Opinions and contest
The current winner of the month:
80,000 km, 12 years, 1 boot
After more than 12 years and more than 80,000 km on my BMW (first R1200R, then R1200GS, now R1200GS Adventure) a zipper is hooked and the soles are down. But the boots as such are still in top condition and leak-proof. Nevertheless, I'm going to buy new ones, as I want to take advantage of the improved safety technology of the Daytona motorcycle boots.
A family story full of Daytona enthusiasm
From scooters to R1s: a whole family rides (off) Daytona. I come from the north-eastern region of Italy, which is world-famous for its dense concentration of well-known and successful motorsport clothing and footwear manufacturers. The question and the search for the right, best motorcycle boots has always been superfluous for me, as several shoe manufacturers were just around the corner. That was until the 1990s, when I arrived in Munich on an exchange trip across the Alps with my RD03, the original Africatwin. That was the first time I came across these motorcycle boots called Daytona, which were unknown in Italy and obviously came from Florida, in a motorcycle accessories store (HG) that was huge and very well stocked for those times and my own ideas. No no, not from the USA, the salesman immediately corrected me, these boots are made here 50 km from Munich by hand and with great care, using the best materials and expertise. They are considered the best on the German market.
Despite my curiosity, I couldn't afford them as a student at the time, but as soon as I could afford them, I bought a pair. And it wasn't long before another model came along. And from then on, the question of the best motorcycle boots for me was always superfluous. Today, some 30 years later, I look in the wardrobe of our family of 5 more or less passionate motorcyclists and realize that, with the exception of a crosser of a different brand, we all ride exclusively and with the greatest satisfaction only motorcycle boots from Daytona. And that across the board in terms of the various “disciplines”: Touring, supermoto, evening excursions into the hinterland, fun laps in the sandpit, urban riding, fully packed vacation trips and maybe some more track riding, who knows. And not just riding, because the ladies of the house, especially the youngest, also wear the boots at work, at school, when going out etc. as if they were normal boots, “because they are super comfortable and offer a secure step even in the everyday life of the urban jungle, dad, and look totally cool, I'm always being asked about them.”
So brilliant, your service
Hi everyone, I'm ALWAYS on the road with the Daytona Strive GTX, never got my feet wet (it's clear, I actually always ride when the sun is shining), this year I got into a downpour with my Guzzi V11 Café Sport on the Jaufenpass... Bike wet, feet dry. Today I downloaded the repair document for the gear shift reinforcement ... the left boot is coming to you next week for repair. It's so brilliant that you offer this service! Best regards from Wuppertal Uwe
Thanks for 40 years
Thanks to Daytona for accompanying me for over 40 years on the road and on the race track and for continuing to do so for a while yet! Greetings from Swabia From Mike and his feet

When good things happen to you...
Frank Wintzen from Schwalmtal was so enthusiastic about the fact that his old boots, used on countless trips, came back from the "inspection" "almost as new" that he published a little story about it:
Tried and tested ... and graded with a smooth 1
An editor of the magazine "ps sport motorrad magazin" tried out the Daytona Strive GTX: "This boot has grown close to our hearts. Of course, he is not the safety giant like the racing athlete Evo from Daytona. But the great, because sporty everyday boot is also suitable for the fast tour on the country road and has a waterproof Gortetex membrane that really works. After almost two years in continuous use, the Strive shows no signs of fatigue - neither on the zipper, nor on the leather or sole. "And he can still shine in any rain." The editorial staff evaluates according to the school grading system and has awarded a 1.

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 often heard quote is that if racers weren't paid to wear boots, they'd all wear Daytona. And that isn't so far from the truth, going by what we've been told about on facebook by countless racers over the years.
All the 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 safety-shell-boot-philosophy."
