[ST] Is it time for boot chat yet?

[Steve Lawler <slawler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking for a new pair of riding boots and I know that this group 
could make a few suggestions.

Anyway, here are my criteria:
1) Waterproof, or, at least, very water resistant. Possibly Gore-tex.
2) Ankle guards on both sides of the boot. I've seen some with guards 
only one side. I can't figure out the logic in that.
3) Shifter protector.
4) Heel protector.
5) No slip-ons. Velcro preferred. Zippers, while disliked, are 
acceptable. I like to have a snug fit above the ankles. I have big feet 
and skinny ankles and calves (at the risk of opening myself up to 
ridicule: picture an ostrich).
6) No gaudy, flashy colors. I realize there are different tastes in this 
world, but I think that the Sidi Chrome boots are about the ugliest 
things that I have seen in a long time.

I had the Triumph "Trophy" boots which have since been discontinued. 
They met all the above criteria but they didn't fare too well in my 
accident. The boots gave their lives so that my feet would survive.
