Dress shoes or boots

Cowboy boots!

Tried that once. Not safe with the mini floorboards I use, the heel kept catching the board and it wasn't fun. I would love to wear my AB's everyday. Thanks though.

Cowboy boots with roper's heel, very stable. No problem with the drop mini-boards.

Not quite what I'm looking for when a tie is required at work. Have had those boots and they do make comfortable boots for the bike.

I wear Bates Durashocks. They have a rubber sole that is not to aggressive and they look like oxfords if your pants are long enough. They are a duty boot but the bottom portion is all leather that takes a good shine. there is no Gortex that shows and they have a side zipper for easy on and off. They also come in a wide width which I need. About $100.00 from Working Person's Store online.l

Stro , The Frye Company. James style boot. Kinda pricey but looks great. It is an MC boot.

And? I don't intend to convince anyone of anything. I wore a uniform for over 28 years so people could make life choices.
I'm cool with that.

All I ask is that people who make choices don't tap - unplanned or planned - the "common checkbook" to aid in their results/recovery of their choices.
I.E. make sure you are $$$ covered so my tax money doesn't have to pay for your choices.

Cheers,

Steve, with all due respect to your position here and the knowledge you have, this response to my post kind of ticked me off. I don't try to convince anyone of anything. I offer my opinions. You seemed to pick on that one word. I'm a veteran too, and I believe in the freedom we have. I didn't post the graphic photo's. Maybe what I should have said is, you can't fix stupid when it comes to wearing gear while riding. But, to each his own. Plus, the common checkbook is already tapped by life choices...this subject, smoking, drugs, etc. What I have to pay for medical in weekly deductions and co-pays proves that. I got hit by a car, I had full gear on, and trust me, the checkbook payment would have been much worse if I didn't.

As Ron White once said..." I had the right to remain silent, I didn't have the ability".

wjduke,
First, I am open to any and all thoughts & opinions on this forum - no one should feel the need to remain silent.
I apologize if I "ticked you off." Not my intent as I truly believe we are on the same page.

I realize you don't try to convince anyone of anything - and I was agreeing with you in that I don't try and do that either - because you are right: willful ignorance cannot be fixed.
We both wore the uniform and defended people's liberty to make willfully ignorant choices. "To each his own" as you stated.
I just don't like it when those people also operate illegally by not having proper insurance and then the public funds need to be used to reconcile their errors.

I sent a PM further explaining my position on this - please let me know where we differ.
I'll buy the first several rounds in Arkansas if I fail to explain myself properly.

Cheers,
Steve

i know all riders have a different opinion on this .
but honestly shoes, jacket , helmet , gloves and safety gear should be let those who ride decide ,
i don't think people are ignorant for not wearing a helmet or the kind of shoes they wear .
i also don't condone guys on the freeway doing wellies as long as they not playing with my safety, we are good .
i ride with whatever shoes i have on at the moment .
if i going for a day of riding i try to dress for the occasion . but going back and forward to work ,the gym , and every other occasion i ride with whatever shoes i wearing for the day and every time i visit NH,RI or any other state the is not helmet law . i take mine off . just love the feeling of the air and sun on my bald head .
Ride Safe Everyone !
