Riding Boots

I like my redwings, I get a new pair every 2 years through work. After a quick break in there like tennis shoes

I wish I could find my cut of "one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you".

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.

D-train - gasoline will custom fit the boots to you at no extra charge! They are hand made soooooo!

Yeah I saw that on their website. That may be my only option. -sigh-

Thanks!

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.

The boots that I posted the link to are available in extra-wide widths. Mine are 9EEE, because I have wide feet.

I'm on my second pair of these. I got the waterproof ones because the weather in Texas changes in a New York minute. But they're SO comfortable I've taken to just wearing them as my daily shoes (I ride to work every day). I just bought my 3rd pair because the place I bought them last time was out of stock when I wanted to buy these. So I have an extra set sitting in the closet just in case. LOVE them.

Only thing I own that's HD are my riding boots. Have worn well, side zipper with laces. But they're HD so need to move in a new direction because, well, you know . . . So next boot may be this Bates Adrenaline. Like the height and the protection and the fact the toe isn't too blocky and would fit under the shift lever well. But they're not giving them away . . . ka-ching.

these are what I was considering on getting..I have been wearing Bates boots and shoes for the firehouse for years now and if they hold up as well then they are well worth the 200 bucks.
