BLM777.......Hub ain't the only one that's got a 'boot-jones', but sounds like you're worse off than us both. Tell me more about this custom boot maker that you're hooked up with......do I have to go to Texas to get measured? I've been wearing Olatha's out of Kansas as well as all the others that you can find stocked in boot shops. I've got some western style boots that I've changed the leather soles to a thin, working sole to ride scooters in....works well for traction and you still get to wear the better looking boots. I've found that the sharkskin and stingray are 'bulletproof' skins to ride scooters in and not tear. I agree w/ you but my wife doesn't understand the 'you can't have too many boots' theory. Har!

Spyder...my wife doesn't really buy into the 3 or 4 a year deal either, but I guess she doesn't like the thought of servicing her own bike either so it just keeps hummin' along. You really don't have to go to TX, but don't tell mama. I use the "feet are changing" scam to escape FL and get back to mesguite BBQ and folks that understand me. He's got a chart and pattern system that you can use (with some help) to get the exact measurements he needs to form fit. Takes about an hour to get it right, but after that just pick up the phone and say "send boots".
The gentleman I use is Armando's Boot Co. and his sons, who are growing up in the business. I'll give him a call if you like and see if he's taking any new customers. If you aren't in a big hurry, I think we can get him hooked up. By the way, if you want to design your own boots, he has an artist (family) working out of Ryan's in the Stockyards in Fort Worth. They do the layout, custom stitching, color combos and logo's, brands and such.
Let me know and I'll do what I can to get you going.
