Ordered these last week. Came in two days. Zappos is great. Lightweight and so comfortable, out of the box. Easy to take off with the side zipper and a little higher, keeping water out. I'll also spray them down with water repellant spray from the Harley site.

Nice boots. Lucky you to find something that fits.

I'm on my third pair of motorcycle footwear.

Took the MSF Basic Rider course in my steel-toed work boots (laces). That was fine for the 2-day course in March and in the rain. When I rode them with my own personal bike, I didn't like how I couldn't get much feedback on shifting.

Warmer weather arrived and I switched to my lightweight hiking boots (also laces). A couple of times while out riding, I found myself with my laces undone or loosened. It was becoming a distraction when I should have been focused on the road and other drivers around me.

With no other ankle high footwear to choose from my closet, I bought a pair of Vega Metro Boots (womens) in black. The great thing is that they're just as light as my hiking boots and I have no distractions from the possibility of laces coming undone.

There is one issue that I have and I wonder if Velcro may not be as good as laces or zipper closure to keep the boots on in the event of bad spill. I don't know; am I being a little bit paranoid? Hope I'm making sense.

I prefer zipped up boots and absolutely no laces. Laces, to me, are a risk that is easy to negate.

I wear Sidi Jasmine Tepor boots and they fit the bill just right.
