Correct answer
No, under no circumstances.
The use of sandals or open shoes when riding a motorcycle is not recommended under any circumstances. Sandals offer minimal protection against impacts and abrasions that may occur during a motorcycle accident. The feet and ankles are exposed to injuries from impacts against the road surface, other vehicles or even hot parts of the motorcycle. In addition, sandals do not provide the necessary grip on the motorcycle's pedals, especially in adverse weather conditions or during sudden braking. Firm footwear with good grip, such as boots, is essential for maintaining control of the motorcycle's controls.
