+1 Never even thought to look for them. Pant legs don't ride up while riding. I think they would work well if that's what you need.

Boot Blouser
I use tactical/military boot blousers. These are 1" or 2" wide elastic with a velcro fastener. They come in black, green and tan. They would be very easy to make as well. Cost about $5 in a police tactical gear store or military clothing/ surplus store.

Here I thought that Boot Straps were something that was sewn on to the boots to ease the "pull-ing" on of your boots. Shows how much I know I guess..
What are those called these days?

So, like before I go out for a ride, I always put on fresh fingernail polish. My problem is, if I wear fingerless gloves to show off my nails, those awful bugs and dirt just mess up my nails. If I wear full finger gloves, it smears my fresh polish plus nobody can see my nails. What's a boy to do?

Just this past Sunday I saw a women buy and put on a pair of boot straps. Therefore, women wear boot straps. She was really hot and riding a new Bourgette(sp?). Unfortunately, for me, she was married and her husband was huge. Did I mention that she wore boot straps?

I have pulled myself up by my own bootstraps many times over the years. Yes, I am older than dirt.
