I use these

:Icon 1000 Black Elsinore HP Boots

You can resole them, and they are awesome boots that keep your feet dry and warm. I just took off the metal plating. Its on there with little allen screws.

I don't usually buy Harley branded gear but their FXRG boots are really good.

I really like my Danner Stiker Torrent 8” all leather side zip. But they stopped selling the all leather version, so I’ll be looking elsewhere when these wear out. Gonna be a long time though.

I’ve been wearing Sidi On Roads for over ten years, they are comfortable, protective and waterproof. They’re expensive and worth every penny.

Damn, those are some crazy ‘Mad Max’ type boots. I think I like them a lot.

Danner Super Rain Forest if you have plans of walking around in them off the bike and are willing to give up some protection for that luxury.

Sidi boots that suit your tastes offer more protection at the cost of, well, cost and walking around comfort.

Irish Setter boots by Red Wing. The most comfortable boot I’ve ever had. I bought them for bird hunting which involves walking through all kinds of stuff. They stay dry and can ride or walk all day in them in total comfort. https://www.irishsetterboots.com/hun...id=hunt-upland

Muck boots are best. Ha good for atving. I used to wear engineer boots. No I want something with lace up protection and something like gortex. I say go get a pair of gortex work boots. I also get mendls. Lot of good boots out there these days. Read the reviews, that will usually tell you if some kind of issue with water proofing.

I lean away from recraftable boots now. I think out dated technology. I like injection molded soles. Like a tennis shoe boot. My next pair to try will be Keen, lots of guys at work wearing them. Other thing with modern non traditional work boots, is how light they are.

I am currently wearing 600g and non insulated Timberland boondockers. Like them but they are a heavy work boot. I have worn, danner, bates, magnums, rebooks My favoite was Mendl ultra light hunter. Bought a second pair. Seem came off on side. Cabelas gave me a free pair, but they no longer make those. The denali are popular, but I don't care for them yet stiff.

I got a boot fetish.
