I'll never give them away again

I couldn't afford new Daytona boots when I was younger, but I really wanted some. So I got myself a second-hand pair - the Evo Sports. I'd never worn such comfortable shoes before and I was really happy with them. I wear them at home and on the racetrack, and to be honest - I don't want to give them up. That's why I've now sent them for repair, because I want to keep riding them for quite a while. Of course, I'd be super happy to get a pair of shorties - they'd be perfect for short tours or just for everyday use. :)

Daytonas - super light & comfortable, even in the air!

I've had my Daytonas for a very long time - they're light, comfortable to wear and, in my opinion, stylish. They are also sometimes used for other purposes - not only for motorcycling! They can also be used in the air or at crowded club evenings as a protective measure against trampling (inexperienced dancers). The investment pays for itself quickly, because other shoes fly apart after a bit of wear and tear with today's (adhesive) manufacturing (I've experienced this several times with biker friends) ... I praise my Daytonas for that, they have paid for themselves many times over!

Top quality, top repair service

My Frey daytona Touring Star GTX are now “a few years” old (bought in 2006 - approx. 35Tkm) and are, along with the fire department boots and the mountain hiking boots, the most expensive shoes that I STILL own (I have had to replace some of the others several times in the meantime). A recent repair was necessary (shift reinforcement torn). Here, too, the quality of the daytona's proved itself once again. A repair was still worthwhile, the repair costs were reasonable and the process was uncomplicated and quick. The boots came back in top condition, perfectly repaired and almost as good as new within a few days. The season (and hopefully many more to come) can begin.

Always reliable

My daytona boots always accompany me on all my dream routes on my dream bike. You can rely on them in every situation.

Never again without

My wife's first outing, now she doesn't want to take her new boots off.

I love them

Hello, the one with the KTM I am in motorcycle training and I have had the Daytona shoes for a very long time, they are just great, they are the same ones you can win, I love them.

Incredibly waterproof and almost a hiking shoe too

I've been riding Daytona for 20 years. Formerly the Daytona Bandit GTX, now the Burdit, but it's the same shoe. Even though it is advertised as a lightweight summer shoe, I can also use it in the transitional period without any problems. Incredibly waterproof - which it has unfortunately had to prove too often - and you can walk in it almost like a hiking boot!

Best shoes for fast days

I no longer wear any others

After the first Dytonas lasted about 10 years or 100,000 km, I treated myself to a new daytona Spirit GTX in 2023. I swear by dry feet and my Daytonas, because it can rain a lot in the north of Europe. I don't wear any others anymore. Quality that fits. The picture is from the Arctic Circle Saltfjellveien 1850, 8630 Storforshei, Norway Greetings Klaus

Always on the move with excellent boots

Hello, I have 3 pairs of Daytonas, all are excellent. In the picture I was riding with a buddy in the southern Black Forest. Wonderful routes and always great food. I had to follow my friend, who always rides a bit faster than me, so the left boot sometimes touched the road. But he coped with that without any problems. Fortunately, I can't report any injuries - but I think the boot would save me from the worst. I had the HD XR 1200x for 8 years, now it's on the road in Brandenburg. Unfortunately you can only upload one picture, I would have liked to add a picture of the successor, a Triumph Speed Twin.

There is no alternative to my Trans Open

They were fitted to my feet in Eggenfelden almost 10 years ago and are with me on every tour. Even when I go to the beach in Sicily. They fit perfectly and I can wear them without compromise for days on end without any signs of fatigue. They cut a perfect figure on and off-road and support the foot. The shoes have seen pretty much all of Europe. Let's see where else the shoes will take me in the future. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Your boots saved my feet

Boots Daytona GTX Trans Open, worn well over 100,000 km, 1x overhauled at daytona. Accident 2022 : Left foot completely broken once in the ankle, all bones = 1x through plus a few ligaments!!! Aaaaabut - !!! NO SURGERY !!! - because nothing was displaced. The doctor who treated me asked in amazement what kind of shoes I was wearing and that it was only thanks to them that nothing worse had happened to my foot, that the bones were broken but not displaced by the strain. That would be very unusual and certainly only thanks to the excellent footwear. Which shoe Mr. Doc = egg clear “ Daytona, the best ” Many thanks to Daytona, your boots saved my foot. It took 1 year, then everything was back to normal, full function. In the meantime I'm riding my bike again, and yes, “still with the same Daytona Trans Open GTX”, there was no sign of the accident. Brilliant, I love Daytona boots, there's nothing better for me. Keep it up !!!!!!!

Convinced by quality and comfort

I have always been satisfied, be it with the Spirit GTX, the AC4WD or the Strive GTX. I would recommend Daytona immediately, as I am impressed by the quality and comfort.

200,000 km without any problems

Hello dear Daytona team, my wife bought her first Daytona boots 40 years ago and has remained loyal to the brand to this day. I myself have traveled the world for many years, now covering approx. 1,000,000 km in Europe and Asia. My current DAYTONA TRANS OPEN GTX has been with me for approx. 200,000 km without any problems (overhauled once at your factory). Yours sincerely, Gunter Burkart

Always Daytona

I've been racing vintage cars for years and always with Daytona Speedway boots.

Always relaxed on the road with Daytona

Perfect on every tour - I just don't go swimming with them

Daytona motorcycle boots have been a faithful companion on my tours for many years! Whether in rainy Ireland or sunny Sardinia, I wouldn't want to be without the performance of Daytona boots. Not only in wind and weather on the bike, but also off-piste when site-seeing, the boots cut a fine figure and are simply perfect and comfortable. However, when a lake invites you to cool off, the boots also have a short break and enjoy the view.

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

Extra-wide Daytonas

After a good 8 years break and 30,000 kilometers ridden, I finally bought a bike again. As I now wear barefoot shoes, my old boots no longer fit. Now I need extra-wide boots.

Daytonas only

For more than 20 years, nothing else has suited my "problem feet" with a high instep and wide forefoot for motorcycling. Super comfortable, waterproof and very durable!

Rest until March

There they are now. A bit battered after the trip on the Route des Grand Alpes. Have held up beautifully, as they have done for many, many years. Can now look forward to March after a little care.

Ten years, two worlds, one pair of boots - my Daytona story

When I look at my Daytona boots, I see more than just racing boots - I see a faithful companion that hasn't let me down for over a decade. Whether on the race track in Almeria on a Kawasaki ZX10R or relaxed touring on my BMW R 1250 RT: These boots simply do it all. What makes them special? They are not only indestructible and still waterproof, but also incredibly comfortable. In fact, they are some of the most comfortable boots I own - and that's saying something. Even walking for hours on end is no problem. The fit? Still perfect. Of course, they've been through a lot in the last ten years. The sparks that the magnesium sliders produce when things get a bit more intense in the bends are particularly funny - my little fireworks display that I control myself! Now, after all these years, I'm treating them to a new sole - thanks to the fantastic service from Daytona. So they not only remain a piece of nostalgia, but also a prime example of sustainability. Why buy something new when the best you've ever had can simply be refurbished? Daytona - these are boots that are not only robust, but also tell a story. And my story with them is far from over! Coming soon on my new 1300 GS.

Clearly: Daytona

I took my tests last week and will be picking up my license on Friday. I wanted Alpinestars and bought Daytona boots. The decision was easy.

Perfect

In 350,000 km, odours only developed once for a short time because I had to take three bikes across a river ... otherwise everything was perfect with the daytonas.

My Blacky is picked up from the dealer

Of course only with my Daytonas.

At the very top with our Daytonas

A small birthday party on the Pyrenees tour. Càmping El Cortal del Grail.

Tyrol, endless rain!

But that can stop at some point...! Nevertheless, one of the best vacations ever with daytonas! :-)

AIRFIELD EXPERIENCE

... not without my Daytonas

Worth every cent

Previously had other brands that were very uncomfortable, but cheap. Quality costs something, but I've had the boots for over 10 years. Simply top.

Quality pays off

I have the Daytona Road boots. I have been riding them for 8 years and approx. 80,000 km. I have always had dry feet, even in heavy rain. Only again this year at the end of June on the way home from Slovenia. My motorcycle colleague had a shoe from Louis' own brand. He had wet feet. The durability and quality are unrivaled, even if the shoe is a little more expensive. Quality in Germany pays off here.

“You won't find anything more comfortable.”

Hi, when I bought my first “big” motorcycle 10 years ago, I naturally had to have the right outfit and footwear. My father gave me the boots back then, with the words: “I bought the Daytona boots new when I was your age, you won't find anything more comfortable anywhere.” What can I say, he was right. The boots have accompanied me on countless tours, whether at home or abroad. Today I bought myself a new pair of Daytona Travel Star GTX, but I will probably continue to wear my old “leather sandals” from time to time, especially on my classic car.

Better than extra lightweight walking shoes

My Lady Stars took me across Italy. What was great was that I could walk better than my moped friends, who had extra-light shoes in their luggage. As a reward, they had blisters. Hä hä hä.

Very satisfied for over 30 years

I have been riding with Daytona boots for over 30 years and have always been very satisfied. Once my boots were repaired at the factory (at that time still a Swiss address) because they were "leaking". Firstly, they were leak-proof again and they even professionally sewed on a piece of leather that I had glued on. That's what you call service!!!

Definitely only Daytona

Actually, I'm not a good Daytona customer, because I've had the boots since 2004 and have ridden almost 100,000 km with them. They have also taken a fall and protected my ankle well. I treat them with shoe polish and waterproofing soak 2 or 3 times a year and they are still almost as waterproof as they were on the first day. At some point in the next few years, they will probably get new ones anyway...but definitely only Daytona brand ....

Super happy

I've been wearing various Daytona boots since 2006 and I'm really happy with them. Once I sent them in for repair because the shift reinforcement came loose. They were repaired really well. Now the sole is coming off. However, the Shorty have already been around for a few years. I would of course be delighted to win them now. Because the prize is exactly my shoe ☺️. It would save me money on having them repaired again.

If they last just as long, they'll probably be the last ones I buy

Suddenly broken! 25 years, 8 motorcycles, over 180000 km and suddenly broken! Unbelievable, a shock, after a motorcycle week in the Harz Mountains in July 24, I suddenly discovered large holes in the soles of my Trans Open GTX, which are over 25 years old. You've ridden all over Europe from the Mediterranean to the North Cape on 8 of your own motorcycles and several work bikes that I've looked after, and now this. As they always did their job perfectly and I never got my feet wet even with these holes in the soles, the sadness of having to part with them is all the greater. But luckily you can order new ones and if they last just as long, they'll probably be the last ones I buy. DAYTONA, you have the coolest motorcycle boots, safe, sustainable, comfortable and always there when you need them. Greetings from the Ammerland Ralf K.

I am totally thrilled!

I was somewhat skeptical about the experience reports published here. Especially the statements that the Daytona should also be suitable for longer walks. I simply didn't know that from previous motorcycle boots. But it's true: my Daytona Lady Pilot GTX are so comfortable and finally nothing pinches when riding. I love these shoes and wouldn't want to be without them! Thanks to the whole team for this great quality and performance. Hats off!

But if I ride the next pair for just as long, they will outlive me

Dear Frey, after about 30 years with my motorcycle boots from you, I am now ready to buy a new pair. A few years ago, I considered having them re-soled, which I think is basically a very good thing. But if I ride the next pair for just as long, they will outlive me. These boots have seen me through all weather conditions and there is no question of whether I should change to another product, unlike the rest of my motorcycle equipment, such as helmet, jacket, trousers, etc. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to congratulate them on such a great product! Keep up the good work.

Daytona again and again

No matter which bike I'm on, the DAYTONA ARROW SPORT GTX are always with me. It's a comfortable boot that's also great for going for a walk if you like. What's particularly great is that I can buy spare parts for the boots or send them in for repair if necessary. Daytona again and again.

I have never been so satisfied

Hello, I am now 60 years old and have been riding motorized two-wheelers since I was 15. I have been the proud owner of daytona Road Star GTX boots for about 6 years. I have never felt so comfortable in motorcycle boots and have never been so satisfied. Apart from the well-known quality and the very good properties when riding a motorcycle, the daytona can also be worn very well for a short hike in the city or off-road. Greetings Rainer

You have infected me, they are worth every cent

On my first big motorcycle tour on my first bike, I didn't want to compromise on the initial equipment. With my knowledge of the highest levels of safety, durability, comfort and exceptional wearing comfort both when riding and walking, there was no way around my Daytona ROAD STAR GTX. After the tour, I can enthusiastically say that they were worth every cent and gave me a pleasant feeling of safety at all times and in all weather conditions. Thank you for that - you have convinced me and infected me for more great motorcycle tours.

Let's get going

Just bought and ready for many years of vacations and tours!

Daytona Road Star, what else!

Had the best moped vacation in Austria with my best buddies! Lots of bends, gear changes, braking, no problem! The boot lasts. And after over 100,000 km with Daytona boots in 8 years, I got a new pair: Daytona Road Star, what else!

Great quality

My father bought these boots about 25 years ago. When I started motorcycling 8 years ago, he gave me his equipment as a gift so that I didn't have to buy everything new. The boots have lasted over 150,000km, but it's time to replace them. I will definitely stay loyal to Daytona and buy the same boots again. Unfortunately, it is no longer common these days for such great quality to be produced. Once Daytona, always Daytona

Will always ride Daytona

My Daytona boots are already 15 years old, whether snow, rain or sunshine, they are great. Now, after 15 years, I have to send them in because the rubber on the top is becoming porous and breaking. Well, you can live with that after such a long time. I will always ride Daytona :) Thanks for the great quality.

The quality has convinced me

I've only ridden Daytona from the start, as I'm a (touring) enduro rider, of course the Road Star GTX. The quality convinced me right from the start and they are also good for my feet. Now I've treated myself to a Guzzi, which would of course look great with a pair of stylish short-shaft boots :)

Norway in my first Daytona shoes.......perfect
