That doesn't actually explain anything about how they came to be or why they're designed the way they are, though.Originally Posted by Arethusa
My coworker's friend's kid was hit by a car and it knocked his sneakers off. The ER nurse said that it was a good thing that his shoes flew off because it helped diffuse the force of the impact. I would imagine that if your boots flew off in a bicycle accident it would not be a bad thing.Originally Posted by denimdestroyedmylife
I don't understand why they never make harness or engineer boots in narrow widths. Even the medium widths seem to run wide. My heel flops around too much to wear them but I think they are my favorite style boots. (As far as motorcycling boots)Originally Posted by Tck13

So I picked up a pair of Red Wing engineer boots for riding. (My Hawkins Doc style boots are beat to death.) Are these supposed to be tight at the calf? The top buckle thing basically does nothing. All the way tight they are still quite loose up there. Even if I tuck my jeans into them (which I never would in reality) they are still loose. My calves aren't really THAT scrawny. Most boots I wear I cannot lace all the way together. So what's the deal here? Anyone else have a pair of these?Originally Posted by j
I didn't know Belstaff made boots? There are some other cool Belstaff boots on their website. I would imagine the quality is as good as their jackets.Originally Posted by Tck13
