My local cobbler did the Vibram mod after the stock Frye soles wore out in 5 months!

 

Looks good. Same thing I do to my boots. Nothing like havng new worn in boots!

 

That's about what I got out of my last HD boots. Put the same soles on and good to go. Especially helps my feet stay on the highway pegs.

 

I've got to do this. My Harley lace-ups changed to flip-flops in two months of occasional wear- the right sole came unglued.

 

Lots o grip needed on these crazy L.A. roads, that's for sure. Boots actually feel a little more soft on the joints now too, which is a gravy.

Cobbler glued and nailed em in. I highly recommend this little mod.

 

Our jungle boots in Nam had those same soles. But SoCal...please don't tell me you have **** carpeting all through your house! Just messing with you Brother!

 

HD boots wearing out in 5 months
You must drag your feet a lot. LOL

 

Ha. Luckily it's just a rug and not a carpet. Belongs to my gal actually, but I inherited the thing when we decided to shack up together. And my backup boots are a pair of jungle boots I got off a paratrooper medic who served. He tells me they issued him two pair, and the pair I have are the backups he didn't wear much.

I actually don't wear them much on the bike either. They are designed for a different job than riding, as you know. Though they will work.

Those pictured aren't HD boots, dobber. They are Frye engineers. Kinda had a thin sole to begin with, and if you commute to work in L.A. traffic everyday, they definitely will wear in 5 months!

 

You are also ready to wear the shifter side boot lol Do you have heel/toe shifter?

 

What does wear the shifter side boot mean?
