I don't have shifting trouble with the ones that are low on the ankle, but I have a pair that are taller that doesn't let my ankle bend comfortably enough to shift. I wear these boots 16+ hours a day, darn near every day! I can put on a pair of tennis shoes and my feet hurt within an hour. So ain't noboby gonna tell me I can't wear my Harley boots to ride a Suzuki!
I just loved this response!
My boots do have the higher ankle, which I got because I had to have them when I took the Basic Rider Course last fall. And Im pretty sure the cops wont pull me over to check and make sure Im in fasion compliance. I guess the upside to wearing the boots all day is that they are steel toed (which might make them colder on my toes) so if anyone at work tickes me off I can kick them and not hurt myself.
OK, I finally figured out how to do the quote thingy. But I cant finger out how to do more than one quote per response and have it show who said what. So I'll do my best here to answer those that have been kind and shared their info/experiences with me.
PhotoJoe - I do like my boots, but they fit snug enough that it would be hard to wear thick socks with them. I do look good in those boots though...
Serenity - big A$$ boots huh? LOL Actually they aren't that clunky, so I guess its just my lack of coordination.
Justin - I hear on the misery starting in the hands. My hands tend to be cold in the winter anyway so I can tell Im going to have to invest in some really good gloves.
Jack - Elec hook ups for clothes, and a tv/vcr combo huh? Im lucky I can manage to ride a bike without trying to watch tv at the same time. I did see a guy on a big ol Harley that had a cell phone up to his ear while he was riding! I dont know how he could hear anything, between the wind and the bike.
FreeSpirit - I live in Iowa, so it gets plenty cold here. For awhile last winter it was actually colder here than it was in Antarctica!
Kel - I think thats the name. I took notes on who said what, but I cant read my handwritting, lol. Wemonz in chaps huh?
Im going more for clothing/gear that serves a purpose (like keeping me from freezing off body parts) other than fashion and/or making the blood in a man go to below the equator. I mean, it spends so much time there anyway their brains are deprived of oxygen enough.
Wouldnt want to cause brain damage.
DJ - and Im used to peeps looking at me strange. Doesnt really bother me anymore.
