Boot recomendations

I am looking for a pair of boots for street and track day use. Mostly street, but I don't want to buy a second pair when it's time for track days.
Recommendations?

Until I bought a pair of Frey Daytona's my Sidi Vertigo's were the most comfortable boots I'd ever had on & off the bike. Both offer serious protection from what I've heard.

You could just wear WESTERN BOOTS, they work really well in protecting your feet and looking good. I've been wearing them since 1970 and don't have any problems with riding and walking.

Yes, they don't have "slider points" but why are you sliding around town?

What about accidents - you say. They work just fine - all 3 times. Kept my feet protected. Toes just fine, ankles, just fine, lower shine - protected also. What more is there?

I was also able to buff them up and keep using them. True, I only went down at 60+. If you go down at 130 you will probably want to have the best you can get as far as stiffness is concerned - but 130 on the street - on a daily basis - with no hassles? Where do you live - I want to move there - hahaha.

You only need to spend $100 or so or decent FULL LEATHER boots. One word of caution though. They have Leather soles - so they are slippery. Get a non-slip insert put on them and you'll be just fine. I get that and just renew the insert. You can also live with the leather sole and just get it resoled with a good industrial tread when it is time - I do that also.

Daytonas are amazing. I had Sidi B2s before, but the Daytonas blow them out of the water.
