Riding boots / Heat issue with SpyderCity floorboard

[ron]

I just had the SpyderCity (a sponsor on this site) floorboards installed by my dealer and now have a heat issue on my feet - mainly right foot. I discovered this situation on my ride home from dealership while wearing my ankle height Harley motorcycle boots. My right leg was feeling rather warm through my riding pants. The floor boards are actually nice and I could apply the brake with my heel and I could have even downshifted with my left heel if need be.

Yesterday I rode with my Alpine high top riding boots that I always wore with my sport bike and while protecting me from the heat, I didn't have the flexibility that I have with my Harley boots. This was never an issue with my sport bike as I maintained the same riding position with it.

I am trying to find a FLEXIBLE AND COMFORTABLE high top woman's riding boot that is comfortable and doesn't feel like I am carrying 10 pounds on each foot. I know the heat will be a real issue when riding out to California, let alone around here in TN this summer, so I need heat protection for my feet/legs.

I have called SpyderCity and reported this heat issue with these floorboards to the woman who answered as I wanted to see if they have come up with any ideas around this, but I haven't heard back as of yet.

Any suggestions on boots that I could check into? Searching on Internet doesn't provide a wealth of information -- experience from other riders is much more helpful. Thanks!

Keep us informed on our heat shield kit the problem seems to be on the rt side only so we are redirecting and shielding the airflow path away from the rt foot in our kit -- keep us updated Ron

Boots

Check out Cruiserworks.com for boots. They have several styles most of which are 11 inch. Also women's styles. They are bit pricy but worth it IMHO. I am on my second pair of the Tour boots. Light and comfy and wearable all day.
