Any Suggestions for new Riding Footwear?

I had to retire my Milwaukee Leather boots after too many years to remember. I tried Keen leather work boots, but comfort wasn't there. I found the brand "Brunt" work boot. 6" leather boot, so comfortable, I can wear them to walk the dog in, so they are great for hikes off the bike. I used beeswax to "waterproof" them, but still wear the rain overboots if we are goign to get soaked.

I have a few pair of boots from my two wheel days. On my Spyder, I wear sneakers or regular shoes. The chances of ending up on the pavement are far lower than when on two wheels, so I just take my chances. Five years and about 30,000 miles and so far so good. And most of the time I wear fingerless gloves that I bought at the local HD dealership. And just jeans for pants. But I do wear a jacket unless the weather is really warm. I'm a former MSF Instructor but on the Spyder I gave up on ATGATT as too much hassle.

Oh no, the ATGATT police will arrest you! Lol

If I'm not comfortable in the mind (extremely important) I wont ride until thats resolved.
If I get on my F3S and my riding gear is not comfortable for the temp I will definitely not go ATGATT. I usually am pretty close, but in the summer I feel the most comfortable in sneakers, jeans, T-shirt and armored jacket of some type, and always gloves and the brain bucket.
Im wearing sneakers the majority of the time because my ankle is fused, so I can't use the foot brake very good if im wearing a shoe ( boots generally) that limit my range of motion of my foot. Its real scarry when you need to brake and your foot wont rise up enough or slide over to the brake pad during a panic stop. It still happens on occasion. I always wear dedicated boots when traveling long distances, which lately I dont do a lot of. Ive rode like this since the 60's and Im still riding.
So ATGATT Police need not bother me. Lol
A side note, I had to wear Hightop steel toe boots for 22 years in the military, and my feet still long for a comfortable sneaker on a ride.
