Default Best Boots
At the present time I'm wearing my 25 year old flight deck boots from my time in the Navy. Even though they are an extention of my soul, I'm looking for a more comfortable pair to ride in. any suggestions??

Cruiser works get great reviews here. I don't have any so I can't say off hand. I have several pairs of Sidi boots and a pair of Doc Marten's. If you search for boots, there are countless threads on this subject.

Love my Cruiserworks boots. Fit like a glove, can walk in them all day or ride in the rain all day with them. 100% waterproof.

I have a pair of Harley boots that are very comfortable. If you have an Academy sports store near you, they usually have the same boots like the dealerships for half price.

Not knowing anything about your current boots, I'll suggest Redwings. Fit perfectly. Comfortable. Reasonably priced. Made in USA.

Chippewa makes a great book for looks, longevity and comfort. Great non-slip vibram sole as well and can be re-soled. Usually available for around $110.

I have a pair of Cruiserworks and a pair of Bates (touring). It's my 4th or 5th pair of Bates and, honestly I prefer them. Lighter and more comfortable for me. But, they are not waterproof.
Here are the websites for both:

Got some Redwings off ebay for $50. Amazingly comfortable, the leather was so soft I didn't need any time to break them in and the soles have awesome grip on all surfaces.
