I want and need support and protection over the calf of my legs. There are few non-custom boots that fill that need and these RideTecs are superior. That badly damaged foot requires a side zipper and extra size for me because the lack of range of motion and permanent swelling demand it.Sneakers, low boots, even 11" high boots if you can find them don't cut it.I unpacked these and slipped them on.I wore them the whole first day in comfort. No stiffness. The same the next day, and the next.The cushion in the boot is amazing in how it molds to the foot and makes you feel like you're walking on air.These are biker/engineer boots and have all of the reinforcement and adjustment of the historic boot. The instep strap has a bit of extra length to add a bit of balance to the buckle. The bottom of the boot has just a bit of extra border (?) that makes the boot more stable, ready to get down to business.One drawback was in the shipping. A 16" boot needs an internal support that comes up the full 16". Mine had an 8" support floating about in the bottom which meant the shafts are creased flat. As I cuff my boots, this creates a rather noticeable folded edge in the front and back. They are unsightly bloused.I hope I can work that out.

Update 2024-JUL. I have tried to order more Ridetecs because they are getting a little worn, but I keep receiving AdTec design instead, and it is not acceptable. Please read on this update for details. see images.2024-07-22: I Ordered one pair of Ridetecs brand 1443ZIPPER. I was careful to order the Ridetecs, noting the fire symbols on the sole and other images in the ad (such as the toe box shape). These are not to be confused with AdTec brand which has narrower, more pointy toe box and has rectangular symbols on the sole.To clarify:‘real’ or ‘true’ Ridetecs brand has a fire logo on the sole and a wide round toe boxAdTec brand has a rectangular logo on the sole and narrower, more pointy toe.Unfortunately, the narrow toe does not fit me and are uncomfortable. (Additionally, the classic ‘engineer boot’, which is what these biker boots are, should have wide, roomy, rounded toes, not narrow like a pointy western boot. -and western is not my style anyway)Immediately after receiving these, I did additional research, and they are actually different models, differently made boots, apparently made on different lasts (accounting for the differences in toe box), and are made by the same company, apparently “AdTecâ€, as both are shown on their web site.But, AdTec has changed the boot which they now are selling as a Ridetecs boot and using the original Ridetecs model number 1443ZIPPER to sell the original narrow-toe AdTec model, and the sellers are still using the Ridetecs images, so it is misleading as to what you may receive. I communicated directly with AdTec using their web form to inquire, and received no response after a week. Perhaps the original Ridetecs has been discontinued. I have no answers from anyone and returned the boots. It is a shame as I like the original Ridetecs because of the reasons stated, have owned two pairs, and would buy them again if possible.So, if you like a roomy wide toe, and/or don’t like narrow, western style toes, don’t buy these without making absolutely sure what you are going to get.Thank you for attention to this tricky and annoying problem.-------------------------------------------------------------------Update 2024: still going good. In good shape, nothing's broken yet.Update SEP 2020: Still in good shape. Definitely worth the money.Update AUG 1, 2019: After having these almost 8 months, I am still very happy with them.DEC 8, 2018The correct way to measure a boot height for fitting is from the footbed to the top of the boot.The height is 14.5".The 16" claimed is from the floor to the top, so includes the sole and the heel thickness.These are a great value for the money. I'd buy again.

My 30 year old Chippewas just got too hard to pull on. Nowadays there are zippers. These boots look good and are easy to get on. Yes, they are wide at the top, but my jeans or leather breeches fill them up. Great boots for leather nights.
