So wanted to see what kind of boots folks recommend on the spyder. I have a pair of Milwaukee's, but they are so heavy and not all day comfortable. Wanted to get some preferably not super pricey recommendations.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I have one set of heavy duty engineer boots. They might be Milwaukee. Been riding with them for 20 plus years. They are now on their second set of soles.
Also have a pair of Wellingtons with the zipper up the side. Have gone back to wearing them again this year. Not as heavy.
I am a boot person when it comes to riding any M/C. :thumbup:
Also have a pair of SIVI which are waterproof.

I have a pair of Chippewas (sp?) that I have had for years. Leather-lined and velcro closure. Very comfortable for all-day wear, but a little too warm for hot weather.

BRP's RT Touring boots are comfortable, and have kept my feet dry through more than their fair share of "Toad-Strangling" Storms! :thumbup:

I have several pairs of Bates and like them very much. Although not specifically motorcycle boots, their tactical line is excellent. They're well made, lightweight, comfortable and offer good support. They also don't make you look like you should be out in the forest chopping down trees.
wide...?
my legs dont work that good--if anyone knows shoes that are lightweight and where they open up widely to get my foot in--instead of a tight squeeze with laces--please let me know--i would sacrifice max protection for comfort and ease of putting them on and off

Sketchers Wide Fit
About a month ago I bought Sketchers Wide Fit sneakers and casual dress shoes. Most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned! No laces-easy to put on, good looking and extremely comfortable. I believe they make those in boots also. I’m gonna check soon and most likely buy them-if they have the protection I want (but I believe they do). It’s the shoe that Howie Long does the commercial. “It’s like first class for your feet”. Lol. Give them I try, I’m glad I did.

I wear a pair of Columbia boots. They are super comfy for walking around a park when I’m out riding (or I change into a pair of athletic shoes for walking).

Plus one on Sketchers, for my every day rides.......when I get on the road I use Bilt (Cycle Gear) waterproof boots. Both work well for me.

I wear Klim Outlander's. They're waterproof and super comfy, they're described as a combination m/c and hiking boot.
I've ridden with other, non m/c boots and agree they're more comfortable, but believe that in most cases, m/c specific boots will offer you more protection as they're designed to protect your feet in a crash whereas work/hiking/etc boots are not.

Look for a boot with a side zipper. I have Bates boots from working with the Fire Department/CERT, they are gore tex waterproof, composite toe and side zipper. They are very comfortable, protective and very easy on/off. Similar to THESE...

Maybe this is the answer for you, lace in boot zippers. https://www.thorogoodusa.com/product-category/accessories/page/2/. I use the 10 eye one on my Hathorn work boots. The boot opens wide to put my foot in and then zips up snug. After I zip them up I tie the laces. Works great. Firefighters use zipper boots so they can get them on quickly.
Here's a video showing how they work. Kind of long but shows them really well.

:thumbup: No problem the above mentioned Bates has several with normal lace & zippers along the inside of boot. Several brands are picking it up. I'm currently alternating between Day five for my casual/dress
& magnum 
if looks like rain. Plus just to help make them last longer (mine lucky to last a year) had some Bates they were good, but I ended up tearing the inside heals out(improper & lazy removal) these others were gifts & are doing well think were found at rack room.
