Default To boot or not to boot?

Hey all, got another "gear" question I wanted to float out there. Boots or not, and if so, what sort and if not, what are you wearing?

For myself, I love my Frye harness boots. Comfy, classic, and tough as nails. What about you?

I found a pair of HD harness boots online, used, my size. Yes, I bought them. I love them. All day comfort. Heavy leather, and they were already broken in

Boots? Yes.

Did my Torsten Hallman's save my foot when a 390 Husky was going the WRONG WAY ON THE TRACK I hit head-on?

Effen A they did...

Boots, always boots. Won't let anyone ride with me without them. No shorts either.

I still have a pair of Torsten Hallman's that I wore during my motocross days in the '70s.

Do I wear boots? Always. H-D Riddicks that I got for a song, brand new, for all around riding, plus I have a pair of Underarmour Brow Tines that I ride to work in, as they're really comfy and double as my field boots.

Absolutely boots! At least up over the ankles.
