I would highly recommend Georgia Boots, they are great for traction and give you some height when you're in those spots where you front and rear wheels are on a high spot... These are also great for Gals, my wife was thrilled with her boots, being 5'1". Here is a link to help everyone out : https://www.google.com/search?q=geor...boots&tbm=shop

I use Hubberds shoe oil or grease to help make them water resistant. Grease works better in the seams. Some folks use mink oil but that's silicone based and is opined to break down the leather by some.

Bates makes a great gortex boot, never got my feet wet. But if you want a more traditional biker style boot, the HD Hustin waterproof harness boot is fantastic. They are made a little small though, so try them on. No wet feet with these either, and I have ridden in some crazy rains with them on.

Bought some RW Iron Rangers. Worst boot ever for almost any occasion besides sitting. Uncomfortable, nonwide version, slick sole that is dangerous on sand or gravel, do not buy this model.

Red Wing 2416 are the excellent boots.

Good timing on boots. I actually bought a pair of HD branded boots when I got my Road King about 5 years ago. They have held up well, but like others, they're good for just sitting, and totally suck for walking.

Earlier this week I picked up a pair of Allen Edmonds Normandys. They're made from a soft antelope skin, and come with optional grippy rubber soles. Best part is they're re-craftable should I wear them out. Not cheap, but not super expensive either given what they are...made in Wisconsin.

Get the american made redwings. Theyre a better boot, i dont care what they tell you in the stores. As far as waterproofing, i wear mine around 16 hrs a day and im lucky if theyre waterproof for 8 months. I also highly recommend slip ons that are sized properly. Thirdly, i recommend redwings heat moldable insoles. I cant even describe how much i love these.
