Best Riding Shoes for Everyday Use and Weekend Trips?

[dadoy]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for advice on choosing the right riding shoes for both daily commuting and longer weekend trips. There are so many options out there, sport shoes, touring boots, casual riding sneakers, that I'm not sure what actually offers the best mix of protection, comfort, and walkability.

I ride a mid-sized sport-touring bike, so I'm hoping to find something versatile. What features do you consider essential?

Are reinforced toes and ankle cups enough, or should I prioritize full-height boots?

Any specific brands or models you’ve had good or bad experiences with?

The only boot/shoe imho. I live in mine. Both riding ones 067 and work ones. 500. Steel toe cap ones are good too.

Depends on where you are. Here it would be AllTerrains/Ariat. I'm also fan of ECCO
