Default Riding Boots

Do riding boots give you any added height? On average how thick are the sols on sidi and alpinestars boots?

I went to honda (just for fun) and sat on the new 599 and it was about the same height as an RR (maybe 1/4-1/2 shorter)..

I don't think they give you added height. In fact I think the soles are thinner than tennis shoes, so you feel a little shorter. The soles on my Sidi Vert 2's are thin.

You know Khoi,

A simple revalve of the front forks and penske shocks in the rear will safely lower the bike.

My smx+ make me a little taller but if you're short they're not going to be able to let you use the ball of your foot to keep the bike up. They wont bend at the sole like other shoes do.
