Boots

If I thought that they would fit, I'd be sporting a pair of these:

Well, they fit...

I actually got the chance to try the Combat Lite Touring Boots on this summer when Aerostich came to town with plenty of their goods for people to check out (what they call a "Pop Up Event"). I figured why not ride down to the the location they were set up in and check it out. Glad I did, because when I slid my feet into these boots I knew I had finally found what I had been looking for. So I bought a pair. I've been using them for a couple of months now and find them to be excellent. They are made of very thick leather and do take some time to start to break in. But the real payoff for me is that they fit my feet like no other boot I've ever tried on. (I had been using a pair Dainese boots which I got to fit decently by using a combination of inserts.) I believe that the buckle across the ankle contributes quite a bit to this along with the internal speed lacing system. I ended up choosing the "wedge" sole offered by Aerostich (the boots are actually made by Sidi) which looks like this:



These are pricey ([url=http://www.aerostich.com/clothing/footwear/combat-touring-boots/aerostich-combat-lite-boots.html]very pricey unfortunately). But as someone who has suffered a few different foot injuries over the years, I've come to appreciate true high quality, supportive footwear that fits. For whatever reason, I'm very hard on shoes and boots. I'm not worried about these though. Fortunately, much like my riding leathers, I'm sure that these boots will just get better with time.
