How hot is too hot for you?

So I can't fault their crashing ability.

These are what I have, Merc Long:

Yep I have a pair of those (short cuff $60) I wear with my Accelerant jacket. I had a strap break but they gave me new gloves. For the record, and we've had this fight before, I've also had Technic gloves fall apart (Technic said fuck you) and *GASP* a seam on a pair of $200 A* Gp Tech gloves fell apart after a couple months (btw A* was happy to replace them). I've also had very good results with their gloves in crashes.

I've got Teknic leathers, held up in that same crash equally well.

Sorry but this thread is in the "street riding" section so track days don't count as "on topic".

It was too hot yesterday and today, plus it rained today. It's not so much too hot for me as I don't like my bike in the sun for all day.

Okay here's the question, would it help iyho to have the heels extended so they also touch the ground or no? Just curious, I honestly think that the Icon Bombshell boots are a joke and should be worn by passengers at best or around the bedroom with a pair of white leather/pleather boy shorts, an unzipped jacket with nothing underneath and a grin but that's just me...
