boot that combines elements of safety with comfort. The Express boot has full-grain leather and Keprotec reflex panels which allow for greater movement, moisture permeability, and airflow. For long rides, the Express has toe shifter pads to protect your toes and arches from shifting fatigue.
Injection-molded plastic ankle guards and reinforced toe and heel regions are designed to protect your feet from impact or abrasion. For the rain, these boots have no-slick soles and are waterproof, but this won't do you much good without the proper rain gear. Some riders have discovered their rain pants dont cover the tops of short boots when in the riding position. Short boots require long pants.
Diadora Express boots are reminiscent of the 1980s with velcro panels over zippers. Some riders might not like a look that reminds them of childhood shoe tying woes or Mad Max trappings, but these boots make me smile.
