A pair of great pairs. Is that a pair squared?
I have a pair of the knockoffs of your best pictured pair. I wasn't sure I'd like them so I started cheap. It's how I roll.
I had blisters the first day. Big blisters. I had planned to put insoles in the boots after I had worn them in a bit but put them in for the second day. Raised my heel just enough to eliminate the blister problem and I have worn them every day for the last year plus.
I have a couple of pair of motorcycle specific boots, but I haven't had them on since I got these. I'm really happy with them and will buy a pair just like yours when the time is right.
This is what they used to look like. Notice the stains on the toe caps. Some dumbass slobbed tool cleaning solvent all over them one morning. I couldn't stand looking at them so I dyed the toe caps like this.
I might dye them right from the start next time...
Yep, I figured you'd have decent boots, and they look a little better with some wear right? My new ones look a little too new currently, but they'll wear in over time. Just on the insole thing. I wear orthotics so take the rubber insole pad thing out and insert my own orthotics which makes them better for my feet and way more comfortable.
Yep, exactly that. Me too. I don't have to wear insoles in athletic type shoes, and don't wear them in my 'dress' shoes until they are relieved to every day duty. Everything else has insoles in them.
