New Boots

Do any of y'all own a pair of Harley-Davidson boots? Are they any good, worth the cost? Im probably gonna buy a pair in January, so i dont have to wear my Red Wing's everyday.


Thanks

I have about 3 pairs of them,use 1 for work 1 for day to day and 1 good pair. They are just as comfortable as anyother pair I own.

If you can afford to spend the money for that HD logo do so, if not stick with the others. They are a good quality boot, and since I have broken arches I can waer sneakers much so boots are my most common footwear

I will stick with my broke in Brahmas.
Cheap, and work good.
I have a pair of Wolverine Durashocks and they aren't as comfortable
I borrowed my brothers Ariats once, and boy did I hate those.
I'd prob try a pair of HD boots atleast once

FWIW.

I own two pairs of riding boots. One pair are HD's, and the others are Aldo's. I paid just as much for each pair, and the quality on both are excellent. I do notice less foot fatigue after riding all day when I wear my HD's though. They seem to have a bit more padding on the sole.
But nothing beats a nice pair of cowboy boots, I have a few pairs that are like wearing slippers.

I wear boots everyday. I have a pair of HD harness boots for riding and they are very comfortable. For work I prefer Justin Original Workboots. Regular and dress up boots I prefer Justin ropers or Justin cowboy boots. They have been the best brand of boot for me as long as I've worn boots.

If you want to know more check out their websites. Some boot stores give you a discount if you order them. I wear an unusual size (13EE) so I usually order mine and get 20% off.

I have a pair of Harley-Davidson steel-toe shoes for work. DOn't mind them, but after a day of work they are kinda hard on the feet. I think it's because of the steel sole. Wish I had a pair of boots too.

Talking Boots..

HD boots are great for riding the "Scooter", but I still love my Cowboy Boots, I have Justin, Olathe, and a pair that I had made in San Angelo, Tejas. I miss that part of the world. Oh well, we still have horses!!!

We got one of them Bootbarns in town. They had a "smelly boot sale" last summer. If you brought in a pair of any kind of condition boots, you got $20 off on a new pair. I went back home and got a pair just hours away from going in the garbage.
