I chose the Voyager leather, which is significantly less expensive than European Calf Leather which used to be the only all-leather Dehner boots available. I arranged a good buy of these boots.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-KnwFEszd0k8\/TxNxqgPxp0I\/AAAAAAAADbY\/8iUU6mQ6ZfE\/s200\/Voyager10.jpg?resize=191%2C200\"  align=left hspace=10 vspace=10 width=\"191\" \/>Yeah, okay, I have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/cycle\/dehners\/\" target=\"_blank\">a number of pairs of Dehner boots<\/a> which I have acquired for many years. Some of my older pairs don&#8217;t fit me all that well, but I still really like how they look and the style.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to break these boots in properly with a good ride on the Harley, but until the weather breaks, that will have to wait.  Meanwhile, I broke in these boots (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?p=857\" target=\"_blank\">manually, at first&#8211;see this post<\/a>), then I wore them while wearing them all day Sunday, starting with taking some senior pals to church, then running some errands, and then taking some pics for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/cycle\/dehners\/voyager.html\" target=\"_blank\">a photo shoot for my website<\/a>. After that &#8212; snuggle time with my partner (with my boots on!)<\/p>\n<p>Today, I will be in work boots and jeans while doing a major home safety make-over for a sweet senior couple to whom I was introduced recently.  I have recruited several friends, including some pros (carpenters and electricians). We will spend the day as a day of service commemorating the values of Dr. Martin Luther King, whose birthday is the reason for this holiday. I am putting my time off to good use (and no longer terrorizing the &#8216;hood by running around in full leather LOL!)<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  enjoy your boots!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Monday, marks a holiday in the United States.
