Just got a Corbin seat and needed some more heigth (the Corbin is wider in the front part of the seat and I could only touch the ground on my toes.) Found these boots at leatherup.com and the first impressions, they look pretty good. They've got some of the thickest leather I've seen on a pair of boots in quite a while. They also have about a 1 inch sole and 2 inch heel (you could probably get a goldfish in there), but I'm back to flat footing on the bike. I'll keep everyone posted on how they break in and long term impressions. Oh yeah, they only cost $75.00.
