Should I air down to make it easier?

Sometimes that's the only way I can get into my riding pants.

OMFG!!! I am laughing and trying not to fall on the floor. Thanks for that moment of reality where one gets gets pulled back to a point/moment of venerability. At least my feet were warm on the cold wet rides...Short as they were....

I don't think those boots are ever going to have a moment of "venerability"...

I was lucky to have very few pictures taken of my wearing them, we all age and forget, time will heal my wounded ego.....

I find your request for an avatar pic to be taken at the rally and your subsequent wearing of a shocking pair of boots to be beyond mere coincidence. You sir, are an exhibitionist.
When do we get this moved to the "Hijacked Thread" category?

My red and White riding gear, possible exhibitionist. (better to be seen while riding than not), forgetting my riding boots at my first FJWCR ...Shameful....

The hijackers have fled the scene, last seen wearing a red/white/black riding suite and black (Kmart special) moon boots. Not considered dangerous, but lacking in organizational and packing the all the gear skills. If spotted, shake finger at suspect and look annoyed till suspect looks away in shame.

I also failed to pack my riding boots once... ended up riding the whole rally wearing black Nike basketball shoes with my leathers,

  if it don't fit don't force it, get a bigger hammer and drive it!

Oh yeah, you put the wide flat end against the bead, not the blunt end.   

Usually less than two full passes around the rim, with moderate hammering and the bead is unseated.
