Peru, IN | I think the ripple sole jungle boots are pretty comfortable but the Panama sole (original design) were horribly uncomfortable. Nice and cool, though. |

Gout results from high uric acid levels....to much red meat is a common culprit. Motorcycle riding does not cause Gout.
Nobody said it did. Having gout can make shifting a toe shifter painful however, as some of us know. The OP asked what could be done about relieving the pain experienced while shifting. Suggestions included possible medical treatment for gout, and a heel shifter.
EGA44, how would these replies be any different than someone replying to a question about back pain and a different seat or different handlebars, or a different windshield to reduce buffeting? It all relates to a more enjoyable riding experience.

Exactly! Well spoken. |

I recently bought the best pair of boots for my wife and I that I have EVER worn. The boot was recommended by a Motorcycle Training Officer. He is co owner of the Ride Like a Pro franchise in NJ.
The boot runs around $129 for the mens boot but it is WORTH EVERY PENNY.
Manufacturer? Magnum
Style: Stealth Force.
I choose the side zipper/waterproof. (fyi....I've worn them during torrential rainstorms for hours and my feet were kept perfectly dry)
You can also get a composite toe. Its better, lighter and offers more protection than a steel toe. Its a composite material that includes Kevlar.
When I get ready for boots , I will definately check these out. You should get commission  |

Sand Rock, AL United States | the zip and water proof mens model looks more like $169. I like a boot with a stacked heel for stability and confidence on the bike (i'm 5'6"). The heel looks a little low for me.

Generally, yes.
I've had gout issues on and off since 1984. Except for the first time, every flare-up I had was induced by stressful events.
If you do have gout, black cherry concentrate tablets also work wonders to help you avoid prescription meds for gout.
Good luck. |

| If you're looking for motorcycle boots, take a look at Allegiance Footwear (AFBoots).
They make a bunch of different styles including combat style.
My wife & I both wear them and LOVE them. $140 for the black battalion boots.
Super comfortable, non-skid soles and very waterproof. These are the first motorcycle boots we've had where our feet did not sweat, or get wet from rain.
Between my wife and I we have six different boot/shoe styles made by them.
Best of all, they're MADE IN TENNESSEE, USA. |
