I wear Doc Martens Ironbridge boots the non-steel toe ones. These are the best boots I have owned. I paid $120 for them 6 years ago and I could get one more year out of them. The soles are non-slip and the best part the soles aren't stiff so walking around in them all day is no problem.

If you think you'll ride in the rain, get goretex. Doesn't matter what brand, but get Goretex.

I have Georgia Boot steel toes made for standing on concrete floors. The most comfortable boot I've ever worn. They have a large toe box and padded reinforced ankle. Dressed with mink oil and they're water proof too!

I spent some time with the Navy and they gave me some of their work boots. They are over the ankle with a steel toe and non-slip sole. Very comfortable, look nice and I imagine they'd be pretty cheap at any surplus store.

Same here...only I bought the 'Sword' model. Has the zipper on the inside for easy on/off. Funny thing was that I went to a number of stores locally and didn't find anything that I liked. I saved the Harley store for last, found the right pair, and paid less than I would have at the other non-Harley stores! Go figure.

I have a few pair. Two of them are just "cheap" boots from Leatherup that I wear just around town or to the store. But when it comes to go time, I always wear my Cruiserworks boots. They are light, comfortable, and waterproof. I got sick of taking two pair of boots out on the week long trips. I found good boots to be one of the most important investments.
