Puma motorcycle footwear is growing in popularity in the moto-world as aggressively as its namesake hunts its prey. The company has taken its understanding of the foot and translated that knowledge into the demanding realm of protective motorcycling wear.
The Puma 1000 v2 Boots are a serious race-oriented boot. The technology is impressive. The aspect I like the most is what Puma calls the "Ghost Doctor" protection system that kicks in at medically defined "angles of no return". Simply put, the boot flexes and moves freely and naturally until that point at which an injury will take place. At that point, it limits movement. There is also a compact cushioning system that reduces impact in a crash.
Fit and security are also enhanced with a multi-directional fit system that cradles the foot. It has foam inserts at critical comfort areas. The fit is tight but comfortable. Most riders report that the boot fits small, so this should be considered when ordering.
Is this a walk-around touring boot? No. It is a comfortable, serious sport boot… there is a difference. However, after break-in, the Puma 1000 v2 Boots should be passably comfortable for general use. The boots come in three color combinations: black/black, black/red, and black/yellow. The boot is Euro sized from 38-46.

[...] The Thor 50/50 Boots may not actually be able to knock a Greek God senseless, but are mystical in the sense that they weigh just as much as a dozen extra large eggs. That's only 27 ounces for those of us who didn't grow up on the farm. Though they're light in the weight department, the 50/50 Boots are still pretty tough. They use a lightweight injection-molded outsole with a specific aggressive lug pattern to increase durability. They have a reinforced medial area with extra padding against the frame of the boot for added comfort, too. They're available in Black, Brown, and White and each contain adjustable "positive-lock" aluminum buckles. At less than half the weight of normal riding boots, these guys would work really well for anyone who has any leg or hip problems. They fit over the ankle fine, but are lacking in calf protection. If you want some taller boots, look at these armored Puma boots. [...]
