I wear Western Style (Cowboy boots) all day most every day, as a result I own closet full. My favorites for all day comfort are usually my Ariats, so as for me I usually ride with whichever pair I have on at the time I decide to go for a ride

 

Yes it did ..... I had a 2009 R1200rt and really liked the bike. Previous to that I rode a Goldwing. The wife liked the Goldwing, very comfortable, I found it boring. So I bought the RT, it had some character, it was agile, had a little vibration, but not as comfortable for the wife. The sitting position bothered my knees, it's tough to stretch out on a sport tourer. I enjoy longer rides so the riding position began to bother me.

So this fall I sold my RT and ordered a 2016 Ultra. It was delivered to my garage in late February.

My wife could never hear me come home on the RT..... Oh your back? Now she has the garage door opened for me

 

I picked up a pair of Stylmartin waterproof boots a couple of years ago and they've become my go to pair particularly if I'm going to be on and off the bike a lot. Break-in time was very short and the soles provide a good grip.

 

I wear these, and they keep my feet dry.

A pair of NEO's rolled up in my swing-arm bag are for when the deluge hits.



These are coated poly-canvas, except for the neoprene soles, and you can literally go wading in em; 100% waterproof,,, unlike Gore-Tex.

Leather with any kind of decent dressing on it will handle light or occasional showers no problem at all.

 

Oh don't laugh. I have a pair of HD branded boots the Felix model that I've been wearing the last 2 1/2 years. They were on closeout and had additional markdowns during a gear sale at the dealer got them cheaper than a pair of comparable wolverines.

Way more comfortable to walk around in than my old Oxtar TCS Evo race boots. Probably not near as good in the event of a crash though.

I think wolverine makes the HD boots. Any good Vibram sole work boot would be my recommendation.

You change the exhaust? My wife never hears the road glide pull in. I however can hear her pulling into the neighborhood 1/2 a mile away.

In all this time they've ridden through several storms and thousand of miles of rain and never left me with wet feet.

I ponied up and ordered a set of custom Wesco's. EXPENSIVE, but VERY HIGH quality. My only complaint would be their customer service was lacking a bit. My order was delayed from the holidays and they never called to let me know. Not a big deal, but bad business in my eyes when someone is dropping that kind of coin on a product.


VERY happy with them. they are breaking in nicely.

 

Makes a ton of sense. I've had about 10 bmw's over the years. Some I loved, some I've hated.

I hope you and your wife enjoy your new Ultra in good health. Congrats.

 

Thank you 😊 I'm sure we will.

 

Red Wings for me, the pair I have on have been resoled once. After breaking in I wear them everywhere doing everything.
