I got the Triumph riding boots and love them. They are not hiking boots how ever but I only wear them for riding any way. Cant stress the importance of a good pair of boots. The job they do is to provide support and keep your feet some what intact in a crash. A buddy of mine at work was in an accident on his bike last year and he was wearing tennis shoes. Shoes came flying off and he mangled his foot pretty bad. Unfortunatly half of his foot had to be amputated.
