Super comfortable. I hardly ever wear boots, but I've got some Broken Homme boots that should arrive today.
BMX, skate and snowboard are my background, so I've pretty much always been into Vans.
I skated a little growing up, but I was primarily an mx'er 24x7 for 35 years. I lived and breathed the ****. I've worn DC and Etnies casually because I supported companies that sponsored mx riders.
I'll look into the Vans.
Since I've been reading this thread. I've gone from a 100% stock LR to the bike in my signature.
But, I've also gone to from:
Skid Lid half helmet --> Scorpion EXO-T1200 Full Face
Leather Jacket --> vest very similar to Emerican's
Polo type work shirts --> plaid button downs
and now black Wolverine work boots to skater shoes.
I believe my wife is right. I'm going through a mid-life crises.
92 to be exact....
Are they comfortable to ride with and do you feel safe with them?
Hahah the club/thug/SOA shoe thread.
Comfortable- yes. Safe- no. I've see a bunch of people puncture their feet and skid right through the fabric, but **** it, we're bad asses right?
Realistically, thick safe boots should be worn, but then again Levis and a flannel or hoodie won't do much either. I like how you can feel the pegs and shifter/brake pedals. When I wear boots or thick shoes it just feels off.
I've got a "nice" pair of leather high top vans that I normally wear for more protection from the elements, but if you go down at 90, I don't think it matters much. You're gonna get tore up. Don't go down.
I'm 5'8". Don't do 10. At least 12". It's contrintuitive I guess, but if you're short you need longer bars, mostly because t-bars don't have pullback. I have 9"+Protapers - close to 13. And 10 degree bushings

Just curious why you would want to go down to 10"
I'm trying to decide between 10" and 12" West Coast MX Tbars. I'm 5' 8" and wanted the grips to be at level or a bit below with my shoulders.
