I'm using a pair of Frye engineer boots, tall, no rings on sides.
Dep't store was closing out years back.
Heel works well for me, tall solo seat.
Leather soles feeling a little slippery on landing, had shoemaker add rubber to sole bottoms the other day,
No laces, tall and warm, solid.
Chippewa Logger's for me. Bought a pair many, many years ago. So comfortable and practical, I immediately got a second pair. I learned that if you find a good pair of shoes, get another before they're discontinued. Alternate wearing them - with regular oiling and polishing, these have held up very well.
Hey guys,
Looking for suggestions on riding boots. Anything better then others? Im trying to find something that's cost effective and comfortable for riding my 1949 panhead.
Did he share the year, because he meant he only plans on riding for an hour, or if you got a 12" dong, you want everyone to know?
Old thread too.
I quit wearing slip on boots a long time ago, I wanted something more support. I go for injection molded. I don't care about sewing hard *** rubber on a worn out boot.
Buy a new pair, you will be shocked how those old boots you love suck, and you just don't know it.

Nicks boots. Very expensive but they'll last way longer than any Redwing and rebuildable. By far the most comfortable boot once you get past the break in
Get rid of those expensive sewn recraftable soles, and be comfortable. Sewing a piece of hard rubber on a boot, is not the way to go IMO.
Also by the time the tread has worn, the insides are shot, and the rest of the boot has lost support, including the worn out leather.. People wearing 20 year old boots will be blown away by new cheap boots I suspect.

Yep, I have 3 pairs of Nick's and a pair of Frank's Boot Company boots as well. I don't know that I would say they last "way longer than Redwing" as they're made from similar materials. They are made of all natural materials besides the rubber soles. Good luck finding a tougher pair of boots on the planet than PNW boots.
