I received an email the other day from a motorcycle rider who asked me about the soles on Boulet harness boots (shown here). He said:
I am concerned that the soles on these boots may cause a slip at stops or when trying to duck walk your bike in tight places, or to maneuver backing into a parking spot.
He has a legitimate concern about whether these boots would work well for motorcycle riding.
But like many questions about boots, the answer varies. Why?

So Mother Nature gave us a nice tease today — temperatures reached 65F (18C) today, under partially cloudy but revealing-more-sun skies. What was on this biker’s mind?

I have a nifty snippet of software that lets me know what drives people to this blog. Nowadays, well over 95% of visitors to this blog are coming from the top 3 search engines — Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Other search engines, not as much.
What information are the searchers looking for? The top 10 searches are all boot-related. No big surprise there. What are those searches? In reverse order, from 10 to 1, they are:

I was looking at my handy-dandy website statistical analyzer data the other day, and I was intrigued but not surprised that four boot brands are the most frequently searched brands that drive visitors to this blog and my website. Wanna take a guess what those top four “most searched” brands are?

I have a rather interesting software snippet that has been installed on my website throughout its decade of operation that gathers anonymous data to inform me where people are coming from and what they are looking for when directed to my website.
Recently, I looked at data on what boots names or styles are most frequently entered into an internet search engine and got directed to my website. The results were somewhat surprising, at least in the rankings. Here goes…

The leather used for good-quality motorcycle boots is rugged and durable, but like all leather, it can become stained and subject to mold, mildew, and rot if it becomes wet. While I have had boots get wet before (mostly when caught by a sudden rainstorm, though there are times I’ve gone tromping through streams)… when I have good boots, I take steps to protect them from the weather and help extend their lives.
A couple weeks ago, I received a new pair of Wesco Morrison (style) boots. Morrison style boots are…

Yep, here in North America, summer continues until 2229 EDT on 22 September, the date and minute of the autumnal equinox.
And yesterday I led the last ride of summer 2014 with my Harley club. We had a fantastic day. It was sunny and warm, with beautiful roads to ride on in my home state of Maryland.
We rode…

I know I missed posting the boots of my week from July 27 – August 2. Sorry, I was BWB. (Busy while booted.) Here are the boots that I wore each day during the week of August 3 to 9:

It’s been a great ride, but my relationship with Stompers Boots has changed since the store and its operations were sold. Recently, Stompers as we knew it was purchased by “the werks family of companies.” The “werks” are based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. You may have heard or seen “bootwerks” or “leatherwerks” — these are the companies to which I am referring.
Back in the day…
