Warm boots...?

[rosenamedp]

What boots do you guys wear for the cold months...?

EDIT: I am very prone to cold toes/feet in general, on and off the bike. I have been wearing Justin western boots for riding.


Thanks

Dry non sweaty feet is #1 thing to worry about, then a decent quality boot will sufffice. I would recommend a pair of Gore tex hunting boots, they will be water proof and warm. But main thing is good socks and dry feet.

I just wear a regular, lace up pair of over the ankle harley boots. The cool air slipping in through the laces feels good.

My feet are always hot though, I can't even sleep with my feet covered.

Nice pair of ariat western boots, half size too big. Huge wool socks. Does fine down to about 20*. A lot better than the steel toe swiss cheese boots I've been using for years...

Still, I've about convinced myself to buy heated insoles when I have a chance. It's getting to be ~20* every day now.

This. And I carry a fresh pair of socks to work, to change into before the ride home. Makes a huge difference. Dan

I should have been more clear about my situation (original post edited). I tend to be pretty prone to cold extremities (hands/feet). I always wear Justin western boots when riding. I think I need shoes with more insulation than cowboy boots... I have NEVER felt my feet were too warm while riding.

Cowboy boots are great for the summer but the soles are way too thin for winter riding. I wear leather combat boots that are two sizes larger than normal for me and I wear two pairs of heavy winter socks. Make sure your boots are a comfortable loose fit with your socks on and you'll be fine.

I wear Justin pull on workboots, there warmer than the cowboy boots, and waterproof.
