    I like the styles that have no laces, a zipper up the side covered with a velcro flap, waterproof, oil resistant/non-slip soles. It seems finding a boot with those specs in a width I need is next to impossible! I recently order a pair of boots from Competition Accessories that were supposedly wide, I couldn't even get my foot into them! Luckily I got a full refund. I agree with another poster that said he can't mail order boots. We need to be able to try them on first. There is not a lot of choice in my area. So yeah, I wear my Skechers when I ride, or my low rise hikers. Both have laces.
    D-train - gasoline will custom fit the boots to you at no extra charge! They are hand made soooooo!

    Cool Bossy Boots!

    i use both Milwaukee Trooper https://www.milwaukeemotorcyclecloth...-boots/trooper and Chippewa Boots http://www.sheplers.com/Chippewa-Mot...-Boots/320.pro

    As I can't move my feet, these boots with the zippers and long openings make getting them on and off a breeze

    Just went through the process. Had an old pair of Bates Riding Collection waterproof with the side zip. They were just regular boots, nothing special to make them motorcycle boots but......they were great regular boots. Always stayed dry and held up for almost 6 seasons. Actually would have lasted longer but the SO said they look nasty and had to go. So I started due diligence looking for a true motorcycle boot. After two months of research I wound up buying another pair of standard Bates waterproof w/ side zip. Could not find a "motorcycle" boot that I thought was worth it for under $400. So for a hundred bucks I've got me a pair of shiny new Bates.
