Fat Boots - Reccommendation
« on: Today at 02:46:43 PM »
As I have aged, I have found that sections of my formerly rippling torso have shifted southward.  I find it increasingly more difficult to zip up my riding boots as the diameter of my calves have adjusted.  I have nice boots from Dainese and from Alpinestars which are getting impossible to wear.  Does anyone have a recommendation for boot brands (waterproof) that are more tolerant or more comfortable for leg diameter increase?  These boots fit my feet fine, but zipping is near impossible.

Forma or BMW. I have very big calves and wide feet so Italian boots like Sidi just wont fit me. I few years ago I discovered Forma boots which I found very comfortable and fit well. Then Max BMW had some sale on BMW Gortex Heavy Duty boots for just $150. The BMW boots are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. They have been my go to boots for the last 2 years. The still have no sign of wear.

Might give Richa boots a look. I use a boot of theirs that is velcro closure only, not sure they're made anymore. I have the opposite problem, zipper boots are never snug enough for me.

    Go to Google. Type in "Motorcycle boots for large calves". A few vendors.

     You can take the boots to a shoemaker and have inserts sewn in to widen the uppers.
