I purchased these boots for wearing when riding my motorcycle. I commute no matter what the weather. The boots are incredibly comfortable. They give excellent ankle support and foot support while still being flexible and comfortable enough to walk around all day in. This last December my wife and I rode our motorcycles on a 500 mile 34th anniversary weekend. I did not bring another pair of shoes because I knew we would be doing a good deal of walking at our destination and these are simply the most supportive, most comfortable, and easiest to put on boots or shoes I own (The zipper sides are great). I have worn numerous brands of 8" work and tactical boots over the years and these are simply the best. I also like the fact that the 13W boots I purchased were a true boot size not the modern "running shoe boot size" so many companies use these days.

For me I need to order running shoes and modern athletic shoes one size larger then my work boot/dress shoe size. The reason I mention this is because if you normally wear running or athletic shoes and use them as a reference for your shoe size. Then these Ridge 9000 Ultimate Zipper Boots may seem to run large to you.

After almost a year and a half of ownership I can say I have ridden and walked for hours in heavy rain and my feet have always stayed warm and dry. While these are not insulated, I have never had a problem with my feet staying warm even when riding in So Cal mountains in winter when the temps are in the 30's.
