Great for riding KLR 650
I love these boots. I was wearing tennis shoes but since i bought a pair of black thor 50/50's i will never wear tennis shoes again when i ride my KLR 650 on the street or in the red dirt. These boots are solid and great quality.

Thor Motocross 50/50 Boots
I have only good things to say about these boots so far...feel great on my feet, look great, seem to stand up to the rough stuff just fine and IMHO are way more comfortable than the serious motocross boots. These feel more like a high top tennis shoe and as such, allow plenty of easy movement for working the shift lever and the rear brake.
I would recommend these very highly.

Great comfortable boots that's very versatile
I wear a boot size 9.5 wide and got these in a size 10 and they fit comfortably. Buckles are great quality and these boots can pretty much be used for anything. I use them when I ride my street bike and dual sport. I wear them when I go to school on my motorcycle and my mountain bike. You can even drive with them but they are not so comfortable to drive with if you have a manual transmission car.

Impressed
I'm very impressed with the Thor 50-50, they fit great, feel good enough to wear anywhere. They were shipped quickly from the Superstore. I will be buying from them again!

Thor Motocross - 50-50 Boots
So far so good. I like the fact I can just wear these as boots. I also like that they are quick on and off. My only complaint is that they are a little stiff for shifting, but so is a motocross boot. I may just loosen the top but I am sure they will loosen up when broken in.

Double Duty
I really liked the 50-50. I ride street and never liked how restrictive and uncomfortable the racing boots are. I almost forget I'm wearing this boot when I get home. The ankle has some funny pressure points till break in. The boot gives good protection and great comfort. Much better than tennis shoes, but far more comfortable than a racing shoe. Great for the commuter/tourer. I use it when I tune my dirt bikes also, and gives adequate support and protection.

I Love These Boots
I have two pair of these boots. I bought the tan pair and have been using them to ride my Ninja. They work great as casual road boots and they are normal enough looking to wear in stores. I bought the black pair after I realized how much I like these boots, and I use them to ride my Raptor. I can get off my Quad, get right on the ninja and go. 50/50
Also the fit is perfect. I wear a size 10 and a size 10 fits perfectly. After they break-In, they still stay stiff where they should......Awesome Boots.

Very Stiff, runs small, not comfortable and over priced
This boot seems to run small, the buckles are hard to put on and it is so stiff at the ankle that I could not shift. It is also extremely expensive. I did not like it and would not recommend it to anybody who wants comfort as part of the ride.

Thor 50/50
I bought these boots wanting a good cross-over boot from my Ninja ZX6R and my KX450F, works good for my super bike with the only downfall being that up shifting is stiff, but it did not survive even 5 laps on the Supercross track. Ripping the inside of the leather on the right boot with just normal riding, no wreck. Do not recommend for either extreme. Buy two sets of boots. Would be good boot for cruising and is as comfortable as a work boot.

Very good fit, much more comfortable for the average person who is not a racer.

Thor 50/50 Boot
I wore these boots on my 2 week San Diego to Cabo to San Diego KLR 650 trip over the holidays. The boots worked well. They gave me all the support I needed and are a great general all around boot. Light weight, snug fit. I didn't need to bring a spare walk around pair of shoes either. These also work for that. If you are counting ounces on your ultra lightweight continent adventure, these are the boots. The “all rubber front toe cover” tore at the stitch seam a little, not the stitching but the rubber, so I'm not sure how long the rubber will last but, while they are in one piece, they work for what I'm doing; which is road riding to the next City and, fire trails for fun after I get there on the KLR. Perfect 50/50 boot.

Thor Motocross - 50-50 Boots
Due to medical problems, I am not able to wear a full MX boot anymore, so I thought I would try these 50/50 boots. They are great. I use them both in the dirt and on long highway trips on my DR650. They seem to be pretty rugged as well. Prior to ordering them, though, I went to a local motorcycle shop and tried them on. They wanted almost $140 for them, which was a lot more than I got them through the Superstore.

Believe Or Not
Sometimes you read reviews and wonder if they are fictitious and probably written by staff of the company... So why believe this one? Because this review is for real... I own a Honda Goldwing and a Harley V-rod. I bought the boots for the touring bike and I have never been more pleased. I thought the fit was going to be a problem (no half sizes) but that was not the case. I wear an 8.5 or 9.0 I went with the 8.0 and it fit like a glove. Just got them today 10/10 and went for a ride. Fit was perfect and I felt secure in them. I have Harley boots but these boots are phenomenal. Anyway Customer Service is Great and the Live Chat is Live.

Really nice alternative to street shoes
I was getting tired of wearing my full-on touring boots for my commute, and basketball shoes are not my style. Alpinestars had some interesting models a couple of years ago but they are no longer available, so I am very pleased to have found these Thor 50/50 boots. More protective and supportive than basketball shoes, comfortable for walking, and they look good. The buckles are easy to use, and they make for quick on/off. Nice boots!

Thor 50/50
I have to be honest about the 50/50. They are great for what they are but remember that it is 50/50 not 100 for this and 100 for that. They fit well and were not expensive, you get what you pay for and a little more. No sore spots or pressure points and it looks like your everyday footwear, plus a small choice of colors. If you're on a budget and want something decent then the 50/50 may work for you but if you're a no compromise kinda person then it may not do justice but don't knock it till you

Excellent idea
A lay back dirt boot that can be worn on the street. Why didn't it come out earlier on the market? A little stiff, but hey it can do it all. Yes easy on & off, but the plastics pieces looks flimsy, & no part can be user replaced like SIDI boots. Very easy to clean. Recommended for dual sport riders not hard core MX.

Good Boots
These are my first pair of dedicated motorcycle boots and so far so good. I love the latch closure system, super easy on and off. I also love the rigidity of the soles, perfect for my 72' Yammie that kicks back like a mule, saved my foot/ankle a couple of times. The soles could be a little more rigid, after a couple of months the foot brake pedal has chewed up the right sole a little but if they made the soles more rigid they wouldn't be as comfortable as they are. Great product.

Great boots so far. I've used them for both my ATV and my Ulysses. I've worn them on cool and warm days and they've handled both comfortably. Also, they're comfortable enough to wear all day at work.

50/50 boot
Top notch. When riding dual sports there can be a big swing in the needs of your equipment. Whether it be walking subtly into work or taking a tree stub off the big toe as you bang down a trail. This boot meets both needs and still does a great job of providing a safe and stable off-road boot with just a little compromise in coverage. Great product.
