Opinions and contest
The current winner of the month:
The boots for continuous use
I started riding motorcycles again late in life and bought Daytona boots as my initial equipment. The fit and quality convinced me at the time. They have now been a faithful companion on all my tours for 7 years and 70,000 km. Whether in the Alps or at work, during safety training or just for an after-work ride, the same shoes have seen four motorcycles, three helmets, two pairs of pants, three jackets, two leather suits and are as good as new. With Daytona's leather care and leather blacking, the shoe is still chic, even if the ravages of time are now prompting me to use Daytona's repair service or buy new shoes. And guess what, it will certainly be a Daytona shoe again!
Update: The repair service is also great.
I dropped the boots off at my local Louis store last Tuesday. Yesterday (Monday!) I received a text message: the boots can be picked up. That took less than a week with return shipping, and that in the middle of the season. Let someone copy that... The boots are like new again, thank you very much for the super service!
They are superbly made and last forever
I got my first Daytonas (Voyager Goretex) in 1992, which I rode until 2008, when the switch guard came loose. At the time, I didn't know that this could be repaired. As a replacement, I got a pair of Touring Star GTXs, which made it all the way to India with me. They got new soles a few years ago, and now the shift guard has also come loose. Since yesterday, they have been on their way to Eggenfelden for repair. I've now bought another pair of VXR 16 Goretex, as I need something on my feet until the repair is finished... All the boots are superbly made and will last forever (I use the ones from 1992 for gardening, they haven't seen any maintenance since 2008 and are still waterproof today). The boots are also great for walking around in. So - unreserved recommendation, they really are worth every cent!
I just love these boots
I've been riding motorcycles for over 20 years now, starting with a 125cc bike and then switching to a Kawasaki GPZ 500s when I was 19. I soon realized that I needed better clothing and especially shoes. I tried on the Daytona Bandit xcr-gtx by chance at my trusted dealer and they felt fantastic. They were comfortable, looked great and were just right for me. I rode them very happily for a long time and smiled at everyone who told me that their feet hurt when they were on the road without a bike and stretched their legs. A few years passed and when I became a mother for the first time, I hung up my motorcycle clothing and put my boots to one side. I gave away and sold some of my motorcycle clothing after that, but I never wanted to give up my boots. After almost 10 years off the bike, the moment came and I had a bike again and my fingers were burning to ride again. My clothes were a bit tighter but I was fine to start with. I looked for my boots but unfortunately I couldn't find them. I thought I might have given them away after all. I bought a pair of half boots, but after just 2 weeks I realized how spoiled I was from before. I looked for new boots but nothing fitted or was comfortable or I didn't like the look. I had already made friends with the idea that I probably wouldn't be able to find boots that were within my budget. But then came the moment when my son came out of the cellar with a pair of strange boots, they were tarnished and he wanted to put them away. But I was really happy because they were my old Daytonas. I cleaned them, put some care on them and got them ready to go. And what can I say, it's the same feeling as before. They are absolutely comfortable, still waterproof and look timeless. I just love these boots.

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."

How a daytona® boot evolves from around 120 individual parts.
If you have all the components of one of our motorcycle boots in front of you, it almost looks like an insoluble puzzle. But our 130 specialists in the production know exactly what belongs together and how. After 80 working steps they have processed everything into a new genuine daytona® motorcycle boot. One of about 70,000 pairs of motorcycle boots, that we deliver every year.
