Aerostich Combat Touring Boots

Love my boots..I've had them for about six years and would like to know how to go about having them resoled with original material since they have worn so well

Have had these boots for several years now. They are comfortable, the break in was not bad. Very watertight; have never gotten wet feet. A very good value. Only negatives: the velcro on the closure wore out; shoe repair store replaced it for $25. I have high arches, it is just a bit tight over the top of the arch. Otherwise fit is great.

I have had the CTBs for about 9 months and 10k mikes. Could not be happier with them. If you follow the instructions break-in is not an issue. Very supportive and adjustable. I clean mine with saddle soap and apply Chelsey Leather Food. Recently rode through a downpour for several hours. Everthing but my feet was wet. Not a drop of rain reached my feet. Very satisfied.

Well I picked my boots up about 6 years ago and have over 100,000 miles on them. With three trips to the east coast and back to the west coast and many shorter trips in the north west and south west they are still a little stiff. I haven't replaced the soles yet but that is coming this year before the next 5000 mile trip. I have had many 250$ boots and these for what they are designed for are really super. I feel secure in them and always have them on when riding. Yes even in town. they are easy to get in and out of feel good on while riding and well are a well made boot. My wife picked up a pair but they are to big. she needed a size 6 she still has them on, on the long rides. Im sure there are more water proof (these are not) boots and a lot more supple boot out there but none that will take a rock in the ankle or shin and "really" protect you. So If you want something to take you to the ends of the dirt and oil with out getting your body beat up these are the ones. by the way these are for riding NOT walking.

Being a loyal Aerostich customer, I wasn't worried about quality on these but I was concerned about the fit and break in. Neither was a problem I usually have a hard time getting well fitting shoes (wide feet with a high instep) but the CTs are incredibly adjustable due to the ratcheting buckle and speed lace system. It took a couple of wearings to get a feel for how tight to set them but now they fit like a dream.

I think the break in effort was pretty exaggerated. They are stiff when new, but anyone who's broken in a pair of Corcoran jump boots, Herman Survivor work boots, or Chippewa mountaineering boots has dealt with worse. I've got about a dozen wearings, totaling about 48 hours, and they are already very comfortable. They had softened up and begun to flex by the end of the second wearing. These are still a fairly stiff boot and I expect that they'll stay that way (just like the ones I mentioned above).
The only nuisance I've found is that, with the stiffer sole and thicker toe box, it's a tight fit under the shifter (I'll probably adjust the lever eventually).
Overall these are superb boots with excellent protection (and they really do disappear under a regular pair of jeans). They're pricey, but well worth it; besides, when's the last time you fell in love with a piece of cheap kit?
