Did anyone say they ONLY ride in their boots? If you can work, walk, climb, ride, etc., in cheap-a$$ boots without sore feet and back pain, more power to ya.

Alpinestars GTX road riding boots. Goretex lined 100% waterproof and very comfortable. I've had them for maybe 2 years and about 10k miles or so without any problems. I've been in several rains including one road trip of a day in 350miles of solid heavy rain. They are a good boot. Expensive but good.

I have Harley "Brake Lights". But they were completely uncomfortable UNTIL I added Gel inserts. In my opinion - Gel inserts are the trick to comfortable boots.
One side note- you should only ride with boots, and only with at least an 8" high one. I had an accident in October. I had a very minor crack in my left ankle. The girl who took off my boot in the emergency room said if I had NOT been wearing a good riding boot, it would have been a bad multiple fracture that would have taken a plaster cast and maybe even pins.
ALWAYS wear high boots. I will never ride without them or a helmet after my accident.

i have had lots of boots over the yrs. the ones i like best for walking and riding are the Tour Master solution boots. Waterproof, fairly cool in FL summer and warm in winter. They are excellent for walking and i have about worn the soles off.
Question??? Anyone know where i can get a new sole put on them?
