Rock boots are safer than sneakers, flipflops, and pink fuzzy slippers. But that's like wearing a baseball cap for a helmet.
I suggest that you choose safety over fashion when riding.
As with any footwear made for a specific purpose, motorcycle boots (or high-ankle steel-toed workboots) are the best footwear for motorcycle riding.
Ride safe!

Any style leather boots would be better protection than sneakers and sandals that I see alot of riders wearing. A good quality riding boots will protect your shins from rocks flying up from the vehicles in front of you. They are usually padded in the front. Since they are specifically made for motorcycles they will also be padded at the top where the shifter is to protect they boot from excessive wear and tear. You won't go wrong with buying the right pair of boots for the right activity, you will find the will out last other boots and also keep your feet warm and dry when it is raining. Nothing is more miserable than riding while wet and cold!

recover from it! they won't enable you're taking the direction till you're donning some form of boot. you're required to positioned on boots on your very own secure practices. especially the boots are required to guard your ankle interior the form which you place your foot down(which you in no way might desire to) or drop the bike on your leg. Now in case you do no longer in basic terms like the previous vogue biker variety boots do no longer positioned on them, and flow purchase some artwork boots that cover the ankle. the better up the boots flow the extra ideal. in case you do unlike artwork boots and have some disposable money, flow to a bike broker and inspect the boots they sell. Many sellers have a great decision of running shoes and different secure practices kit. A understand warning in spite of the indisputable fact that. in case you flow on your bike secure practices classification instructor sees you in some sporty finding bike boots that are meant for using, they are going to single you out to coach the class as an occasion of ideal foot positioned on. good success including your classification and journey secure

You can wear them but I wouldn't think you would have much upper protection. If a rock hits the top of your foot, its going to hurt. I've had rocks hit my feet at 70 and it still hurt for a day.
No knowing the style, I would think the ankle proctection would be limited as well.
I've seen people wear flip-flops and tennis shoes on a bike, not very smart but its their feet.

you can wear what you want, but I suggest boots with no strings to get caught in spokes or chain
