You may have seen these in ome of the Motorcycle Mags. Gasolina Boots, handmade in Mexico. The Gist: Excellent quality and workmanship. Very cool looking and VERY comfortable!

The Whole Story (for those with time...)
I have always ridden with boots, but they have always been old flight deck boots from my Navy days or a low "boondocker", or an inexpensive "jungle" boot.
These looked so good, I had to check them out! I corresponded with Todd Fell, a Honda rider (and publisher) who works with the family in Mexico that makes these.
Via email I got a sheet for tracing my foot and entering the measurements to email back.
I sent off the sheet and through PayPal sent my $179 +$15 shipping. Todd wrote back that I had a fat foot. (Well, what he really said was that mine were not in stock and would be made to order).
4 weeks later, Todd has ridden across the border to UPS my boots. They fit like a freakin' glove and are snug, but not tight. They are very comfortable, I may wear them all the time - the Steampunk look!
Highly recommended if you are looking for a very special and comfortable boot. The outsides have a shifter toe, and reinforced tough leather with a Vibram-Like sole. The upper boot is completely lined and soft as a baby's butt!
I really can't say enough good things about these boots. I hope to wear them out!
(Use a shoehorn to get your heel in without damaging the boot, back by the zipper.)
