If that is all you can afford and if that's what meets your needs then go with it.


BTW....Nice boots NSCoyote. I have a zipper on the side of my boots and I like the convenience of it.

So? Dude likes his boots, you don't have to wear them, or pay for them. Let him be happy about them, geeez.

Now every foot print you leave will have the H.D. name on it.They are marketing geniuses.Hope they serve you well.They do look tough.

Real riding boots do not have laces that can catch on a peg as you put your foot to the ground. Just sayin.

I've had good luck with Sidis or Alpinestars and they're worth the price to me. Lately I've been eying this pair.

Need to find a place to try them on first, otherwise I'm going to have to order and send back if they don't fit right.

eah i know, but i need a lace up up that holds my leg firmly, the harness style boots dont hold tight enough to my leg and my right foot drops
* accident no muscle control/feeling/nerves etc*, a lace getting caught on a peg is easier to manage then my toes dropping ontop the pavement and me not noticing until after the fetch up LOL
