I have had many different boots, but the pair I recently bought are awesome. I'm not sure it is the boot, but more so the fit.

I went to a shoe store that had a salesperson that really her her stuff. I ended up going with Carolina logger boots with the gortex lining.

Most places these days ask you your size and give you a pair to try on. This experience reminded me of years ago when I was a kid. This girl wouldn't get me anything until she did measurements. And she knew what boots were sized to fit. She knew that one brand I would need 1/2 size in an another that would be a whole size. But the biggest thing was the width, they only carried brands that offered a variety of different widths, which I think is the reason these fit so well. Not too floppy, not too skinny.

Check out Thorogood boots. I have 3 pairs and love all 3. I have the slip ons,classics,and loggers. The classics are the only ones not steel toe. I also own 3 pairs of Double H boots that are very good too. All of these boots are USA made!

Are those 511s made in the USA?

Believe it or not out of all the boots I have I really like these ones. Well made and you can't beat the price. I wear them everyday and to ride.

Go try on a pair of the Danner Tactical series boots. Easy-on/off and no break-in required. Feels like wearing tennis shoes but with plenty of support and protection.

I've been wearing Carolina logging boots to work for years. They also happen to be great for riding.
