John,
I got a set of Prexport boots from Newenough.com for about $120. They rock! I wish they had a little more ankle protection but for the price what do ya want. I ordered a 14 and normally wear a 13. But, that has more to do with the conversion from the European sizes to English. Around size 12 they start to not correlate so well. I understand that the smaller sizes fit truer to size.

: Eddie -How does the size compare to regular sneaker size? Is a size 9 for instance the same as a size 9 sneaker or more like a 10 sneaker. Annie wanted to know because she fits a man 6-1/2 sneaker and there are some AGV boots availible in size 7 so she was curious. She is looking for a pair of black riding boots.

: : I told you that I ordered those Sprint boots for 40 bucks and would give some of you the "low down" on em... well here goes.. They are nice, however they don't come in half sizes.. at least that I saw. They go up to your calves and seem to provide good protection... Unlike tennis shoes you don't get wind piercing through your shoes.. they are not real form fitting around the leg but zip up and velcro for a bit of snugness. Only prob is that I don't have anything to compare these boots to because these are the first ones I have ever worn.. but hell for the price you can't beat em... I am still going to wearing my shoes for most commuting but for night riding and long rides I am gonna wear my new boots... hope this helps! For URL of site read past posts :)
