Only walking is not as comfortable obviously but I carry sneakers for that.

This is true in my experience. Did 8 years AMA Enduro competition and serious dirt riding for decades.
Fact is you DO get used to riding in Motocross boots. Walking is never ideal but riding does come after a period of adjustment.
For travel or dual sport riding I use a compromise Adventure boot that offers good protection ... but NOT the great protection you get from a full
Motocross boot. In many serious crashes I never had a foot, ankle or Tibia injury during my years of Off road.
Now, with the Adventure boots, I'm more (much!) conservative and have learned well "how" to crash. So far so good!
I must say, I do hate trying to walk around in Moto boots ... and terrible choice for international travel, IMO.
