Just wondered. Do you prefer pull-on or lace-up riding boots, and why?

Personally, I've always used the pull-on style boots. I started with the Engineer type boots back in the 1960's. In the mid-1980's I changed to the western style pull-on boots. I've just always liked the pull-on type boots, but I see a lot of guys with the lace-up "combat" type boots.

To me, the pull-on boots do a good job protecting my feet and ankles plus they are a little dressier looking and more easily pass for "casual" wear than the combat style boots.

And finally, the pull-on style boots seem to do a better job of preventing cold air from blowing up my pants legs when I'm riding in cool weather. To me, "cool weather" is anything under 72 degrees.

Just my 2 cents. Wondered what you thought?

I've always had the lace-up style boots but just bought a pair of Chippewa Engineer boots that I'm going to try.

 

I'm a lace-up guy. I've got a high instep, so a pull on has to be oversize for me to get on, then it feels loose around the foot causing blisters.

 

Pull-on. Quicker to get into and I have a thing about laces mixing with shift levers.
