Yes, they are very comfortable. I wear them every day. I have four different styles, the lace to toe for my bike, loggers for work and Bison Packers for every day wear. My first pair lasted me six years, I wore them to work every day and all day on the weekends. They are still wearable but there is a split starting in the back of the right one.

Danner Ft. Lewis. Gortex lined, no insulation. Made in the USA. Mine lasted 10 years before being replaced by the same model.

Cruiserworks is not accepting orders until mid May, and at $239.00 I would hope they are truly worth it......that's a lot of scratch to drop on a pair of boots......

I ride with a pair similar to these, which is what I wear at work as well. While they are not 10" they are very comfortable. I wear them for hours at a time at work.

Sidi Canyon Gortex. Totally waterproof and pretty comfortable. I like the way they look too. Not much break-in needed at all. Not cheap ($300) but you get what you pay for.

Just got a pair of Bates and I love them. Very light weight. I wear them at work for 12 hours with no fatigue.

So I guess that means Wesco's are out of the question, eh?

I wear Redwing 988's Real comfortable, but sadly now made in China. Redwing has a couple other style engineer boots still made in the US, but they run between $200 and $300...
