Boot Preferences

Posted on by

Lucclassicdkgrey06I have frequently said on this blog that guys should wear the “right boot for the right application.” For example, smooth leather-soled cowboy boots are not a good choice to wear when operating a motorcycle.

Blackbreeches25Muddy work boots don’t go well with a suit in church. Tall motorcycle patrol boots look best with breeches tucked into them. Lug-soled boots for motorcycling. Dressy cowboy boots with dress clothes in an office.

However, this blog post will discuss my feelings and observations about different styles of boots and features. I definitely have my own opinions. What are they?

Wesco Boots for Motorcycle Riding

Posted on by

Wescobrown27Someone sent me an email that I regret mistakenly deleting. I wrote a reply, but instead of hitting send, I hit “cancel” and the original message got deleted. I regret that error.

His message was that he was considering the purchase of a new pair of Wesco Boss engineer boots, but wondered how they broke in and how they felt while actually riding a motorcycle.

Good questions! I do have some opinions based on experience from owning and wearing several pairs of Wesco boots.

Softer Tall Leather Boots To Break In Breeches

Posted on by

Wescopatrol1I mentioned on a recent post that I was breaking in a new pair of leather breeches. My new breeches were tight around my hips and made me appear to walk stiffly. When I wore these breeches with Dehner patrol boots, which are rather stiff, I felt even more restrained.

On Sunday, I wore those leather breeches again to continue the break-in process, but I selected tall boots that were not nearly as stiff. What were those boots?

Comparison: White’s Nomad Vs. Wesco Boss Boots

Posted on by

I have several pairs of Wesco Boss boots and now two pairs of White’s Nomad boots. These boots are engineer boots in style, appearance, and function.

Someone looked up “Whites Nomad vs. Wesco Boots” and got directed to this blog, but to a post that did not provide my opinions on how the boots compare. Here is what I think about each of these tough motorcycle boots:

Dynamic Boot Collection

Posted on by

For a while this month, my boot collection had grown to over 200 pairs — 202 pairs to be precise. Yikes! Not even a boot aficionado like me could really wear 202 pairs of boots. I had been teetering above and below 200 pairs for almost the whole year. But now I’m down to 196 pairs, and that number will decrease in the months to come. What’s been going on?

Wesco Highliner Boots on eBay

Posted on by

Closing the story from yesterday’s post, my two senior pal visitors and the cats have gone back to their respective homes, now that power has been restored to each of their homes after seven full days of their power being out. I am glad they are able to return to their usual lives, and let my partner and me get on with ours. Not that their visit was a problem; it’s just that we are not accustomed to having company, especially the matronly type (giggle.) No worries, we were good boys, and giving them a safe and comfortable place to stay was our pleasure.

Since we had some time to ourselves yesterday, I got my partner into several pairs of boots and…

Forgotten Boots, Part 2

Posted on by

Carrying this series forward, I am posting about a discovery of three pairs of boots that my partner found in our attic, which had been stored there since we moved to our house in 1998, and long forgotten.

Man, I did not remember that my very first pair of Wesco boots were not “Boss” (engineer) or harness boots, but were a very tall pair of Highliners. Back in the day…

Forgotten Boots, Part 1

Posted on by

My dear partner, Mr. Neatnik, dutifully packed away some boxes after we moved into our house (in 1998!) that we both forgot about. Recently, he got on a tear about cleaning up and throwing out “junk” that he found in storage in our walk-in attic. Lo-and-behold, one of the boxes that he found had three pairs of boots in it. They had been there since 1998.

What did he find?
