Nice boots.. If you get much taller you will bust through the ceiling.

Those ought to last you a long time, and if the soles get worn down just get them repaired. Nice lookin' boots...

Good looking boots. I bought some that looked just like those myself last week. "Great minds think alike."

You do realize that everything associated with riding a Skuter doesn't have to be labeled H-D? You've purchased a Ft. Lewis knockoff boot that may look the part but in the long run may not give you the actual overall support or protection that the real deal offers. If that is all you can afford and if that's what meets your needs then go with it.

well unfortunatly the stealership was th eonly place i could find local that had a cent pair of boots that wernt steel toe and where tall enough for me to wear comfortably, as for needing the HD name on them that is irrelevent, considering they are the only thing i have besides a ball cap i was given that has the HD name on it, hell even my bike aint got it on it anymore

Default New boots

You can call me cheap. But 2 years ago I ordered a pair of boots online for $40 from a leather shop. They have turned out to be the best pair i have ever owned. I actually ordered a second set without the stirrups to wear at work. Then me and the wife were down in the Smokies, and there is a boot store there selling Harley Boots, buy 1 pair get 2 free. I honestly liked the feel of my cheap ones compared to the HD. Of course my wife didnt so we still left with 3 pairs, (none for me)!
