Yeah. The Vertigos are very cool. I first saw them when I was getting track day gear.  The reason why I'm looking at the B2's is because I figure they'll look better with a Magna and my cruiser leathers but still provide a lot of protection.  

I think the main difference between the Vertigos and the B2s is that they didn't have as much heel protection or the calf adjustability. I need to take a look at their site again for a side-by-side comparison.

Looks aren't the most important factor here, though. Otherwise I'd be inclined to go with a more traditional boot. I really want safety, and some cross functional gear for that day when I get a sports bike for a second bike.

I bought a pair of Joe Rocket Velocity boots.  They cover the ankle have velcro straps and are well ventilated.  They are great in the summer and I can wear them until it gets pretty cold.    They are also comfortable to wear while walking.  When it gets too cold I grab my Ropers.

As a passenger, and someone with a narrow foot, I like my Wolverine Durashocks. They are a little warm in the summer, but I can wear ankle socks in them without any problems. They are also pretty decent to walk around in. Got mine at Cavender's for around $120

I have two pairs that I rotate.  One pair are steel toe Red Wings that have a balistic kevlar/nylon cap over the toe and around the heel.  They are great becuse you don't get shifter toe and the leather doesn't get cut where it is streached over the steel toe.  The other pair I have are Iron Age with a steel toe.  The Iron Age are actualy more comfortable in the summer as they have a lining that wicks away moisture from sweat.

Not that I need them since I moved to texas I have a very nice pair of insulated Leigh boots with a Kevlar electrical hazard compliant saftey toe for the winter time. :D
