Everything great.
I had with my Daytona so many falls and they are very much in use. Even with a heavy crash showed how good is my Daytona boots, because there where my boots were is nothing happened to my feet. I just feel comfortable and safe in my boots and the contact to Daytona is awesome. Keep it up.

Be warned! Try them on and you will buy ...
I had just about picked some boots when the salesman said "try these on before you buy those". "I can't afford that much" I said. "Just to compare them" he said." I'll take them!" I said. "I am Gary and I am an addict" (to Daytona boots). Be warned! Try them on and you will buy no matter how much over your budget!

Of my right foot would not be much left
It started in the early 60s with a Kreidler Foil with After all 3.6 hp, a 250 Maico Bundeswehr and initially ended early 70s with a 175 Kawa as "Off-milling machine."
In the mid-80s had my wife! the outstanding idea want to sit as pillion on a Honda Dax. The gap consisted of helmet, parka, jeans, and sneakers.
Well, for her it was fun and the transport in or on the motor home was not a problem. But I've seen almost nothing of Halkidiki and Elba, my attention was almost exclusively the huge potholes.
So, a scooter with larger wheels had to be! A 250cc Honda Dominator.
It was frustrating and miserable for two!
In January 1989, it was because there, a 650 Honda Dominator. A revelation! Now were needed new, not too expensive clothes.
It proved true the saying: cheap is too expensive! Jackets and pants were leaking at the seams and the boots were no longer dry. The Norwegian trip could be more beautiful.
No sooner were we at home, invested in higher clothing. But was not superior quality. Until 1998, it was still one more gear.
But then, in 1998 with the new Honda Transalp 600, there were also new Daytona boots. Tours in Trentino and dry feet are in the water of a mountain stream to the calf and build dams, or even go walking a few steps.
They are wonderfully comfortable, tight and you get no "Sweaty Feet". Still! However, the switching gain has gone away now.
What to do? The request for an orthopedic shoemaker (who can sew the most amazing shoes) revealed that it is very difficult that he would perforate the Goretex membrane if it were near and just a bond not last long. Moreover, he had not the right material that would have to be structured accordingly to ensure a pressure-free rolling of the foot. And now the surprise: A request to the repair department of Frey / Daytona was answered in less than a quarter of an hour, with an offer that I think about. 15 years young and boots can submit that for 44,95 -. € both switching gains are renewed.
More convenient, cheaper and safe motorcycle boots you can not buy well.

Daytona boots accompany me for 35 years.
The first pair I bought with 15 years ago, it accompanied me from May 1981 with my moped Zündapp KS 50 watercooled TT. Then I wore the black and red boots with zipper on the back about 15 years for machinery such as Yamaha SR 500, Yamaha FZR 600 and FZR 1000 Kawasaki ZXR 750 and 650 XLR. After countless kilometers without problems with the zippers or waterproofs, were then at some point no longer attractive. There follows a new pair of touring boots, that were worn riding with BMW 1000 GS and KTM 640 LC4. During the penultimate year I bought me again a few black Daytonas which accompany me while currently sporting tours with a Moto Morini 9 1/2.
Always a safe ride wishes

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, the most beautiful one is a curve.
I compared the 38-ton
I only drive with daytona boots since 1987. My first boots (Le Mans) held 17 years. With a slight collision (a 38-ton truck pushed me) I wanted to absorb the weight of my FZ 750 with my right foot. This went not, but I would not have had the brilliant boots, the ankle had been broken at least. Thanks to the boot I had only a mild sprain. So the brand daytona over again.

I can only put each to the heart
It should be the second major round with my SV 650 S. Well, more or less ... any case I wanted to turn with my new moped in a residential area on the hillside. Unfortunately, I've my moped tipped over during at the turning process. The clutch lever broke down and my foot has come under the bike. He remained safely thanks Daytona boots. Well, nothing happened and i come with a shock of it. I can warmly recommend to anyone: Invested when riding a motorcycle in good shoes - ankle high if possible.
Definitely worth the money
I have now for about 4 years daytona® motorcycle boot. At first I was skeptical because the price is nevertheless quite high. But I really have to say, they are definitely worth their money! Now I want no other motorcycle boots more than the from daytona®. They also look very stylish and are comfortable. An accident I had fortunately not yet, so I can not say anything about how much they protect *g* but I think so, because the material is just great! -
Ideal for drummers
I am a professional drummer and also a passionate motorcyclist. If my ankles anything happens, it was over with my musical vocation. I'm so glad that there are so a secure shoe, such as the Security Evo G3! When I imagine myself with what I am driven....
There is no alternative.
Security to feel comfortable. The first boots in the 80's were of Daytona. Then, two mistakes. Now back: Daytona. -
Fits perfectly.
By chance, I tested my first Daytona boots on a motorcycle trade show ... and immediately bought it. They fit just perfectly. BG Michael, Germany
Clear recommendation: Daytona
I come to your shoes on a recommendation because I scolded again on my motorcycle boots. My wife will also get a pair and we had, to date, no better boots. Even hours of walking through flea markets is not a problem. In my previous boots I felt after some time feet hurt, so much, so that another run was a real ordeal.
The result: Everyone asks me about the motorcycle boot gets a clear recommendation for Daytona.
Greetings

Your perfect partner for all (sloping-) layer!
Absolute comfort climate with perfect workmanship, sneaker feeling with maximum safety fittings, thanks to Gore Tex grown any weather and even at the 100th Departure still waterproof and very good to watch.
That are your Daytona motorcycle boots!
30 years in "family business"
It's not so that only I had this one experience. No, these Daytonas are for years in our family. My father had bought the boots sometime in the 80s for a motorcycle trip to Sicily, along with my mother on a XT550, to be well prepared. Over the following 30 years the Daytonas always been in use and did a few holiday travel, offroad driving and gravel pits, my father has brought few years ago the Daytona Winner for a match to the Daytona 675 to be back up to date of safety standards. And the old Daytonas, who incidentally is now your third sole, I'm happy now. Because as Trial boots are these super comfortable and offer adequate protection and maximum mobility.
Up for the next 30 years Daytona :) -
Clear: Motorcycle boots = Daytona
Until 6 years ago, I have tried several different manufacturers boots and was never really satisfied. Then recommended my dealer the Evo Sports. I have only a little hesitant because of the price, but then I bought the boots. And what can I say - 6 years, 10.0000 km, tours as well as race. Meanwhile, the outer shoe is by two small outbreaks a little bit damaged.Never mind, the Evo Sports get soon a new outer shell and move on the next 6 years. The fit, the quality and the protection factor convinced me so I am a proud owner of a pair Evo Supermoto since yesterday. And here I must say that despite the strength of the aramid-carbon shell of the boot it fits like a second skin on the foot.
I'm looking forward to the first round of test.
Now must only the snow disappear ;-)
For me it's clear: Motorcycle boots = Daytona!!!
The best boots in the world come from Bavaria, and that's good.
Greetings from Kalchreuth -
Why are you so good?
I got myself 4 years ago the Shortys. Why are you so good? I don't have time, to buy some new... They hold and hold and hold ...

The helm for the foot
Since I have the Evo Sport GTX, I just feel safer. Anyone who has had problems with his feet, who knows what I'm talking about and will protect your feet as well as head and hands. Thank you to offer such a great boot.
MFG P.Sch., Germany
A comparison with other brands is pointless
Over ten years have my Roadstars accompanied me everywhere and they still look good. They have thousands of rain kilometers behind them (2 x in the pouring rain from Croatia, 2 x from Italy / Pesaro, 1 x 1 x from Lake Constance and Stuttgart home, Upper Austria. Etc.) The boots, as well as my Goretex combi were, always tight. I would recommend this boot model safely, even to those with wide feet, there's this model in a wider version. In South Tyrol, I was pressed by an Italian Autobus against the wall, came under the motorcycle and without foot injuries. Thanks to the developers of Daytona. It is unnecessary for to comparing to its competitors because Daytona is a manufacturer and for money is still on for the quality offered. The new Road Stars - purchase was necessary because the old ones have become a bit tight - are already at home for 1 week and I'm looking forward to the upcoming trips and vacations.

Best Trainee of germany
One of our youngest team-members, the 19-year-old Kerstin Edmeier, has passed the final examination of their training as "specialist for leather processing" as the best in all of Germany. Hans-Heinrich Driftman, president of the German Industry and Commerce (DIHK) congratulated the winner at a ceremony in Berlin. Congratulations from daytona and we are very happy with her.
A class for itself
The TOURENFAHRER magacine tested "dry sorts" for different situations, also the Innershell-boot Evo Sports GTX of daytona®. Conclusion of the testers: daytona inner shell boots are a class for it's own. When you are searching for a high protective and secure boot than this one is the best for. Significant losses of running comfort are just because it wasn't on the priority list on the development at the racing track. Designed to provide protection primarily against the dreaded "whip" when drivers crash at high speeds and roll over. The ankles are well protected and through Gore-membrane remain your feet well and dry.

Daytona Are The Daddies At Making Motorcycle Boots
The FAST BIKES MAGAZINE writes: Simply put, Daytona are the daddies at making motorcycle boots. They're not distracted by manufacturing other kit, so are devotet to bringing you the ultimate in safety. Many racers sacrifice paid contracts just to have Daytona's top-quality product. Usually top end on price but clearly top-end in results, too. Warming your tootsies from the kings of safety are the new Road Stars - not the sexiest jiving boots, but packed full of protection and assurance with their patented inner/outer booties.

Daytona Is The Ferrari Of The Boot World
And another report of the FAST BIKES MAGAZINE: You need top-to-toe coverage when you're out and about on a bike, and nothing protects the toes better than this lot. An oft used expressions is that if racers weren't paid to wear boots, they'd all weare Daytona. And this isn't so far from the truth, going by what we've been told here at FB by countless racers over the years. Any racers that do wear them, ususally have to pay for the privilege. Daytona is the Ferrari of the boot world in this case, and it's a mantle well deserved. The Security Evo III is the ultimate expression of this twin-shoe philosophy.
