I got 8 lbs of metal in my right leg and a plate and 7 screws in the left. I will never again be back in the touring boots I was wearing when the idjut pulled out in front of me. Too much at stake.. I saw they had a shorter pair of these but I am happy to to put them on anytime I go out. Comfy to walk in and comfy and stable to ride in....
I love the looks of those boots... the price is something I can't afford, but as I bought boots back in 06, at an awesome deal on closeout.. and was smart enough to buy a second pair as spares when the first ones wore out, I'm set for a while... only wore the second set a dozen times..
Got them on closeout for $79.. yes, that's right.... they are extremely robust, and I trust them a lot....
Can't get them any more, wish they still sold them... awesome boot for $70
I'll get those expendo ones when these wear out...
