NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Motocross boots are much bigger, bulkier and come up higher on the leg, typically. I also doubt they'd have the oil resistant sole that street boots have (since putting your foot down on a slick spot isn't a great concern when you're out playin in the dirt). They also have less flexibility than a street boot (street boots/race boots can be very rigid, especially at the ankle, but they'll still have some range of motion).

Street boots/race boots (as stated above) will typically have an oil resistant sole, reinforcement in the ankle, and will be more comfortable for all-day wear.
