Default Riding boots recommendation.

If you're looking for a new pair if boots I'd like to recommend these from Cycle Gear.
I've been wearing steel toe Timberlands for years.
Tough, thick soled with great grip.
But I wanted something "different".
I found these and they are INCREDIBLE!!
Smaller toe cap......slips under clutch much easier.
Great road grip sole and a more tailored look.
Also has protective ankle caps.
I'm riding a 2010 Road King.
Just thought I'd pass it on.

No lace up boots for me. Too many things that can accidently get tangled up with one of the foot pegs. Been there, done that. Not pretty!

Just curious, is your clutch on the left side down by your foot? Or do you use your foot on the left handlebar clutch lever.

Maybe a picture would help.

The name of the boots at Cycle Gear are the Street and Steel
"Oakland" boots.
I think I paid a little over $100.
