Bought boots today!

OldStreak · 03-23-2006

They says Harley Davidson on them! But I'm keeping that a secret!

*anamosity* · 03-23-2006

new leather, I love the new smell of leather.
I just recently bought a new pair of Frye's boots.

Constrictor · 03-23-2006

I have the Xelement boots from Leatherup.com and for their price, they are a really nice boot. I used them all riding season and dragged my heels alot and I even wear them a lot as casual boots when I go out. I've used them quite a bit and while the soles show a lot of wear, they havent torn or in any other way fallen apart. I am very impressed with them!

What did you get? My wife just made me buy some HD Dip Sticks. Bit**!!

SleekStreak · 03-24-2006

Hehehehe...

Don't feel too bad. One thing Harley has a lot of good choices of is boots. My boots are Harley boots, too. Shhhhhhhh, don't tell.

I wanted brown and it's about the best choice I could find. So what if they say HD on the soul? They look good. And the only time people would see the bottom of my boots is if I wrecked. Hehe. Del Rio boots. Love them.

jollyrogr · 03-24-2006

I love my redwing boots. Made in USA of top quality materials.

Kebo · 03-24-2006

I too have HD "Faded Glory" riding boots......and they are very comfortable, to me.

OldStreak · 03-24-2006

Not sure what they call them...but they are comfy!

ImpactG · 03-24-2006

X-element for me as well. No issues with the quality so far.

dickwol · 03-25-2006

I've bought two pairs of boots in the last month online and had to send them both back. One was the Frye which was pretty uncomfortable and the other was a Justin that just didn't fit right. Since I had to eat the cost of shipping them back I'm going to have to find a place where I can try them on before buying. There just are not very many places locally that carry good boots. I'm looking for boot that has a lower 90 degree heal vs the tapered type. I'll have to continue the hunt until I find something I like.

kc6wfs · 03-25-2006

I'll echo that...my Red Wings are really comfortable and look great!

**Spok** · 03-25-2006

I found a pair of HD lace up boots on sale at a Sears here in Seattle. I paid $79 for them, same pair at the HD shoppe were $149

**2WheelFun** · 03-25-2006

Some boots are made for walking...some aren't.

*anamosity* · 03-25-2006

dang whistle, I think you may need a new pair

Heres mine

junior · 03-25-2006

I bought a new pair a couple months ago and love the way they feel and fit. I have to wear 6" upper 's, leather with steel tip boots for work and was looking for something that would breath and also be somewhat water proof. I found that the oxtar infinities fit the bill. My biggest concern was when the temps get into the 100's out here in the summer that my feet wouldn't bake like they do in my work boots. We'll see how well they vent in a few months.

HD has to make good boots. You dont want all those blisters from pushing.

Dawn · 03-25-2006

X-element from leatherup.com. I'm very happy with my boots.

dgenx66 · 03-26-2006

I have two pair of Xelement from leather up and have no complaints. I have one pair of black zip buckles and a pair of distressed brown with embroidered eagles and love them. I've also had good luck with their jackets, only have about 5 of them so far and that doesn't count my wife's.

Twisted · 03-28-2006

1 each of:
Carolina Jump Boots (basic toe cap military boot)
Red Wing Steel Toe (heavy, but fairly comfortable. But HOT in summer)
Bates EMT Boots (comfy, comfy, comfy)
