Default Redwing Motorcycle Boots, Model 979

Just picked up a pair. I was trying desperately to find a less expensive pair that I liked and found comfortable with, but failed. Tried my first go around with Leatherup. Liked them, but the dual zip model came off too easy and the Loggers were out. I prefer a boot that fits well enough that you can't just pull them off. So, I picked up a pair of these:

Red Wing Shoes

Paid $120 for them at Bob's Cycle Supply. Yeah, spendy, but I know they'll last for a very, very, very long time. At least they'd better! Ha ha!

So far, no cons but have only had them for a day so I'll keep you posted. Here's what I like:

Full grain leather, water resistant, oil resistant, non-slip sole and all that. But, it's a side zip which makes the on and off easy. And, unlike others I've seen, the side zip actually allows you to take them off and on without having to untie! Plus, the zip is on the OUTSIDE, lessening the chances of it scratching the bike while riding. So there you go.

UPDATE: Finally got a ride in with them yesterday and they worked great. Better yet, mother nature decided the bike and I need a bath. But my feet were dry!
