Definatly, I cant wait to get riding in those boots. I have been holding out because I was wearing tall steel toed work boots. :coocoo: They werent the worst thing I could have worn but all that was available to me. My whole paycheck is being blown on these boots. :( It will be worth it though.Okiewan said:Make sure to post your thoughts when you get them.
That's kind of a worthless option to the poll ... it could be said about everything any of us buy.but are still paying more than they're worth.
kmccune said:I have to disagree with the last comment ( sorry) But you should get the best boots that you can afford, whether you are a pro or just trail ride once in awhile. Imagine, going trail riding with the family Sunday and the emergency room Sunday afternoon, then calling your boss Monday morning! And depending on your job, not working for awhile....

I bought an inexpensive pair of Fox Trackers. First, they do provide more protection than a pair of work boots. However, they are not as comfortable as a well worn set of work boots. So it was work boots I was wearing 5 weeks ago while I was play riding with my brother in a recently cleared field near his home. I came down wrong over a very small jump and took my left foot off the peg and smacked my foot into the dirt heel first. That was February 17th.
It has now been 5 weeks, and the bill for the first ER visit was over 6000 dollars. The second visit to the hospital 10 days later for the surgery to piece my heel back together with titanium plates and screws is well over 20,000 and I haven't even seen the bill for the surgeon yet. The total bill will top $35,000 I am sure. I cannot bear weight on the foot for another 4-5 weeks, will have to rehab it for weeks to build up the strength in the leg again, and likely will not be trying to ride again until June. :yikes:
And when I do, it will be while wearing a nice new pair of Sidi or Gaerne boots that fit well and protect me to the fullest. Yes, cheaper boots offer more protection than "work boots", but only if they are worn every time. Thankfully, my share of this bill will only be in the 2000 dollar range thanks to some good medical insurance.
Looking back, if I had known this was in my immediate future, I would have gladly paid $500 for a good pair of boots if it would have spared me this intense pain and 3 months of down time. If you don't have good medical insurance and if you don't have good disability insurance, you could end up paying twenty, thirty-thousand or more if you need an ortho surgeon...
If that doesn't make someone feel like spending an extra $100 or $200 toward their riding boots, I don't know what will. :bang:
