really depends on how you are riding. i wore my docs 1460s for about a year as my only riding boots. they were great. rode from md to fl and back in them.... through rain, cold, heat... held up great. moved to red wing 988 for more protection... but they are big clunky boots. they look the business though and the vibram sole is nice.
I wear:
I LOVE the ... seriously.... nothing close in style function and quality. there are better boots of the type likehttp://www.revzilla.com/sidi-boots and others but they don't have style. they are purpose built. the rallys are my go too.
my 17" engineers are for long trips or really cold days to keep the wind off my lower legs and prevent burns. http://www.chippewaboots.com/boots-and-shoes/17%22
the rest of the boots kinda vary based on my outfits (yeah i said it, i'm a fkn man!)
i'm not as bad as this guy and his "boot room" but he is right, the wescos are the meanest boot alive. i just cheaped out and got the chippewa 17"s for touring and cold because i was spending so much at the time. but i will be going here in the summer: https://www.boot.com/***oss.shtml
I wear:
- Doc martens 1460 forlife edition - first boots
- Doc martens nubuck engineers- style
- redwing 988s - style /rugged
- redwing buckmans - purely stye
- go tos--chippewa 17" engineers https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...182-boots.html
- go tos--chippewa rally https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...ewa-rally.html
- converse chuck tayors - no excuse for this

The word has become are commonly referred to as "yinzers". associated with Pittsburgh in particular, whose natives
Emblematic of Pittsburghese is "yinz" as the plural of "you", with "yunz" as a variant. Locals who speak the Pittsburgh dialect are often referred to as "yinzers".
A western-Pennsylvania bastardization of the phrase "you ones", which addresses more than one person.
There's your Pittsburgh grammar lesson. N'at.

+1 on the Chippewa Rally. I also use Danner boots. Has that all-day comfort and are very light. I have the Lookout side-zip and Wildland Tactical.

You can get 'em cheaper elsewhere of course.
