Booo. </p> <p>I found a Joe Rocket pair with a decent hidden wedge, but the hubby vetoed it on the grounds that they're ugly and don't look like anything I'd wear any other time. </p> <p>However, he did suggest Dr. Martens, which I have had great success with (I have 2 pairs that are almost 20 years old that I still wear, in the traditional 3- and 8-eye). I found these:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RDRXBA/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004R.....25410_item</a><br /> Which I am hoping will meet both the need to replace a pair of faux-suede knee-high boots and my riding needs. They have universally high reviews, cover the ankles without a bunch of geegaws that will hurt if I'm run over, and the heel that I need. Other options I'm keeping in the hopper as I ponder: </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BCPHZ6E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;smid=A3B4LZ0SELNSA1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....LZ0SELNSA1</a><br /> (I'm not sure about the fur bit, but everything else rings my bells)<br /> and<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FDO39E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER</a><br /> A feminised version of my old standbys, with added bonus of zippers into, to ease the pain of a 14-eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-motorcyclists-in-the-house#post-1026217 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 23:19:21 +0000 Desmo April 1026217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool.

They seem to be the only company that addresses the needs of a passenger. Not all of them are super logo-ed up. I have a pair that I use sometimes and I don't have a Harley.</p> <p></p> <p>Here are two that fit your heel height range with slightly different styles.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-motorcyclists-in-the-house#post-1025016 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:55:18 +0000 AnnieMouse 1025016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet &amp; Desmo, I'm a passenger (hence the pipe remark), so I don't need a toe layer for shifting. I'm replacing a pair of boots I've had for - literally - 15 years. They were a gift my my motorcycle-riding daddy, before he died.&nbsp;I tried to find a picture, but I can't find anything similar online (because: 15 years old). </p> <p>I have really short legs, so I have to have a heel to wear my riding jeans or chaps (tried hemming them, and that was just a mess). </p> <p>Fortunately, I'm in a relatively mild climate, so I don't need hardcore winter gear, but I *do* want to not drag my pants behind me when I'm not on the bike.&nbsp;I don't&nbsp;really&nbsp;care of they look motorcycle-y, and I'm not a fan of the styling on most boots (I'll let the fellas wear the moon boots). </p> <p>Tall order, I know.&nbsp;If I have to wear moon boots and let the pants drag, I will . It's not my preference, but having been driven over once, I do want them to be satefy gear to some degree and not just about the fashion - but I would prefer they have a modicum of style. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-motorcyclists-in-the-house#post-1024972 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:07:24 +0000 Desmo April 1024972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Motorcycle addict here!</p> <p>That much of a heel in legit motorcycle boots is a tall order. Most tend to be in the 1 to 1.5 range. I use Sidi Vertigo Leis for my track boots and TCX Airtechs for everyday riding. What boots are you looking to replace?</p> <p>Icon used to make some but they seem to be done. There are a few pairs of the Hella boots on closeout on the regular sites. The look like the bare minimum for protection<br />Hella Boots<br /><a href="http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/14/68/916/16919/ITEM/Icon-Womens-Hella-Boots.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.motorcycle-supersto.....Boots.aspx</a></p> <p>That's a start. I can go on and on about bikes and motorcycle gear!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-motorcyclists-in-the-house#post-1024937 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:21:19 +0000 Janet 1024937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just as a passenger. Hubs has two Indians. A little big for me to ride, and I kind of prefer letting him do the driving anyway. </p> <p>The boot question is a good one though. I think Aida rides, but I haven't seen her around here in ages. I do know I would love a Belstaff jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-motorcyclists-in-the-house#post-1024932 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:17:44 +0000 AnnieMouse 1024932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is often a lot of chat about moto-inspired pieces, but I was wondering if there are any lady riders in the house? </p> <p>If so, I need your help! My much-beloved riding boots are on their way to the great swapmeet in the sky, and I am soliciting suggestions for replacements. </p> <p>Requirements: shorter shaft (just above the ankle preferred), 2.5-3" heel (shorter, and my raiding pants all drag; longer, and I bump my pipes), real leather, preferably with safety elements (protected toe, steel plate in sole, etc), no obvious logoed badging (which means most&nbsp;Harley stuff is out). </p> <p>I have a pair of Frye harness boots to get my through in the interim, but I don't prefer them for riding, interestingly. </p> <p>Thanks in advance, if anyone has thoughts/ suggestions. </p>
