Let's see your boots

In preparation for a new (used) motorcycle purchase, my ever supportive bride bought me a pair of boots. Just cheapies, short 8" harness style boots to wear while riding my first, ever strictly street motorcycle. The left boot was a little tight so I've been wearing the heck out of them to break them in and loosen them up some and now I'm finding boots to be the thing ever LOL. I'd heard that the worst thing you can do to your feet is live in flat soled shoes and I have to admit that the pull-on boot is just so much faster for times like taking the dog outside. Anyway like I said these are just cheapies but so far so good.
If any of you are living in boots I'd like to hear all about them and see some pics.

P.s.
To loosen up a boot, pour rubbing alcohol on your sock and wear the boot. The alcohol seems to loosen the leather and help it conform to your foot. I did this 3 times yesterday and today the boot fits better. My left foot seems to be slightly larger than most left shoes. It's a good trick that I've only just learned from wiki-how after the usual trouble buying work shoes.
