[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1302247, member: 29320"] I could write some snark remarks that would serve no useful purpose and if you'D posted this thread title on a Friday I likely would have. I rode for a lot of years in hiking boots. I have gone through several pairs of fairly decent Gore Texas hikers and was reasonably content with them. I also have a lot of memories of laces catching on my shifter, on the little tang of my sidestand, and on my rear brake pedal. I even had an occasion in 2014 when one of those little hooks near the top of the boot you run the last turn or two of lace through caught the netting on the top of my tail bag. This left me trapped, unable to hop on one foot and unhook myself and I damn near pulled the bike over onto myself. Thank goodness another rider stopped near me ran over and grabbed my bike supporting it so I could get unhooked. I'd already been debating a pair of mc specific boots. That was one of the last rides I took in a laced boot. I own the TCX boots John referenced. They are some of the best money I'venture spent on gear. Waterproof and comfortable. Easy on and off. I'lol never go back. [/QUOTE]
