NEW RIDING BOOTS

[1olbull]

Motorcyclegear.com has a great selection of different brands and excellent write-up on features, quality and 'fit'
You would probably want to look in the Sport -Street - Touring or the Waterproof Sport - Street - Touring sections
I like the look of those AlpineStars Ridge Air (or 'Ridge Waterproof' version but I don't typically ride in rain )
The Sidi Canyon GoreTex look amazing & get great review - $350 tho

Thanks Ken, but those heavy soles are what I have now and my hip requires an inside zip.

Looks like not much feedback Steve. I'm looking at getting a pair from Bates Leather. Their Fast Lane boots are very nice and well made. They are made in USA in California. Take a look and give them a call to chat. Bates Custom Leathers

The rear entry is KEWL!
No Gor-Tex and too tallforme.

I can wear them All day long and into the night without any discomfort, the great thing about them is they are really well made, can be resoled and are specially made for wide footed buggers like me

Wide feet and high instep is my curse as well.
A reason I"m interested in Daytona.

Those look good.
Alpinstars?

Yes , really light weight and comfy as slippers straight out of the box . The cut outs at the rear make downshifting precise and the plastic sliders are replaceable . They zip up from the sides with a weather flap covering the zip . I keep em well dubbined and have not experienced wet feet yet . They also have plastic insert where the gear lever contacts your foot so no wear and soles are real soft .
Warm in winter and cool and light in summer somehow ? What's more , they are not plastered in garish colours and look real good in the pub !

I also have high instep these boots I showed in other post cater well for both wide foot and high instep

This is what I'm wearing these days. Perfect for the Rocker look on the older bikes and it is embossed "Norton" by the heel.

Nice looking boot. Chippewa makes a similar boot the one i have easy on easy off. I've had them for six plus years and they've held up well. The Velcro eliminates the buckling for those of us that have trouble bending over... I wonder what the price difference is between the two. Mine weren't cheap.....

For some reason I'm thinking cowboy boots....

Made by Clark's of England so definitely not cheap but very high quality.
