I wear Sidi Vert II Carbon Air, they're insanely comfortable after wearing Alpinestars SMX for a year and a half. However, I was wearing the SMXs when I lowsided at 50+mph last year and not only did they protect my feet/ankles they were still totally useable afterwards.
I'll occaisionally wear Docs or Danners, especially when I'm putting around on my BMW, but I consider them a compromise.
And yeah, I can't wear the Danners on the Monster or 888 because they're too cluncky and I can't shift accurately.
I'd kinda like something less stormtrooper looking and I'm currently looking at the Sidi On-Road Sypatex
