What boots do you like/wear and why?

[Jack Klarich]

Dont know if this is still viable, when I lived in Minnesota state law stated if your job required you to wear steel toe boots your employer was responsible for 100.00 per year for boots or shoes, as a Sears employee I could go out to the sales floor and pick out steel toe engineer boots, at that time they were a quality boot, nuff said I always had a spare NEW pair of boots. You may check in your state and with your employer just because

Well wouldn't work for me, I am the employer. Long long before there were laws, we encouraged the employees to wear steel toe boots and would pay half the cost. I know when I was just starting out in the business, the steel toe saved my foot many times.

If you have a local dealer, I would suggest trying a pair of each on. Weight may be an issue with the ST model. Certainly more protection but these aren't lightweight boots to begin with.

Probably a very good idea but I don't have a local dealer. Still I can make some calls to the surrounding cities and see if they stock my boot in my size.

I didn't go overboard on price with my boots. They are Blytz short just over the ankle boots, leather upper, rubber sole with Velcro fasteners. I paid £60 for them (around $100).
They are warm in winter and feel comfortable in summer, easy to get on and off. I like them but they don't last very long. I ride about 8,000 miles a year just commuting, plus 4,000 for pleasure.
I have had 2 pairs in 5 years. Not built to last, but I have found them very comfortable.
