Five of the best riding trainers
With protection for your feet (but not ankles) riding trainers are for those easy days out and about

I’ve found the Alpinestars SMX-6 V2 to be a well-constructed boot that offers solid protection and a sleek, understated look — especially at this price point. I expected the sole to be quite stiff, but was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are for walking around. That said, they can run a bit warm on hot summer days. I’d recommend choosing a size that allows room for both thin and thick socks, so they’re comfortable year-round. They do need a bit of breaking in, but once settled, they strike a great balance between protection and everyday usability.
Great price as good as the top brands
Feels really light and comfortable. Haven't try it on rain yet but goretex means something...I hope :)
Not been used in the rain yet(thankfully) but otherwise, a snug fit. I ordered a half size up but still hoping they loosen up a little.
Boots fit well, I have to wear a foot brace for drop foot and fits in boot and foot is comfortable.
