Yes I know the ancient biker law, I was warned off steelies when I was a learner... but being me, I thought the sensible thing to do is to experiment. So after several 'scientific' crashes I learnt that a decent pair of work boots are safe as bunkers, however doc-martin steelies risk cutting your toes off. I know why people warn against it, but in 20 years of all weather riding, steelies have served me well... they just need to be the right ones. I would go so far as to say they offered a fair degree more protection than the hazard that legend tells of. Also they cave in the doors of Saabs a treat. And a bonus side effect from these experiments is that I am lucky enough to have my own metal bone parts to match my toecaps!
