you should of said hiking boots then, instead of just boots. Strong motorcycles boots are designed to stop your ankle from braking by limiting how much it you ankle can twist. Also provides some shin protection. I'm not preaching to you just making a comment so that you don't enforce your bad habits on a individual who is inexperienced compared to you when it comes to riding, intern his chances of crashing will be greater so the stage of purchasing riding gear (made for its purpose) is very crucial.

Boots... converse are not boots. Hiking boots, work boots made of leather, i was creditting the OP with some brains.

As he has been told, there is an enormous post in the bike soc explaining everything he needs to know. He can then make his own decision, but spending £1000's on bike gear when he isn't going to ride much and just going to use it to get to the shops is pointless.

Also try to always get the best quality for your money, rather than getting the lowest quality to save money.
