Back in the 80s I wore a pair of Derryboots, utterly comfortable and warm, just like wearing carpet slippers but with as much protection. Then I bought a pair of Altberg touring boots, OK but with my high instep, always a bugger to put on sometimes taking two minutes to get each boot on. After fifteen years of struggling I decided to go up one size and bought a pair of lace-up Altberg Field & Fell. Not bad to walk around in but still a bloody struggle to get into them. I'm now thinking of returning to Derryboots to give them another try. The waterproofness would be an advantage, also the ease they can be slipped on and off. Image is not something which concerns me, just comfort. Derryboots used to market boots simply called (I think) 'Motorcycle Boots' which resembled proper motorcycle boots but molded in their rubber/vinyl but I haven't seen these around for years.
