Georgia boots are a great alternative to
purpose built motorcycle boots.
Another money saving tip from the WiseGuy!
Today, purpose built motorcycle accessories are plentiful. The
popularity of motorcycling has has prompted a great number of
accessories vendors to go to market with specialized boots for every
type of motorcycle riding as we've already discussed. If you think you
have to have a pair of boots called "motorcycle boots" to ride in,
think again.

A tip by one reader named Ed from Orlando, FL, inspired this article
about Georgia
work boots being pressed into service as motorcycle touring
boots. I particularly
liked the tip, because I often find myself reluctant to give up my own
comfortable pair of Wolverine work boots especially when I'm just going
for a spin. And, as usual, I'm always looking to get the most for my
money, so When Ed mentioned that his favorite pair of boots cost less
than $100, it got my attention immediately!
Ed starts by saying that "Since I am a sport tourer with a
wife, we travel to places where my boots do double duty. They have to
protect me on the ride and need to be comfortable enough to spend hours
walking around." Sometimes we get so focused on the ride,
that we forget that we'll have to get off the bike at some point. The
more comfortable your feet, the happier the rest of your body will be.
Here are some of the features of Ed's
Georgia boots:
* Over the ankle upper.
* Steel toe - "The ANSI ones are
qualified to have a VW run over your toes."
* Tough, but flexible sole.
"A good work boot has to be comfortable
for all day wear by guys who are on their feet all day, not walking the
mall shopping (but you could if you want to)."
I would add to Ed's advice that you should make
sure the sole gets good grip on the road. Oil resistance is also a
plus.
These Georgia work boots get "no style
points, but a good pair of boots for under a hundred bucks."
Hey, I'd rather spend my money on shiny stuff anyway! :-)
If you are in the market for a new pair of
motorcycle boots and share Ed's priorities of good protection, all day
comfort and low price for your motorcycle boots, you
might want to check prices on several styles of Georgia work boots at a
great online boot store.
There's no doubt that Ed has found a pair of motorcycle boots that's
perfect for him. He concluded his message by saying that "when
I get tired of these boots (since they do not look like they will wear
out soon) I will look for another pair just like these."
