Anybody have any good recommendations for cold weather riding boots? It was 32F/0C when I rode into work this morning, and the giant holes in my worn out leather workboots made for some real real REAL cold toes, even with regular socks and wool socks

I'm going to go buy some new work boots tonight, but was wondering if anyone had the low down on some nice protective MX style boots, maybe for decent price, that will protect my footsies in the cold?



Thanks in advance,

These work well if you're going to change into something different when you get to work.

For your type of weather, Cabellas Pac-boots!



Not a riding boot but hold up well. I use Cabellas non insulated hunting boots with leather uppers for my riding boots. Waterproof too.



Get at least 1 size larger than normal, especially if you get the pac-boot with the wool inner liner (removable). The boot is 1200 grams of insulation & the liner adds 600 more grams of insulation.



I use a silk under sock against my skin and two pair of wool blend socks to help keep my feet warm in the insulated boots. I like to go into the mountains n the AZ winter to ride my ATV in the snow...

I have these and they work well with some good socks. They only take a few rides to break in and for the price they're hard to beat.

Composite safety toe waterproof insulated work boots with traction soles. I like the side-zip type and literally superglue the knots so they won't come unraveled. For extreme cold and/or long rides I have a pair a full size too big and wear 3 pairs of socks, 1 wicking, 2 insulating.

I use my dirtbike boots that are a size big with my best long wool socks. The big plastic wrap around on motocross boots cuts wind and water great. I also use old snowboarding pants as they have a very tight elastic gaiter that keeps wind from going up the leg, and huge cargo pockets.

If you can hang with wearing them, not many things are warmer or more windproof and waterproof than MX boots. The more plastic the better.

Thanks for all the good info! Now I just need to talk the wife into letting me buy a new pair of boots

maybe it will work if she gets a pair, too??

Just remember if you go down with anything but moto boots with the proper CE armor, you might not ride again. Hiking boots won't cut it getting drug on asphalt. I use Oxtar Infinity, good protection and warm, plus you can walk around all day in them. Spend a little more and be able to walk away.
