Posted March 4, 201212 yr As per the title, does it matter if you wear your boots inside or outside of your trousers? Any benifit of wearing them one way or the other?
March 4, 201212 yr Moderator If your wearing race leathers trousers inside so that track doesent snag and pull them up and cause injury. If your a poor oik like myself riding to work when its snotting it down then over the top with waterproofs with a velcro strap to snug them up so they don't flap.
March 4, 201212 yr Author Cheers Proffesional, I wear mine under when riding to work in my all weather gear but at the weekend I'll wear them outside my jeans. Got DAS in a month so just checking that there isnt a right or wrong way of wearing boots.
March 4, 201212 yr Moderator if you wear your boots outside in very wet weather, you feet will get wetter because the water can run inside them
March 4, 201212 yr I reckon water proof walking/hiking gaitors would work too, plus can fold away nice and small for when rain stops.if your in fullset leathers, anyroad.
March 5, 201212 yr On a Cruiser in during the winter as with your feet forward it blows ooop your troosers, out in the summer to keep tackle coool...
March 5, 201212 yr so just checking that there isnt a right or wrong way of wearing boots. On your hands = Fail. On your feet = Might pass. Right one on right foot, left one on left foot = Pass! My leathers always go outside. If Cruiser Updraught is a factor, they just get cinched tight. Getting a pair of 'trouser-blousers' from yer local army surplus place (or even online) costs a couple quid and makes them proper tight. Easy on, easy off, stash in small pocket, no worries. Waterproofs always go outside.
March 5, 201212 yr Whatever’s the most comfy for you, I guess it depends on how tight your trousers are! (Personally I believe they should be compulsory along with gloves!) The best horror story I’ve got is a chap last summer on Triumph triple wearing t-shirt, shorts & “Flip-Flops” wasn’t my best move pointing out his footwear to him!!! Good luck with the DAS...
