Default Riding Boots?

Anyone have aany dealings with Milwaukee Leather boots? They look pretty good, but I'm wondering if they're comfortable for walking around too? Any input appreciated-thanks!

Leather flip-flops are good for walking around!

I keep a pair of tennis shoes in the saddlebags for occassions like that.
cant tell you about Milwaukee's, but Red Wings are great for being stuck in all day

I usually end up crawling if I'm off the bike for more than an hour or so.

Actually I use a pair of "Cabella's hunting boots. They are great for riding and very comfortable for walking also. But that's not what you asked is it? I don't know anything about Milwaukee boots so.....Never Mind.

I have Milwaukee boots. Their quality is good and very comfy whether riding or walking.

If you ever run out of gas and push your bike any distance you'll know how good your boots are for walking. I haven't owned a pair of Milwaukee boots.
