I have a nice pair of upscale general purpose boots from Red Wing. I've always like their boots. They stand up to a lot of wear and tear before starting to fall apart. They come up above my ankle. They are water proof and insulated. I started with those as my riding boots.
Then I went to the dealership to look at upgrading some of my riding gear. The sales lady showed me riding boots and said "All I have to do is ask someone to try these on. They sell themselves." I think I've heard that before. But she was right.
I had one of my normal boots on one foot and the other riding boot on the other. I tried skidding each of them across the floor. The riding boot would stop, excellent traction. On slippery roads, on gravel, on who knows what, that is what I want to be wearing. Also they had a much more thicker sole around the back of your foot, you could feel the extra height and thickness. And they came up higher.
The kind I ended up getting was Harley-Davidson Felix. I've been out riding in them, very happy with them. I'm still glad I started with my regular boots. After all I didn't know how this motorcycle "thing" was going to go. But now that I'm getting into it, time for even more riding gear upgrades.
