Hartless - what aviationfred said.  Rider magazine had a boot comparo in the Feb issue. They really liked the Tour Master boots.  They took on a little water in the dunk test, but almost all the other boots did, too.  They submerge them in a bucket of water almost to the top of the gusset and keep them submerged for two minutes.  A couple comments made by the writer...."From the first time I put them on, the Solution boots seemed to fit me perfectly and offered a great deal of comfort," "What I liked about the Tour Master Solutions is that everything just flat worked, which  I cannot say about most other boots here," and "...when you consider the low price, these boots are a real winner."  They tested boots in the price range of $80 to $350.  I would recommend that if buying on line you go somewhere that you can try some on before ordering to make sure you get the right size.  I've found that sizes vary by manufacturer.

I just got these they come in wide sizes so I got 11wide. Wow are they comfortable. It's almost like putting on a pair of slippers. And super light. Haven't gotten to ride with them yet (high yesterday 18deg I think ) But if they hold up to I think they will probably be the best for the buck

In 2011 at the WCR I forgot to pack my regular riding boots (took the bike in my truck), Wallmart moon boots did the trick. Kept my feet warm but I felt like my feet were naked. Not a shining moment for me.  :dash2: :dash2: :dash2:

Good thing Henry was not at an angle to document my periwinkle rear tire at the same time.  :blush:

Always thought the The 'Red Power Ranger' nickname came solely from your riding suit. Now we all know the real story..... It was the boots... Who Knew... :pardon:
