        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...

            @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.

                      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. 😎

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

                          Or get a pair of Wescos with a shift protector  🙂

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

                                  Heavy and thick leather. Unconfortable but protective boots.

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

                                        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.

                                          Ok, I never had comfort issues with Engineers.
                                          Is this a rough out upper and smooth vamp? We need more pics  😉

                                            Good day, 90,000 km. 4 pairs of boots, none of them have switch marks, they are rubber. These boots are army boots. Sweden.
