There is a reason roadrace boots have armor and sliders on them. They are supposed to be on the outside unless your sponsored by a company that will cater to your own bizarre fashion sense...

But leather race suits? Like I said before, the vast majority of them would never be able to fit over the boot, even if you wanted them to. |

I'm looking at my boots wondering where these above the ankle sliders are? Besides the armor works whether the boot is inside or outside. Oh and I don't think that Rossi is weird or that Dainese would make a suit that way if they were concerned about it's safety. Actually, I think this is a fun/interesting topic. I honestly don't see the difference protection wise. I think you guys are a bunch of traditionalist "fuddy-duddys"

Leathers tucked into boots.
Jeans over boots. |

The only reason Rossi wears what he wears is because Dainese pays him to. Personally I think RS Taichi and Kushitani suits are superior.

LOL@Tigger! Bottom line is it doesnt effect safety or your lap times at all. Its just fun to poke fun!
FYI I have used toe, ankle, shin, and calve sliders at some point occaisionally while saving a crash or outright crashing. If you go down hard your going to get torn up!

Just depends on the suit you buy, some tuck in and some go over.
