I have used a standard military issue leather combat boot for years. Paid US $32 for the last pair at the PX  back in 1997. Even crashed in 2002 at 60+ mph with a pair on and slid an ungodly distance before coming to a stop. Boots did not wear through, and saved the bacon on my feet, Aerostitch RoadCrafter, Tourmaster gloves, and Shuberthe Helme Concept One, did the rest.Recently however, I have switched to a side zipped "military style" up over ankle, and up the calf style boot, with laces up the front. Purchased from Big 5 Sporting Goods, and I paid US $32 for them on sale. I haven't gotten wet in them yet, but I'm No duck and don't ride much in the rain!The only complaint I can wedge in there, is that sometimes it is a bit tight to get the bulky toe under the shifter for upshifts into higher gears.</blockquote>
