Coming back to this, as I'm shopping for a new pair of boots. My beloved Tourmaster Epics have served me very well. Should have bought more than one pair when they were on clearance. A zipper broke on one of them, and I'm having it repaired, but the shop says it might take a month. In the meantime, I broke out my Tourmaster "Echo" boots I had held in reserve for backups in case the Epic boots ever failed me. I have wide feet and Tourmaster makes wide sizes. The Echos fit well, but are made out of some kind of "microfiber" instead of leather, and after one week, there are already pock marks in the fronts of them. I don't see them lasting a long time. I fear that most Tourmasters are now made of this material instead of leather.
I stopped by a Revzilla store on Friday while I was out riding around, and the very attentive guy suggested a few boots. I did like a pair of Alpinestars touring boots, but am shopping for something wide and comfortable for all-day riding.

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
