I get the walmart specials. Steel toes and dr. scholls pads for 40 bucks. But today at the dealer I was looking at Harley Boots. I noticed several styles with laces and a buckle going across the front. What is that buckle for?

 

My guesses are either for decoration, or some way to keep the boot on when you quickly slip your boots on and keep them on while walking out to the garage for something.

 

Just looks weird... gotta be a reason they are there.

 

It's the cool factor... and you gotta pay extra for it !!!!

 

Since we are all bad *** Harley Riders. That strap and buckle is there to keep your boot on your foot when you remove it from the *** you just put it up. BooYah.

 

I have those boots. The buckle supports your instep...but is mostly for show.

They ARE good boots though....

 

Been wearing my under 100 dollar Dingo's for 6 years, re-heeled once.....they work GREAT!

The metal going across the first lace is to protect it from being cut.

 

Prolly make you look fat!

 

I went to a swat style boot the H/D boots weigh in at like 250 lbs .. I couldnt walk in mine !
