got a great deal at Red Wing for these boots (model 1668) for $109!

Old tour master boots were comfortable and great protective around the ankle, but I felt I needed something with more grip- and butch factor.
easy on, off too

Pleeeze let us ladies know how ya like 'em. I have tourmasters now that are being raised in the heel/sole because of the protection they provide. But I've been investigating other booties too....and the pair you got was one of them.
Say, how high is that heel? And grip power.....good?

the Red Wing heel is 1 1/4 ", which took a bit getting used to since the Tourmasters have no heel at all. My ankles are covered in the new Red Wing, but I feel a little naked as they don't have the added "protection' over the ankle like the Tourmasters.

So far, I like them a lot, and I couldn't beat the price. I have 2 of everything; boots, gloves, helmets, jackets... but only 1 scooter

Thanks to Laura W. for recommending the boots, she has the same pair.
