I would suggest the MOST IMPORTANT THING with boots is how they fit your feet.
DO make sure your boots allow for reasonably thick socks with probably a thin under-sock. (I won't go into this topic since I really don't know what I am talking about.) My BMW Allrounds are a size 45. I wear 10.5 size shoes. There is enough room at any time of the year for a fairly thick sock and my toes don't get cold after an hour of riding until the temp is close to freezing. This, of course, is another meaningless fact. Your blood circulation to the toes may be much better (or worse) than mine.
"Live and learn" is still the order of the day. Can only hope the OP takes away some useful ideas.
All this talk about fit, yet no one linked to a boot that comes with REAL sizes. I am an 11 WIDE. I have been told, "they run wide"...BS. I want a boot that is an 11 WIDE, or E.
I can find Chippewa in an 11 WIDE; but would like a waterproof boot in 11 WIDE.
Does anyone have experience with finding a boot that is wide and is waterproof?
