looking for a good lace up boot for riding. what do you wear and where did you get them?

 

well i was wearign a pair of wal-mart generic $24 hiking style boots but between the sole wearing out, and the fact that even in a slight drizzzle at 55mph they got soaked. went out an got a pair of HD brand "notorious" boots lace up plus a zipper on the sides for easy in/out comfy too

 

Danner Fort Lewis, got em on eBay for a whole lot less than retail.

 

Like astark said...get something brand-name on eBay. In summer, I wear my H-D boots. They're not waterproof, but I know they'll dry out quickly enough. They're also steel-toed, for stompin' butt if I need to. My winter boots are Golden Retriever steel toed thinsulate, waterproof boots.

Something I learned in the Navy on a ship for 3 years...keep 'em polished (not necessarily 'shiny', just put polish on them once a week or so), and a good leather boot will last a long time. An awful lot of salt got on my boots in the Navy and salt will screw up leather in no time...I owned my pair of boondockers from bootcamp the whole time I was in.

 

i wear the double h engineer,but for lace up boots i like the doc martens

 

I wear the doc martians, shame to hear that they are being made in china now, guess I have to find another brand when these wear out

 

H-D Faded Glory...about $100 anywhere...been wearing them for years, and I got about 4 years out of the last pair...

 

Are the doc martians related to the Wal-Martians? They come from the same continent and they all look alike!!!!

 

West Coast Shoe-Fire Stormer Bought direct over the telephone, they are in Portland Oregon.

I was in a red wing shoe store and just found out about a program that is bringing back some of the older models that where discontinued because of cost. Which is great to buy leather vamp and insoles.

But for riding West Coast is the way. Resoleable and rebuildable.

 

Daytons are original biker boots, they come in all styles.
A little expensive though. But you will only need to buy one pair in a life time.
