Were do you all come up with all these photos. Love it, I just don't have the time I guess I must ride too much!!!!!!

 

I agree here. Most any shoes will work under normal circumstances, but it's those other conditions that make shoes like spikey heels dangerous (although they look damn sexy). Backing a bagger up an incline will really test your shoe's ability to hold the bike up. Add a pinch of sand, dirt, or fine gravel and it makes it outright dangerous. Even as a 6'1" guy, sometimes my footing slips a little trying to back up my Road King when I get in a position where backing it up an incline is my only option. I've never dropped it, but I attribute that to being able to recover quickly because I have long legs, good boots, and normally when the ball of my foot looses traction, it's my heel that saves the day. If I were a 5'4"female that couldn't flat foot the bike on the same incline with shoes without a good solid sole, I don't know that the bike could be recovered before it leaned too far over.

This is also one of those situations where having a lowered bike (shocks and/or seat height) actually does help, at least for me. Despite that my Street Glide weighs more than my Road King, it is infinately easier to back up under the exact same conditions. In situations where you can't flat foot it, a small slip on sand, dirt, or gravel means the bike goes down because once the ball of your foot loses traction, the heel isn't there to try to grab that last chance for traction.

So where's the picture of the REALLY tall girl that is supposed to fill those shoes?? I'll bet she can flat foot, even in those heels.

 

I don't do kitchens. Too busy with the horses and the bike.

 

Just thought I'd check back on this thread. Still no pictures? [&o]

 

High heels or no heels, even the best boots will slide on a bit of sand, or oil when you least expect it.... & getting a broken ankle just for vanityon a Harley, isn't worth it...

Heather have you looked at the HD line of ladies boots? Some of the ones with the zipper up the side have a decent heel.. & are comfortable.

 

whooh, I 'bout fell outta me chair, [sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif] uh hmmm, I want one [8D],


.....but how about black!!

 

Oh yeah...I've checked them out. Just no money in the budget for new boots right now. Maybe next season.

 

See that....I thought this thread was about getting some female wearing high heel shoes on the back of my bike. Normally I would tell the skank to hit the ramp and keep rolling, but for a quick piece who knows....I might give the right girl a ride....even if she did have high heels on.

 

...When I got that far into this post, I really thought it was going to be interesting.
