Above are some not-very-good pictures of my new motorcycle boots. I took them for a spin today on the bike. They're actually kinda cute, right? I used some sound decision-making this time, too. Note the wedge heel & squared-off toe, both of which are supposed to lend themselves to my quest for comfortable cuteness. I even went against my natural tendency to go the cheap route. (I don't even shop at Payless anymore.) Alas, as I predicted, they are NOT comfortable. See the metal plate on the heel & the round piece on the ankle? These are there for my protection. They are either metal or hard platic pieces that are there to make sure my bones are not shattered if I fall off the bike. The entire boot is reinforced for protection. This means it is stiff & unforgiving, causing soreness to my ankles, heels, and the balls of my feet. I'm not sure there will be any "breaking in" for these puppies, but Paul remains optimistic. We all know he is always right. Hrmph. We'll see this time. We'll just see. I'll keep you all posted, as I know everyone will be on the edge of their proverbial seats all season, as deeply concerned & obsessed as I am with my goal of comfortable recreation.
