I got the same, but larger Alpinestars Corozal, for the same purposes. Most on the road and occasionally off road on dirt, grass, gravel. Very comfortable and safe for those purposes. I once even forgot my normal shoes to work and had them on all day, it was actually nice to do so.
I have exactly these boots and have tested them. I was not injured when the bike fell on my foot, but I was riding alone and pinned under the bike. In the time it took to dig myself out, the exhaust pipe melted through the plastic heel of the boot, and I received an unpleasant burn. The boot performed reasonably well given the circumstances.
I agree with you Frank, my Forma Evo Low adventure boots are great for my riding style and better than sneakers and work boots. If I get ever get into something more off roady I would want an MX boot. Might need one after I get the dual sport worked on this weekend, parts are starting to arrive.
I had to sell my old KLR 8 moths after i bought it because my Tech 7 couldnt fit under the shifter. I wanted adv boots, but none in my size. I still hope to find an adv boot someday
A 600 dollar pair of boots is a heck of a lot cheaper than medical bills and lost time from work ……….if there comfortable to walk in there’s very little protection if any.they make plenty of light weight slim easy to pack shoes you can slip on to go for a 1.5 mile hike if you desire.this kind of rookie advice is why people get pins and rods in there feet and legs.
Hello, I try and stay protected. I do not ride with no moto boots. And when street riding, I wear Belize, which offer more protection than any of my street boots ever did. Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank

I have not seen those boots. They look like a lower top Alpinstars Corozal (what I wear and love).
I thought out the alpinestars toucan boots for the same thing and purpose as you. Addition to my tech 7s. What are you thoughts on the toucan?

I don’t know what size you wear but I wear an 11 and I had a klr 300 that was a fun little bike and never had a problem?
Size 16
