I have a pair of these: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/14/67/900/18457/ITEM/Sidi-Blade-Riding-Shoes.aspx

But they aren't exactly work appropriate.

Not to hijack the thread or anything but does anyone know of a pair of steel toed motorcycle boots/shoes?

I don't think you can get steel toe motorcycle shoes/boots. From what I understand there is a risk of severage for the steel toe cap in a crash situation...I may be wrong....

Hey did you ever find a steel toe pair of motorcycle boots? I need Steel toe for work and would like to invest in something for my bike. I guess for my purposes it would need to be the CSA approved ones.

Thanks for any info!

Motorcycle boots nowadays do not have steel toes. In a crash you don't want a sharp piece of metal slicing off some toes or crushing into them. I also find a lot of heavy duty, CSA approved, steel toe boots have thick, massive toe pads to accommodate the steel. This makes for awkward shifting on some bikes.

I am loving both of these:

Sidi has been the most comfortable brand I have ever owned. Currently I have the Sidi Canyon Gore-tex boot:

I have worn them all day, they are comfortable, but not something I would want to wear for a hike. Sitting at my desk, moving around the office, they are perfect. Before buying these I checked out the TCX Infinity boots (They also make a BMW branded version), boots were ok, seemed a bit narrow, but I really hated the straps on them. The strap on the Sidi Canyon works easily and is well thought out.
