Riding Boots

[F6Pilot]

I wear "Bates Durashocks". I have been wearing them for years. They wear forever, they have a side zipper, they give great ankle support and you can put a decent shine on them. Working Persons Store has them for about $100.00

Ive been wearing the 8" Durashocks for years as well.

I don't know but they seem too pretty to wear ridin?

Old pair of square nose 12 inch tall boots that have been resoled a couple of times and glued up a couple of time and I have had them since Columbus landed at Plymouth Rock. They work well and if boots could talk they would have more stories than you could shake a stick at. I bought them from a store at least 22 years ago. That's just a couple of days back for sure. Being 67 this year I think I got my moneys worth and they are still going. I owe their longevity to a boot saver that I used in the service and it kept the leather top notch all those years.

Tourmaster Riding Boots. Very comfortable and good protection.

I will never understand laces on a Boot for riding a motorcycle. I have seen shoe laces get caught and folks not able to get their foot to the ground at a stop.

I have been wearing these boots for 12 years. I love them. A tough boot made for the military. It can go through hell and back and still be functional. Thick lugged sole. Soft inside.
Can get them with insulation if you want. I have found them to be waterproof. I have been soaked many times but never my feet. A great boot. An American company with a Great reputation. They are also very comfortable once broken in.

Yeah I wish I could wear riding boots, but I have yet to find any wide enough to fit comfortably. My best fitting shoes are Skechers in a 4E width. It looks like Bates makes that size but if you click on that width on their home page it show you what is available in that width, and none of them are riding boots.
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.

Yes they were right size on for me. I wear Magnum boots for work and I had Cruiserworks in the past for riding Boots and all three are the same size.
