Off topic: But...

Cowboy boots are another article of clothing. I always wore engineer or wellingtons when aboard any motorcycle or Spyder. They offer some protection but are not foolproof. I survived 59 years without getting injured or being involved in a motorcycle accident with injuries.

I own at least 7 pairs of "nice" cowboy boots. I even have some with nice colors on them. I usually wear them to church and coordinate with my suit color of the day. They don't make me a cowboy, but they look nice at certain times. My original purchase is now 30 years old and they still look like new.
