Very fancy… and with quite a fun story behind them too:

I've been staring at a computer screen for 60+ hours in the last five days…A quick scan on New Posts and the title "Show us your boots" didn't quite read as written in my mind...

I think I should call it quits for the day...

“Show us your beets”? Here’s a lovely pair:

@Giles they're delightfully obscene.

I was omewhat fool hardy with the new Zerrows and went out for a full day in them, and have some tasty blisters to show for it.

@goosehd get yourself off to bed, you deviant

I hope you guys don't mind me admitting that I think, "show us your boobs"  pretty much every time I see the thread come up.

My progressively more indigo stained clinch engineers, a labor of love fore as they're very comfortable but not particularly easy to get on and off my right foot

Thank you guys for making me laugh…It's been a long week.

I have been trying to find comfortable all rubber work boots for about fourteen years.  I used to go for Muck boots but the neoprene leaks through (I often work in deep water. Sometimes chest high) most rubber boots are too snug on my calves so I fold them down.

These seem to be the best I have ever found.

They have athletic type support in them and are unlined but the composite toe is wide enough for my huge feet.

Truth be told I looked at them because of the color.

To the guys riding motorcycles.
Do you somehow protect your boots from the shifter or do you proudly wear the marks it leaves on the left boot?

[Giles]

Or get a pair of Wescos with a shift protector 

[Dmart]

If I would have boots only for riding, then I would do it, but I use all my boots and live with the stains.

I just live with the shifter marking

Boss toe with shift protector.
Heavy and thick leather. Unconfortable but protective boots.

[scooter]

A shift lever boot is an option, as well. I found this one on Amazon, for $15…...

[Dmart]

Why are they uncomfortable @Pygmalion ?
Haha @scooter I didn't know something like this exists…

[Pygmalion]

The thickness of the leather makes them quite heavy. I.e. they are for riding, not for walking around. The second reason is even more subjective. I ride BMW GS, it has not much room down there which makes shifting a little difficult with stubborn boots. Boss toe with a extra patch makes the boot quite "high", clumsy, and one has to move the foot, ankle, quite much to get the boot under and above  the lever.
