Heres the criteria -high uo- no socks sticking out-waterproof-easy on and off-good sole on loose gravel areas-(they use gravel in the winter here and it never really ever gets cleaned up in many parking lots-corners etc)- low heel and nice rounded toe for shifting -under $300 ?? Please give me your opinions.

i like these but do a forum search there are so many boot threads

 

Sidi Canyons, a little over $300, but I like them, they are a motorcycle boot, waterproof and armored.

 

I agree, Siding boots are top notch. I would take a look at the Sidi "On Road". It is a touch over $300 though ($325).

 

Can't go wrong with Chippewa engineers.

 

I use "logger" style boots.

lace up tight or loose, all the way or 1/2 depending on what you like and temps.

most have vibram lug soles

I throw in a thick felt inner sole

they last for 25+ years and going

I slap waterproofing on them a couple times a year gets them supple and me dry

Custom touches: magnets inside the left heel to trigger traffic lights, alarm fob zip tied to top eyelet so i always have it with me on the road

Well do you wanna be cool, or stylish? And while your shopping, what else would you like us to pick out for you????

 

What's comfortable on my foot may not be comfortable on yours....
Chippewa boots with a steel toe and logger soles works best for me....
