So I'm looking for some decently priced black motorcycle boots that have steel toes (and any additional protection) and look good in jeans. Pretty simple. Any recommendations?
you can go for UDYOGI make safety shoe.
(add boots in top right search) If your looking for a dedicated motorcycle boot they have videos (top of line look for the high $) what they don't tell you is the added road feedback threw the soles and the small wear toe hard shift pad gives you feed back on the shift lever next to bare footed!
You don't need steel toes in a motorcycle. The top of the foot isn't where the danger comes from when injured in a motorcycle accident. Where you need the most protection is in the ankle and heel. The ankle twists and the heel and calf bang on the ground. You need some protection at the toes, but that is from the road impacting the toes and grinding against the boots as you slide. Any boots made for motorcyclists will do. Stay away from steel toed work boots - they are designed for a job site, not a motorcycle crash.
