+ 1 on the wolverine work boot. Just slip em on and ride. They break in quick and comfortable. A little heavy for long distance walking.

i currently have two pair
- red wing riding boots. bought em cause they slip on. use them for nice day trips and around town. werent' comfortable to walk in initially but are getting broken in. not sure if it is the boot or me.
- HD fxrg boot. use these when its colder or on trips. they are waterproof and i have been in downpours with them and have stayed dry. they lace up so it takes longer to put on which is why i have the red wings.

but there are a lot of good stuff out there

check out this site:
http://www.menshoenet.com/new334550.html

lots of shoes/boots and the prices are pretty good. have a whole section of HD boots made by wolverine.

this is the home site for the above site:

Watch out for the harness ring on the inside left boot. It'll scratch your derby cover.
