Need New WATERPROOF boots
« on: June 20, 2014, 11:27:34 AM »

On a long road trip to Alaska and thought my Bates Gortex boots were waterproof.  But when it really starts raining the lower half leaks someplace. I think it's in the fabric area above the leather.  Anyway, is there good waterproof boot that really works?  I've heard the FXRG boots are good, but you can't get them anymore. I know the FXRG leather jacket works. So, give me some advice.  Thanks

Lucked out and bought a pair of the FXRG's that were in the discount pile.  Had them for about 4 months now and love 'em.  NO water leaks in and I've stood in puddles just to make sure.  The last pair I got were from HD (NOT FXRG) and while they were suppose to be waterproof, got my socks wet in a brief shower....took them back and got my money back.  Paid 70% off the FXRG's and happy.  My other riding boots have been some 18 year old Rocky's.  Gortex, insulated and NEVER had my feet wet.  Still have them and ride with them from time to time.  Not motorcycle boots but hey, if your feet stay warm, dry and comfortable during and after the ride, why worry if they don't look like motorcycle boots.  I would say you should be able to find some capable boots in AK during your next few days so good luck, be safe and look forward to the pics while you are there and your return trip.

Have a half sister that lived in Fairbanks for 15 years....she and her husband loved it but we never got up there to visit with her.  Should probably be kicked for that mistake.....

Stop by a farm and fleet store and get the rubber over booth farmers are using. Aerostich sells that as well but that will not help you on the road. I have a pair that rools up in the sadlebag. 100% waterproof.

Sidi's are excellent. I'm on my third year with a pair. Still dry and comfortable.

Own a couple pair of the FXRG. Ridden in rain and no leaks. You can still find most sizes on ebay.

Ridge 9000 Ultimate Side Zipper.  Waterproof - never leaks, lightweight, very comfortable & very good service at a lower cost than many on the market.

Those remind me of the SWAT boots I have which produce the same results.  Think I paid $89 for them at one of the bike rallies.

waterproof boots = water gets in, can't leak out.

Very similar, Jock.  Sometimes see these discounted at rallies.  Side zipper makes for easy off/on.

Cruiserworks are good but kind of pricey. Comfortable and can walk around in them all day. They have new owners that made good on a pair I purchased previously the sole had cracked and found out they had a bad bunch at one time. Waterproof as well.

Gaerne Balance Oiled.  They're very pricey, but absolutely waterproof, not crazy hot in the summer, and super comfortable.

I purchased a pair during the Outer Banks Rally and I love them. I also have Cruiser Works that need to go back for repair.
Both are waterproof.

Red Wing. I've had mine over 10 years. Complete water proof but I ride behind lowers. They come in H width for extra wide feet. 40 plus years working the flight line in USAF spread both feet with those boots we had to wear.

Take a look at Cabela's selection for outdoor/hiking. When I used to backpack with the scouts they had an extensive selection and good return policies.
