I wear them when i ride to work cause my dress pants fly up my legs like, well, a dress. And I hate the whole changing clothes routine every morning when I get to work, these work.
Wifey bought me a cute little pair with eagle clips, so there!!!

Oh! and I dont make fun of you're poser vest with all the patches on it, so dont make fun of my bootstraps!!!

I wear them. But I'm 103. Just started using them last year. What difference does it make how old you are?

LOL. Women have strapped me on for a good ride too. Your point?

I don't, but if it's cold I'll blouse my jeans inside the boot (under chaps, so no one can tell how dorky I look).

But really, if I have thermals on under the jeans, the wind is almost never a problem anyway.

I never gavea thought to giving them a try. But I might just give them a shot.

Only when I'm riding to work

I wear 'em but only when I'm riding to work (which is a lot) and when I'm wearing loose fit jeans for the long hail. They do just what you want 'em to. Keep your pants from creeping up your leg and looking like some European sissy with manpri's. I like them.

Had a pair and my uncle seen them and said he needed a pair to keep his pant legs down so I gave him mine. I'm going to the Ryder clips http://www.ryderclips.com/buy_stirrup_boots.php

But I will try the longer pant legs thing and see if it works. What my problem is when I rest my heel on my pegs my pant leg shoots right up.
