Wondering what most use for riding boots/shoes? Just like around the town riding that can be worn to work as well, a business casual look. Trying to find something around $100. Thanks!

I wear steel-toed army-surplus parade boots. Cheap, readily available, and well-made.
Try this thread. It could use some attention. ;^)
That thread does need some love, completely forgot about it!

Will definitely check it out. Thanks!
I recommend you never ride without boots which are high enough to cover the lateral malleolus (big round bump on the outside of your upper ankle).
If you go down with boots, you'll just scuff up the leather. Without high-cuts, even a minor sliding fall could result in a skin grafts and ligament reconstruction.
If high-cuts won't cut it for business-casual, better to wear them to ride and keep a pair of work shoes in your saddle bag, than to take a risk.
