There are far too many boots available to recommend something without narrowing the field first. You'll have to decide on some things that you want in a boot, like ankle protection, Gore-tex, height, etc.

Well Bob, you cost me $50 today. I ordered a pair of the black Leather boots with the lug sole. They retailed for $159 plus S&H I have a pair on the way for $45 and $5 Shipping. If they can't be used for riding, I can use them for work. Thanks

I like my Doc Martin's, can't beat them for comfort and protection. I tried HD boots and was disappointed. The Doc's I can wear all day long, in fact I wear them at work so am in them all day long, have a work pair and a riding pair. Best $100 spent.

I really liked the Faded Glory boots from HD. Cant seem to find them anymore, very comfortable. Now wear the Chippewa Engineer boots, very happy with those.

Called the Company, the 511s are made in China, too bad as I really wanted to try those.
