Heck, I didn't even know boots had an ass much less big one. Gino

I have been riding in a pair of the Sidi Discoverys for over two years now and they have been great. Get them big enough to wear thick wool in the winter and you won't have a problem with cold and wear thin wool in the summer and you'll be good to go. You can walk OK in them after a couple months.

Or use the footbeds from your old sneakers to make up the difference. I dislike wool in the summer, but my cotton MX socks aren't thick enough to make up the difference, so I use two footbeds. Z DC A5X A11X

Well, one thing I can add about the boot thread is these high dollar BMW Concourse Boots that cost about 360 (That if I knew they were gonna cost that darn much I would not have ordered cause I wanted the next lower style really ) out the door don't seem to have anymore protection than these Redwing Steeltoed workboots that's sitting next to them that cost about 120 out the door. Course, the Redwings don't have Gortex but a heck of a lot easier to get on and off. Oh yea, I just carry a set of tennis shoes for the campgrounds. Andy in Louisiana

I need to find a pair of boots that are good for dual-sport riding, are waterproof, cool in the heat, warm in the cool, comfortable for walking around in, look good (no gawdy canary yellow crap on it). I am looking at the Oxtar Matrix Gore-tex boot which pretty much covers everything except for being cool. Any ideas? Thanks, eh Rubbernuts

A big pair of yellow boots would be just the thing! You'd be perfectly coordinated if the exhaust "Tweety" starts up. Norm P.S. We'll be at Sunshine this weekend if you're in the area. Maybe you can drag the old guy from Harrison up for a coffee?

Maybe the answer is five different pair of boots. Roy Cope

Hi All I need to get a pair of motorcycle boots soon. I wear a size 14 shoe. It looks like AlpineStar Tech 4's will work, but I have the option to get either motocross sole or an all terrain enduro sole. Which is the best for general dualsport riding on the back roads of Baja, Death Valley, etc. Is there another boot I should be looking at?

You might consider Thor T-30's. Great boots at a fraction of the price and they come with either sole as well. The sole choice would depend on how good a rider you are and how bullet proof you've made your KLR. If you don't get PD nerfs from Happy Trails you should get the all terrain sole 'cause you're gonna be walking --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, Randall Marbach wrote:

TIA Randy from Burbank reply below--------------------------------------------------------- I have the ATV sole and like them just fine. The boot does leak a bit under heavy rain and I use Alpinestars Boot wax in them too. Ok boots for $150. Kurt Thomas Va Beach, VA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
