American MotorcyclistCruiserworks Commando Boots - March 29, 2005 Since 1999, Cruiserworks has been building boots that combine traditional style with high-tech features. Now there's a new member of the line-the Commando, offering the look of military/police lace-up footwear. Let me admit my bias up front; I like the extra support and walking comfort of lace-up boots. And I really like the way the Cruiserworks version performs, on and off the bike. Like other Cruiserworks boots, the Commandos come with the company's shock resistant footbed, V-Grip outsole, Styrene toe guard, Kevlar blend ankle armor and Dri-Lex moisture-wicking liner. They also come with Cruiserworks' most amazing innovation-truly waterproof leather. Years ago, Cruiserworks' original Classic boots were responsible for the development of American Motorcyclist magazine's official "wade in the creek" waterproof test. They passed with flying colors then, and the Commandos proved equally impervious to moisture when I tried them recently. Best of all, the leather itself shed water, so the Commandos don't get soggy and heavy like boots that rely on a moisture barrier inside the leather. Besides that, the Commandos offer the flexibility of lace-ups. You can wear them inside or outside your riding pants while you're on the bike. And when you're off the bike, they're truly comfortable for walking, which means you probably won't need to pack and extra pair of shoes. Cruiserworks Commando boots are available in sizes 8 through 14 for $259 a pair. The similar Lady Lace model comes in women's sizes 5.5 to 11 for $229 a pair. Written by: Bill Wood |
