Trickers for Herring Shoes Charley Boot

I normally wouldn't do posts like this. This isn't supposed to be one of those blogs that are merely a catalogue of free advertising for products that doesn't really need it. But I just found this and found it interisting.
The market is flooded with 'casual' safety footwear for motorcycle riding. All of these looking like strange cross overs between streetwear sneaks and MBT abominations. The Charley boot is an attempt to make a genuinely stylish boot suitable for motorcycle riding.
I think the attempt is mainly successful and I like the boots overall, but what is going on with that shifter patch? I don't get why they didn't just integrate it with the wing tip. That could have been done in a much cleaner way.
They are made by Trickers so should be solid quality, but they don't seem to have any real proection build in other than that from a strong sole and thick leather. That might be sufficient for most - myself included, but I think that when you market a pair of boots as motorcycle boots they should have CE approved armor.
Theres also a plain model in brown as seen in the last photo.
