If you are used to wearing cowboy boots daily like me then try a pair of Chippewa Rally boots. I just bought a pair a few months back and really like them. They feel like cowboy boots, but motorcycle specific protection. Also have vibram soles and won’t slip off in a crash. Only downside is they require a lot of breaking in, and they are expensive. Picked mine up here used but like new for cheap. I’m still guilty of just riding in the double H boots though. Hate to think about them coming off in a crash. My advice is buy something similar to what you normally wear off the bike, but motorcycle specific.

 

Your best bet is to try on a few different pairs. What fits me may not fit you. For the record, I have a pair of White’s logger boots and a pair of Chippewa engineering boots. Both well made and comfortable.

 

Been wearin nastyfeet since the '80s wife just threw 3 pairs down from the attic. I guess I'll have to find a cobbler to re-sole them. The originals were from Georgia Boot, not sure who might make em now

 

Engineering boots.

 

I've been wearing a pair of custom made Dehner boots since the 80's. They've been thru a few sole & heel changes but they're still going strong 30 some-odd years later. They're a bit pricey now though. But they bring the mojo and class big time.

 

it was my dads. He passed last July.

 

Stunning!

I just bought a pair of Red Wing boots (zipper on the side and laces). I had a similar pair several years ago and they didn't disappoint when I got back into riding last fall!

 

My condolences for your loss; nice Pan!

 

Much appreciated, and thank you all for the replies! Lots of good info to take in. I'll be looking up all mentioned just to get a feel of what I should be looking for. You guys are all awesome!

 

I bought these. Pretty good compromise: reasonable quality and reasonable price:
