As a new rider I thought choosing boots would be pretty straight forward. Something I can get away with at work with jeans. But as I try to research this simple topic I get more unsure of what a "right" choice looks like.
Here is what I thought I wanted: a leather work boot along the lines of the Wolverine 1000 mile boot. Not sure this meets any kind of "standard" for appropriate protection. http://www.wolverine.com/US/en/origi...W05299#start=1
What I see others choosing: heavy, traditional-looking harness or engineer boots. Not real keen on the heavy "biker" looking boots, though I get that they provide a high level of protection.
