The same boots for 23 years - can they ever break?
I bought these boots over 20 years ago because they were comfortable to wear straight away and gave me a good feeling. In the meantime, I've changed my bike - I only ride maxi scooters - 4 times, but the boots are still the same. I've been on the Grossglockner at 5 degrees, on Lake Garda at 30 degrees and in the Ore Mountains in pouring rain and never had wet or cold feet. I only had to have the soles replaced, but that was no problem thanks to the first-class repair service. I'm beginning to wonder whether these boots can break at all ;-)
Stories with daytona®
Always with Daytona
On the road on the German Alpine Road with french friends (12 people). Always on the road with Daytona Shorty Stefel.
Comfortable even while walking
I wear Daytona boots AC4 for a few years and am very satisfied. With them you can still make hiking tours, very comfortable. Since I now drive a Piaggio scooter after 55 years of motorcycling, these short boots are ideal for a city stroll.
Only one blue toenail thanks to Daytona
Had a ride into the botany in 2015. Struck a rock with the front wheel, crash bar and right boot. Hit head and shoulder in meadow between rocks. Severe shoulder contusion suffered. Now to the boot: This was torn open above the big toe. One could see into it. I got with the good footwear only a blue toenail. Top footwear!!! Bought me one again!
All good with Daytona
Hello. I currently own 2 pairs of Daytona boots. The first pair, Touring Star GTX, was purchased in 2008 and is currently still in use. Whether on a Naked Bike, Supersport or Enduro. They are still comfortable, still leakproof and have only received a sole refurbishment over the years. The second pair of boots, the TransTourMan GTX, was purchased on the occasion of the new family member, the Honda Africa Twin, 2020. The perfect boot for traveling with an Enduro. Completely regardless of whether rain at 7 degrees in Tyrol or shortly thereafter sun at 32 degrees in Italy. The boots are dry, well air-conditioned and really comfortable. Proof see picture. Timmelsjoch while enjoying a proper espresso. For the future I hope to... oh, just leave the boots as they are! They are perfect!

Always well on the way with daytona
I have been satisfied with Frey products for 3 decades.
Especially the possibility to order individually is great for me. Unfortunately, no off-the-rack boot fits me
Great shoe
I personally have been riding the daytona Shorty for years and am so excited about the shoe. Great for walking when you want to visit something. Great shoe. I need new ones, so a win would be great.
This is craftsmanship
Black Forest tour with my son and for years with the proven and me always in safety lulling Daytona Security EVO G3 black. Although a racing boot, it is also super comfortable to wear all day. A super quality product of ingenious craftsmanship - gladly again and again. Many greetings !
Excellent
Hello dear Daytona team, I have been riding motorcycles for more than 40 years now and have worn out so many motorcycle boots (Dainese, Vanucci, Held, Pharao, etc.). For about 8 years I wear the Daytona Road Star GTX (still the 1st pair) and drive a year so 13 - 15 Tkm in all weather conditions. The boot is the most comfortable I've ever had. I never had wet, too cold or too warm feet. The workmanship is also excellent. Will not change again. Since this season I also have my wife enthusiastic about this boot. Love greetings, Thomas
Always Daytona
Ever since I started riding my motorcycle, I've always had Daytona boots. They have never let me down and are very sturdy.
Unrivaled
The Daytona Security eco g3 is the best motorcycle boot I have owned so far. The quality and safety are unmatched, so now I also upgrade to the GP model with Kevlar sole and my desired colors.
Daytonas wedding
My Daytonas were also present on the most important and beautiful day in my life!
A whole life with 2 pairs of boots
After 35 years I had to buy new Daytonas. And I assume that they will be my last motorcycle boots. A whole life with 2 pairs of boots. That is sustainability.
The best boot I've had.
I even advertise them on my car.
The best boot on every tour.
For me there is no other boot more.
Once Daytona, always Daytona
They accompany me for a long time and I don't want to miss them anymore. But slowly it's time for a new pair ... now?
Tour to the Moselle
Always a pleasure to wear these shoes.
Always on the road with daytona

Daytona boots and nothing else
Already Schaltrist exchanged sole already renewed once and the boots still do what they are supposed to do. Comfortable and safe.
I have the Daytonas now 13 years.
Even in hours of rain still tight. Top quality.
The best boots I have ever had.
Keep up the good work, thank you!
Greeting, Helmut
Great boots
Which I have not afforded me until today but unfortunately. I would be overjoyed about the win!!! Thank you, love greetings, Markus.
Never again without Daytona
Never again without Daytona
I've been wearing Daytona boots for about 25 years, I unfortunately had contact on the highway with a repair guardrail twice in all those years (inside a construction site). Once with the Daytona on my feet, once (incredibly stupid) with normal low shoes. Both times with about 80 km/h . With the Daytona I had a few days sprained foot. With normal half shoes I had the foot badly sprained, three toes broken and a total of loose 6 months "fun" walking. Conclusion : Never again without Daytona!!!
Daytonas have been with me for decades. That is real sustainability!
My Daytona boots accompany me in several variants already for decades through thick and thin. In the truest sense of the word "through thick", when it came thick during a Balkan tour and I pulled me in a slide on unexpectedly slippery road a wound on the shin (I was heat-related with the short boots on the road), which I noticed only when taking off the boots in the hotel. The right had namely suddenly a deep red lining. On the other hand, they also accompany me "through thin", since I sometimes let my fins hang out a bit too casually in curves (I'm seriously working on retracting them!) and the soles therefore rub off, more or less as slope indicators. By the way, they do this for quite a long time without leaking! Positively, you can also send in the Daytonas after several years and have them resoled. I think when you see the white insole, it's time ;) That's real sustainability!
Always well on the way
Always dry, ventilated and safe
My motorcycle tour with tent and sleeping bag through the Baltic countries was interesting and eventful. Unfortunately, there was a lot of rain! When camping in the evening I often saw and heard only how other motorcyclists complained about wet and cold feet. This problem I had absolutely not, because my Daytona Road Star GTX boots have never let me down, as on all other tours. I always had dry and well ventilated shoes on and that for many biker years! Thank you Daytona for the quality and safety!
The boots kept me warm and dry
This is Chris Key from New York City. Thank you again for the amazing tour of the factory when I was visiting Germany. I am so happy with both pairs of boots that I bought and I am grateful for the “advanced model” of the summer lightweight boot.
I am currently using the new Road Star boots on a journey through Alaska and I have been tagging your IG all along the trip.
The Road Star boots were flawless in the Arctic Circle. I was in harsh conditions, rain and wind and snow on my travels north and the boots kept me warm and dry!! Thank you again.

Simply better than the others
Our tour to the Bavarian Forest in August 2023. After 5 hours of riding the motorcycle in the pouring rain, the Daytona Journey proved itself, among other things, with its absolute tightness through the incorporated Goretex membrane. Also during subsequent smaller excursions, the Daytona Journey could again clearly set itself apart from my previously worn motorcycle boots by its pleasant wearing comfort.
Always warm, dry and safe
Purchased the custom (because of the too high instep and the too gaudy calves) Travel Star GTX in 2019 for the tour to the North Cape: The feet on the whole tour always warm and always stayed dry, no matter how heavy the rain was. With the trick garbage bag over the dry stockings pull and then in the wet boots I could help others, I was unnecessarily well prepared. On all subsequent tours: the boots always good to wear, with all the safety and strength always comfortable on the foot, pleasant in all situations. In 2022 then on a beautiful tour in the southern Palatinate I wake up and lie in the ditch in the creek. The FJR to my right, the fork and a suitcase to my left. Six ribs and collarbone through, the shoulder dislocated. Feet warm, whole and dry in boots. Found with good luck; cut out of clothes in ambulance. The cut things came with me to the hospital, the wonderful boots were unfortunately lost....
Thank you for this super quality
I had a motorbike accident in Sardinia and, thanks to my Daytona boots, only fractured my lower leg and fibula. Without these good boots my foot would have been gone. Thanks to Daytona for this super good quality
Around 30 years
The daytona boot from the 90s is actually still without damage. But it's "only" made of leather and therefore simply no longer suitable for riding in the rain. I will probably have to buy a new one :-)
Like on the first day
What can I say, once a Daytona, always a Daytona, I've been riding the Roadstar GTX and a shorty for 5 years, still as nice and comfortable as on the first day.
Daytona, nothing else
I have been a touring rider for 11 years now and have only had Daytona boots. So also my wife. This shot was taken on 24.07.2023 shortly before Kals am Großglockner (district of Lienz in East Tyrol).
Faithful, reliable companions over hill and dale, on land and "in the water".
I bought second-hand JOURNEY GTX 13 years ago -- which means they already had a few years under their belt. In the meantime, we have ridden many thousands of kilometres a year through a wide variety of countries near and far. The comfortable fit makes it possible to get off the bike and go sightseeing without changing shoes, or to go up a mountain quickly. It doesn't matter if the sun is beating down or if it has been raining for hours, if you have to go through gravel, sand or a few snowfields, or if you want to explore a cave - this wonderful shoe has even withstood spontaneous visits to dance clubs and all-nighters! Ideal for me as a woman, you always look good in them too. I think I could even fall asleep in it without it disturbing my sleep - because you hardly feel this shoe on your foot due to the good fit ; )) ABSOLUTELY GREAT !!! Now they are a bit tired from the heavy use and I will buy new ones for trips in extreme weather, but I will not part with them.
Only recommended
Dear Daytona team, in over 20 years and many thousands of kilometres in wind and weather, the Road Star GTX has always been a reliable, comfortable and faithful companion for me. Now I have treated myself to a new motorbike boot for my next tours and have decided on a Road Star GTX again. It has served me very well all these years and even saved me from worse injuries in two accidents. Thanks to you, I can recommend your boots with a clear conscience.
Stylish and safe on the road with daytona
Only to recommend
After many miles on the track and a few falls, my feet still enjoy the best health despite everything, thanks to optimal protection by my Daytona's. Even in my work as an instructor I wear nothing else. So whenever the subject of new boots comes up, I recommend going back to Daytona's.
Nothing compares to the fit and feel of the Daytona’s
For many years I've happily been using my trusty Daytona Roadstar GTX boots for commuting to my work as an Aircraft Engineer and the occasionally road trip. No matter if its freezing cold, piping hot, dry or wet, my boots are always comfortable and a pleasure to wear! I’ve tried on many boots but nothing compares to the fit and feel of the Daytona’s. The only downside for me personally is the hot-dip galvanized steel inlay due to the airport security…but I can live with that. Beside that it's a perfect boot that lasts for years! Kind regards, Ollie from the Netherlands
Nothing more than daytona
I have been riding Daytona for 15 years. My first boot was a Trans Open GTX, but after 8 years it was worn out and less comfortable than its successor, the Big Travel GTX. As written, I have been loyal to the brand for 15 years and the boot is still watertight even after several (sometimes torrential) downpours. I am happy and don't ride anything else.
20 years, 20 motorbikes, 1 boot
Dear Daytona employees, after 20 years and plus 20 motorcycles later, I had to say goodbye to my boots. After thousands of hours and kilometers plus some heavy groundwork and gardening I had to throw them away. These boots are made for... everything? Wanted to share this with you. Greets, Juan van Vessem, The Netherlands
Faithful and dry
My Daytona Big Travel GTX have been with me for 9 years. That's 100,000 km of dry feet!
Everything is fine
Since the first day with Daytona boots! Well ridden and in every respect!
Hello
In the picture you can see my 21-year-old daughter, yesterday at the curve training in Minden. She was wearing the Daytona boots and was totally thrilled with the shoes because she can support herself better and get her feet on the ground. She has had her driving licence since September. 2022 the driving licence. As she is a biology student, she has to look at how and when to spend money on motorbike stuff. We supported her to buy the motorbike ... she loves riding motorbikes ... would be great if she ended up in the lottery pot. Thank you
Great product
I treated myself to the Security Evo G3 because the sole of three other boots before it had given up (rubber + sole itself). Feels really sturdy and can be adjusted all around as you need it. Great product ... from Bavaria ;-)
No alternative to Daytona
I proudly explained to my boss that I had now also bought a Harley Davidson. When he asked, I had to admit that I had not thought about motorbike shoes. He then explained to me that I would obviously attach importance to quality in the helmet, the communication system, the jacket and the trousers and then he would recommend Daytona motorbike shoes to me because there would be no alternative. He told me about his good experiences and I decided to buy their product.
Simply great
Nothing beats Daytona
I've been riding Daytona for 25 years, once Daytona always Daytona, there's nothing like it.
