I really have no comment as to that make/style of riding boot but I'd feel bad if I didn't point you to Chippewa Boots. I have a pair of 12" Rally (#27862). I bought them in 2000 and they are still like brand new. I was in the army (back when they had black boots) I use the 'ole KIWI polish on them regularly to keep them looking good. I've put over 80,000 miles on my bike, been to Sturgis 8 times, BBB in Arkansas, Sturgis on the River, The ROT Rally in TX etc...etc....And I can tell you without reservation that these boots will provide you with at least 10 years of use. Mine have NEVER been re-soled (even though they can be) and still have plenty of wear on the Vibram sole. They aren't water proof but I suppose you could give them MINK OIL treatment. They are as comfortable to walk in as any shoes I own. I wear Cowboy boots everyday and I wear my Chippewa's everywhere else except for the few times I wear my tennis shoes. Do yourself a favor and check 'em out. FYI..They're made in the USA too!!!!

Just my opinion but they would be OK for a bagger with heal and toe shift but a bike like mine will hang ever time you come out under the upshift. Did for me. I used a similar sole and even rounded the cleats off the left boot near the heal. Finial gave up on them. I'm 6'3" with a size 12 however.
