Corbin Roadmaster Boots - I already have a 12" high pair of these and they are my go to boot for ALL of my riding. Good styling and very comfy - not to mention durable and well made.

I was Googling around for a backup pair and found them at some shoe flea market store in NC. I just sent them a USPS money order for $66.40 to get a pair. They only had the 9" high ones in my size (10) but I'll use those as my summer boots now.

Drop the guy an email to see if he has your size.

The boots: http://home.triad.rr.com/shoecare/corbin.htm

Here's the dude's email: shoerepair@triad.rr.com


(OTG: You need a pair of these. Wink )

I dropped the guy an email, but I severely doubt that he has a US 14 wide 12" high boot. Shocked

I guess I should've asked about PayPal. Oh, well, no biggie.

Guys,

I've been using these boots for a few days now. They are AWESOME. I've always been a cheapstake and used $50 Caterpillar steel toe workboots on my bike. Now I can have a great pair of real motorcycle shoes for about the same $$ They are certainly comfortable enough to walk around the office.

I got the 9" version. Cant see a use for the bigger one personally.

Ok guys, it was hard to tell from the pic's, do they zip up the inside edge?
How do you think they will handle rain/wet riding?

Yes, they zip up the inside like a lot of boots.

Not 100% waterprrof but not too bad.

No thanks, that almost happened three weeks ago when I went down on the Harley. There is a deep slice across the toe of the boot about 2" from the tip. Fortunately, I was wearing my 5.11 Tactical ATAC Shield boots with the composite hard toe. They're essentially SWAT boots.

The gear nazis on another board flamed me for being so bold as to wear non-medieval, unarmored boots that were... gasp ... comfortable enough to wear all day! And yet that very decision could well have saved my toes. None of my 'motorcycle' boots have hard toes.

My replacement pair arrived today. Smile

If anyone's interested, I got them here:
