Today was sunny and warm. I rode about 200 miles. I wore leather high top chucks....Different ones from last Sunday.
I have a half dozen or so pairs of Red Wings. These were my first from 15 years ago. I lost them maybe 2-3 years ago and thought they were goners.
My wife was going thru some old clothes in the basement and said “are these the stupid boots you have been bugging me about?”
Ahhhh. My old friends. Quick treatment and off I went today.
Such amazing boots. Due for a resole in a year or two… unless she “loses” them again.

What kind of bike you got? And what size foot?
That one's a Road King. Fantastic machine. 102k miles and going strong....Size 12.
Nice. I’ve got a Low Rider S. Previously a Road Glide. I have some nice size 9 riding shoes I’m trying to get rid of. Thought you might be the size.
Looks like I am outgunned with my Solex 2200 ... but then I am outgunned by everything with my Solex 2200
Another rainy morning lets see how well they will cope

Often imitated, but never duplicated. Truly a classic.
I’ve always had the Nike Cortez on my list (along with the Nike Low Blazer ‘77) but have yet to pull the trigger.
@Marco , how do you find the fit and feel of the Cortez with their seemingly narrow profile?
Fit is perfect for me because I have normal/narrow feet (never had the need for a larger last on any of my shoes).
That said, I already have 2 Cortez models and desire more. Here below a couple I'm interested in.
The first Cortez above (white, light blue, tan) are going to be released this summer and already know I can find them here in Italy, too. The second Cortez below are called "Voodoo" and apparently they are for the American market only. However, I hope to find them in New York City this summer (yes, I'm coming to the US!).

Another cloudy / rainy day down here ... we need the water
I managed to have the shoes, socks and belt matching this week ... This is progress

When I first saw the picture, I thought it was the Burwood by Church’s.
Very nice, Marco. The Polentatt certainly takes it up a notch.
Today… another shoe from our Italian friends at Astorflex. This is a new pair of the Brownflex chukka in Ebano leather. These are made for and sold exclusively at Huckberry. (More pics and further comments in the Desert Boot thread).
Robert, do you want to laugh loudly? Church's has moved part of its production to Italy in the Marche Region, EXACTLY where Velasca shoes are manufactured...
It’s uncanny, isn’t it? And Mrs. Gold says I don’t pay attention.
(…. but she’s still adorable.
