What kind of boots do you use with your sportbike? Reading around it seems like some people have clearance issues with the gear shift lever and thicker boots...

I'm still wearing my 2-year-old tennis shoes for riding.. Tried some work boots instead (with a steel toe) but I couldn't feel anything. Couldn't feel the shifter or when I was braking, etc.

I still want some good boots, but

1) I'm not sure about the whole feeling the shifter/brake thing on some of these boots. They look so big and bulky that you wouldn't be able to.
2) I use my MC to go to work, the store, etc. and don't want to have to limp around in boots not made for walking (plus the awkward look)

My shubandit just came in the mail, it seems to fit on my boot just fine. Unfortunately I won't get a chance to see how well it works until tomorrow. If I were going to buy a pair of motorcycle boots right now, the Icon Super Duty 2s are the only ones that don't look really weird.
