I just ordered them to replace my fryes (that just never seem to be comfortable for me). These are sleeker and lighter than the Frye Veronica shortie, at the same height. Amazing buttery soft leather upper &amp; lining, Vibram Sole. soft insole. But no buckles</p> <p><a href="http://www.sierratradingpost.com/blackstone-aw06-boots-leather-for-women~p~8308r/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sierratradingpost.c.....n~p~8308r/</a></p> <p><a href="http://blackstoneshoes.com/" rel="nofollow">http://blackstoneshoes.com/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1397809 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 20:43:39 +0000 gryffin 1397809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These might be shorter in the shaft than you are looking for.&nbsp; They are the Uggs Finney.&nbsp; Divinely comfortable, nice tread, refined moto.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.zappos.com/ugg-finney-black-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/ugg-finney-black-leather</a>&nbsp; Uggs has other boots that I have not tried with moto styling.&nbsp; I have a pair from 3 yo quilted chanel meets moto and those are favs too.&nbsp; Might be worth checking out.&nbsp; Good luck on the hunt.&nbsp; PS I find uggs toe box roomier than LC.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1397146 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 15:50:20 +0000 Parsley 1397146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these Stuart Weitzmans and they have been my absolute favorite boot, to the point that I hardly want to wear anything else. I put Superfeet insoles in them, and can walk all day in them,&nbsp;through all kinds of weather.&nbsp;<br />The sole is not a heavy lug sole, but it is ridged rubber, and has worked well in winter conditions&nbsp;(not deep snow, obviously).</p> <p>I like mine so much that I duplicated them, at full price, even. Which I don't think I've ever done! Now they're on sale at Bloomingdales. I suppose it would be excessive to get them in tan, too? :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1397090 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 12:26:18 +0000 viva 1397090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, avettestingray, those gasolina boots are AMAZING. I may like them even more than the Jimmys! Thank you for the link! Now I have to see if I can make the money work after all my recent spending. </p> <p>GORGEOUS. </p> <p>How do they fit?

They sit up high, no drooping , not stiff , and the hardware provides that extra bit of bling that lifts up winter gear. &nbsp;I kept unashamedly checking myself out in any mirror I passed - pretty pleased with myself :)</p> <p>This is now my second pair of motos - I have a plainer pair (also black) with a silver buckle, and wore those babies every weekend for a few years. &nbsp;I'm even thinking I can wear my fancy new VC's with a skirt or dress - they are that cool :)</p> <p>Someone please come and take away my debit card. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396854 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 20:50:20 +0000 Inge 1396854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are three more, Viva.

Not sure I like the sole color, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396845 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 20:32:58 +0000 catseye 1396845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am reading this thread with interests.&nbsp;</p> <p>For some reason, the Sweeties are not comfortable for me. I am not sure why. I also bought them. I may have to return them. They would have been perfect for the snow and rain we are going to get soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396838 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 20:21:12 +0000 Suz 1396838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Sweeties feel positively clunky to me. Seriously. They're lightweight, and (I guess) as refined as biker boots get -- but they still feel like BOOTS vs. booties, if you know what I mean. But they (and their Aquatalia sibs.)&nbsp;&nbsp;are very pricey now that the sale is over.&nbsp;</p> <p>Those J. Crews look good......hmmmm.....</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396826 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 20:01:57 +0000 viva 1396826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, for me both Docs and Fryes err too much on the heavy / rugged side. Plus, I have two pairs of Fryes so I want to expand a little. Silly, maybe. :)</p> <p>And Suz, I thought about the Sweeties, but I think they might err too much on the refined side.</p> <p>Ummlila, JCrew does have these. They look potentially good but possibly too short in the shaft. Have to check on the sole too. Thanks for the suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396820 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 19:49:41 +0000 Janet 1396820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, I was all ready to recommend the Frye Engineers, but then I saw "no Fryes or Docs." Do they not work for you because of fit issues? </p> <p>I like the Paul Greens but agree with Ummlila, I'd rather see them in leather than suede. I'm also not a fan of bright gold on this style of boot (the shiny seems incongruous with the rugged style, to my eye), but I'll keep an eye out for more options for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396819 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 19:49:04 +0000 Suz 1396819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, those Jimmy Choos really are the standard, aren't they?&nbsp;</p> <p>I got and returned the Aquatalia Sweeties last year at the NAS&nbsp;-- and then regretted returning them. So this year when they reappeared, I got them again. I really love them. Super useful -- already. I have worn them a fair bit in the rain. I'm now looking for a similar boot in a lighter tone -- grey or taupe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Back to your choices. I think they are all worth trying. You can't really tell until you have them on your feet how they are going to feel. So I would order away.&nbsp;</p> <p>I currently own two pair of VC shoes and they are surprisingly comfortable, FWIW.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396816 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 19:45:47 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1396816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Among your choices, I like the look of the Paul Greens best (though I would like better if they were leather and not suede). I have a pair of "Miller"&nbsp;motorcycle boots from JCrew a few years ago&nbsp;that I love (unfortunately DD has largely taken them over and they are worse for the wear as a result). I do not think they are lug soled, though. </p> <p></p> <p>I wear size 8.5 too.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-moto-boots#post-1396813 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 19:38:42 +0000 viva 1396813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So .... sad news that I have to give up my La Canadienne Saras (see Style Exchange). And that also means that I need a new pair of fashion-friendly boots that are also at least somewhat winter-friendly. Enter the moto. </p> <p>So, funny story. A couple of years ago, my husband and I were waiting in line for a movie, and I stalked a woman until I got up the courage to ask her about her FAB boots. They looked just about perfect to me in every way. And of course, they were Jimmy Choos. Those motos have become the gold standard for me.</p> <p>What I am now looking for is a pair like them, but much much less expensive. </p> <p><b>A mix of tough and refined</b> <br /><b>Mid-calf height</b><br /><b>Straight shaft -- not droopy or flared out</b><br /><b>Minimal accoutrements, but some buckles/bling is okay</b><br /><b>Probably black, but could go with another dark color</b><br /><b>Must have lug sole to get through sleet and snow and muck</b><br /><b>Not Docs or Fryes</b></p> <p>Note that <b>I am NOT looking for snow boots</b> -- just something stylish that I can wear when conditions are not ideal, that can accommodate my need for toe room, and with which I can wear a warm sock.</p> <p>I've found these below. Any thoughts?&nbsp; (The Jimmy Choos, for comparison, are first in line.)</p>
