alligator ds rally

[Robert T. Heywood]

Not to start a raging debate, but, what is best choice a KLR rider (ME) who is doing mostly road but some off road too. Don't mind having a more MOTO like boot, just not too off to one end of the spectrum. Something that is comfy but too wanky for the dirt. any ideas?? Thanks.

Thanks. ________ Kimberly and I have Aerostich Combat Touring Boots made by Spidi, they are reasonably comfortable and good for all-round use. I'm a daily rider and for work I've opted for a pair of Cabela waterproof 10" black lace-ups made by Danner, they have Vibram soles. I look a bit clutsy but get away with it...I suspect they'll become my "adventure touring" boot for riding and hiking... Kurt

Alpinestars Tourer GTX Boots A classically styled, lightweight and waterproof boot, the GTX is ideal for the motorcycle rider who wants understated, easy to use footgear. This boot features a semi-rear entry design that makes it easy to don, and the waterproof full-grain leather and Gore-Tex construction ensure that your tootsies won't get wet after a long day in the saddle during adverse conditions. Sturdy protective measures include an injected shin plate insert, and hard ankle protector. EVA internal padding ensure comfort and additional protection. The zipper, velcro, and high-memory spandex at the calf give a great fit. A fine, trim riding boot, mercifully devoid of weird flourishes and colors. Black. Medium width. Sizes: 7, 8, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12. CAT. NO. 418 $ 197.00 Select/Order http://www.aerostich.com/riderwearhouse.store Check out the boots...I did Asia for 5 weeks with these boots. No problems to report. Totally waterproof...I don't work for this company, but you will find it rather hard to beat this boot for all-around usefulness. Good luck, Bill Pratt, Mill Creek, WA STOC#117 - 97' ST1100 ABS, KLR650-A12 http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/ResortRd/billp117/ "No matter where you go...there you are!"

Has anyone tried the Gaerne "Offroad" boot? I read about it in Dirt Wheels or somewhere a few months back, but haven't seen anything since. They are very conservative looking (brown, oiled leather), apparently comfortable, and have a sole on them that looks like you could even walk in them. Guy
