Title: Finally got some riding boots
Post by: codajastal on April 17, 2012, 04:55:30 PM

Never had boots before. Always rode with my steelcap work boots until now.

They are very comfortable. I can walk just about all day in them and they are waterproof.  :thumb:

Just out of curiosity why are the toe sliders so far over? My Frank Thomas' had toe sliders and they seem to be more over the 3 middle toes vs the little toe . When I was done with the boots the sliders had done their job an was pretty scrapped up.

That seems to be a trick of the photos?
The sliders are covering the 3 smallest toes Well the first two anyway.
IDK maybe just slightly different design

That could be. My Frank Thomsas' are in boot heaven and I didn't take a pic. Guess my description was off meant to say they cover the first 3 toes (big toe included)

I think you've got the race inspired ones. Mine are the street waterproof ones. I think hurricanes they are called.
