I've been wanting some slip-ons or side-zips for riding, like the El Paso or Sidestreet. Not sure Ill go with Harley, however, and since Dr. Martens are not longer made in England, I haven't decided what to go for.

 

I have a pair of the El Paso and they are comfortable and I have had no problems with them wear and otherwise.....I have hard to fit feet and found wides......the side zip makes it possible for me to wear these as I cannot get a regular pair of boots on my foot....I bought mine here....

00 and free returns...not a bad deal..

 

I got some of these.. Milwaukee Troopers.

 

For what it's worth, i have 2 pair of Bates boots. One waterproof and one not. The military and police seem to like them. Very comfortable, as a matter of fact, I wear them when i'm riding or not. They are better than my shoes when it comes to comfort.

 

I'm gonna probably pick up some of these next time im out. Chippewa 11" engineer boot. Great quality and u can resole them. I think you can get them for like 160 bucks... And no goofy looking zippers

 

Those look fantastic, i was very disappointed when i tried a pair on, the most uncomfortable pair of boots i have ever tried on. Make sure you put em on and go for a walk, hopefully they will work for you.

 

Really? I haven't tried any on yet

 

Ya, really, i thought i was going to die. Try them on in the store, walk around and see what you think. They mentioned a "break in" period, i said BS to that, walked over and put on the Bates and I loved them. Best boot I have ever had. I liked the looks of the other ones better, but its about comfort, not looks when it comes to my feet. As an FYI, I have a size 11 inch foot, that's wide and low arches. Not all boots or feet are the same

 

Nice looking boot, but I'm a cheap bastard. I'll have to wait for the clearance sale next season.

 

I wear the riddick boots daily as work boots too. I threw in a set of dr shoals work boot insoles on top of the stock soles and they are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I will buy riddicks as long as they make um.
