Tourmasters have been every bit as good as my Oxtar Matrix.

I've got two pairs of the Oxtar boots- I love them.  They are what I have been using for years.  I bought one pair new and loved them so much when I saw a used pair come up I snapped them up as well.

My father-in-law had a Concours six years ago, but he no longer rides.  He has a pair of Oxtar boots with Gore-Tex.  I took a look at them this weekend and they fit perfectly.  I asked if he'd consider selling them to me.  He said, "well, I still might use them in the future".  That's his way of nicely saying, 'no'. 

Apparently, he hopes to buy a Goldwing at some point.  However, there is no space to park it in the condo garage. Not saying he won't ever get another motorcycle, but I think it is a dim possibility.   

My in-laws are the best I could ask for, but they have a habit of holding onto things.  It saddens me to see functional things sitting around collecting dust when they could otherwise but put to good use by others (not just me). 

Since his touring boots are off the table, I chose the AeroMoto Renegade boots.  Currently, my size isn't available.  I did call and they said they will be restocked, but once their inventory of sizes runs a bit lower.  So now its a waiting game until I can purchase them.

They're also excellent for shoveling snow, getting stuff from a wet basement, and when they're old and beat up, the no-slip sole is great for winter use in the garage.

I have a pair that's about ~12 years old that are my lawn-cuttin'-snow-shovelin'-winter-garage-working boots.  :thumbsup:
