Footwear

Guys,

When I started out I bought a pair of caterpillar non-slip up-over-the-ankle work boots from boot barn with steel toes. I had a little difficulty at first tucking the gigantic toe box under the shifter, but after a hundred miles or so I got used to it. However, I am lazy and impulsive, and it took way too much time to get the boots on and off - they had laces up the yin-yang. So I bought a pair of these:

These go one relatively easy. They are a bit soft above the toe box and I think I bought them one size too large (they were ordered from a Suzuki store non-returnable. The first pair I bought was too small, but I talked the guy into sending them back, and I didn't have the balls to do it twice. The soft toe box sometimes leads me to slip gears or go from first to neutral, but that's mostly correctable if I focus.

The thing is, they are a bit much, once I reach my destination. Can anybody recommend a good, safe, riding shoe, that is easy on/off and also okay to walk around in once you arrive where you are going? Money is no object.
