Featured New Boots

These are my new riding boots. I wanted something that was comfortable to walk in when off the bike but still has firm support. Waterproof and not all black like the typical American biker boot. I'm a motorcyclist not a biker. I tried on many boots but as soon as I put these on I knew they where the ones.
The highlights.

Nice and tall all leather boot.

A nice lugged sole for walking and traction when moving the bike around.

I took the little frilly decorations off, lol. They will get a generous application of mink oil to further waterproof and protect the leather..
These are far nicer than most boots I've had for riding without the biker look.
cost was $170 American. Reasonable in my opinion.

 

I rode with them on Sunday and I really like them, very sure footed when you come to a stop and also when paddling the bike around.

 

So far so good, lots to be said about real leather. I'm going to mink oil them soon for some extra protection. They have proven to be very comfortable. And I did take the frilly things off, lol.

 

Well today I gave the boots their first mink oil treatment.
Can you see the shifter mark. Only a motorcyclist will appreciate that, lol.

I used a brush and really worked it into the seams and threads.
One boot applied.

It darkened them to a nice dark brown color that I like.

I applied the mink oil really heavy.

Then used a hair dryer to warm the boots and the mink oil really soaked right in.

After the boots cooled a bit I wiped them down with a soft cloth and then brushed them.

I really like these boots, they are supportive yet comfortable to walk in.
