Been wearing Cruiserworks since 1999/2000

Feel like runners (tennis shoes?) light and flexable, waterproof like nothing I have ever had, what's not to like?

Their site says they will be in Fletcher NC 24 - 26 September... a short ride from Maggie Valley!

The most comfortable boot I've ever wore (yes, more comfortable than Cruiserworks) is the 9" Classic side zip Original Swat (several other Nor Cal members wear them, too).........   http://www.originalswat.com/productdetail.php?product_id=NTY=&category_id=MTA=

Just got my cruiserworks boots today brilliantly comfortable, well impressed, thanks for the tip Mr We.
They are one million per cent better than my H-D Iroquois High which are now on e-bay.

I wear the Original Swat boot also, but I am not a fan of the zipper located in the side of the boot. It has been my experience that the zippers seem to break on a regular basis, so I choose to return to the original lace up style.  They are by far the most comfortable boot I have ever worn for both riding and all around use....

I have never tried FXRG boots. but I have both original SWAT and Cruiser Works. Original SWAT are definitely more comfortable if your going to do a lot of walking. I'm an MSF instructor, so I'm on my feet on hot asphalt for a good part of each coaching day, and the SWATs are the boot of choice for that. However, for riding, then walking around a rally or something, the Cruiser Works are plenty comfortable and definitely more waterproof, which is a huge plus. I find that they have a better grip on the pavement than the SWATs. I just had my Cruiser Works resoled and they are like new.

If I remember correctly, though, you can but three pair of original SWATs for the price of a pair of Cruiser Works.

I'll have to check that out... I'm an MSF instructor as well and can't imagine being out on the asphalt all day with anything but my Cruiserworks, but there is always room for growth. Had mine resoled two years ago, they're good for another 50,000 miles anyway...  Now when y'all say SWAT boots, is that a brand name?

Last year we have had a 13 hour trip back home to Frankfurt/Germany from Flrence/Italie.
13 hours non stop heavy rain. The FXRG boots kept my feet dry all the time!!
I am glad to have them

Not the FXRG Boots, but the same style.  I get Tactical Boots from LA Police Gear (multiple vendors available).  You can get waterproof or not, zipper side or not and insulated or not.  Heights of 6", 7", 8" and 9". 

Personally I use the insulated boots year round, even in the South.  What keeps the cold away in the Winter also keeps the heat from the road and engine away in the Summer.

Lots of support for your ankles but comfortable enough to wear all day, even when not riding.

Just some thoughts.
