    Hi Guys,

    Coming from a Sports bike background, I bought a second bike and taking delivery next weekend of a 2020 Triumph Bonneville T100. I’m looking for some recommendations please on some retro style boots, something that are comfortable, protect, look good and doesn’t scratch up any of the nice brushed aluminium casing on the bike.

    Many thanks in advance. :)

    Biggest question I guess... How much do you want to spend?

    Ankle boots or calf length?

    Thanks Big Sandy, they look nice but I'm looking for some black ones. Look like my local J&S accessories may have some of these so I'll check them out tomorrow.

    They look tidy @Schuey :)

    My problem always comes down to sizing, no manufacturer seems to make the same size the same way. I like flexible ankles or zips too, ankle injury years ago makes bending my foot round the ankle on most boots quite impossible. Lots of nice looking styles I simply can't wear. Makes buying online a bit of a lottery.

    Thanks mate! :)

    Yes, online ordering is a bit of a lottery, but I read peoples feedback as to sizes and it seemed iXS were pretty spot on with theirs and I'm pleased that the sizes 10's (44) I ordered fit me perfectly.

    Hopefully they're comfortable while riding, but they do look pretty cool with jeans even as casual wear, so it's a bonus. :cool:

    Roll on new bike day now.... :party::party:

    Although the OP landed on some boots, to add to this retro boot thread I offer these for consideration for others that may be browsing. Made very well and cool as hell!

    ...and yes I do have a 1979 Mad Max complex.
