Better Than You Think
First off, I am not a "honeymoon" reviewer. I won't do a review until I am ready to give my honest opinion. So here it is:I did the "try before you buy" thing here on Amazon. I have always been leery about ordering clothes or clothe-products online because it's easy to make a picture look good and "feeling" the material is a lot different than just seeing a picture of the material. So the "try before you buy" was the hook for me.Next, these boots are darn comfortable. No, they are not a "good pair of sneakers" comfortable but definitely more comfortable than other boots I've worn... and one thing to keep in mind is that I am older. I prefer comfort over style any day of the week. I like the comfort of these so much, I wear them out and about, not just when I'm riding. I have seen other reviews talking about how comfortable these are and although I will not say that they are the most comfortable ever, they are very comfortable.I do like the zip up feature. The laces are great for getting these boots initially snug but the ease to take these on and off is great. When I was younger, I had a pair of jungle boots that zipped up and although I loved that feature, those were some very uncomfortable boots. These are not only easy to take on and off but, again, are quite comfortable.A few negatives (because what is the point of a review if you only say the positives??):The white rubber easily stains. It will not stay white for long...which is okay because the bright white is too much of a contrast for me, but if you do cut the grass in these, you will stain it green.The quality is very good... especially for what I spent. At first, I thought the leather felt a little thin but after some good riding and wearing these EVERYWHERE, I am won over.The rubber is not heat resistant. It will easily melt if it comes in contact with your bike's pipes. I read this before hand in a review and was saddened to see how much this was true. So be careful on that. The black rubber connecting the white sole to the leather is the same way.Other than that, nothing bad to say. The size is true, so no need to order a size bigger or smaller. The comfort is outstanding to where I wear these out and about and the look is great. You got to be careful of your bike's pipes, but if this is a big concern of yours, then I think you need to first work on other things."Will I buy these again?" As of right now, I'm actually contemplating on going ahead and doing that now. With this supply chain crap and all, you never know what's going to happen tomorrow.And speaking of which, it would be in your best interest to have or start a personal relationship with Jesus, because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Finally a piece of clothing that fits.
I love the boots. I ordered several pairs of boots from amazon during the last couple of years and non of them ever fit. Of course I had a chance to try out other HD models which helped selecting the size.The boot is well built, the leather is of good quality. I love the color. The notch on the sole to latch on the foot peg is a nice touch most probably did not notice.The boot width is Medium and there is plenty of room for my feet. Most shoes and boots are usually too narrow for my feet, but HD Medium width are wide enough for me. Plenty of room for thick sucks if necessary as these boot may be used in lukewarm and cold temperature.For some reasons, I prefer riding with shoes/boots with flat sole, without high heels, so I can set my foot exactly the way I want on the peg and am not limited by the heel.Must admit, HD have a nice selection of boots and HD is easier to deal with regarding returns then Cycle Gear. I will no longer order cloth or boots online from cycle gear because they make returns difficult. It feels like employees are loosing money when we return something. At least HD made it easy for me early on when I returned a boot that was half an inch too large.It is very sad Harley Davidson dealers in Raleigh/Durham area have nothing in stock. Nothing. I went to HD dealer in Quebec City last year and they had ALL HD boots models of ALL sizes. Business is much harder for dealers in Quebec City then in Raleigh but in Raleigh dealers don't care at all because they are LAZY. That's the work describing this kind of business in Raleigh, LAZY. And the HD web site don't even have critical sizes they have on Amazon, go figure. So I got them from Amazon this time.This almost turned bad for the vendor though as the driver shipped the package to my neighbor's porch. For a second when I saw the delivery picture, I thought the delivery person had stolen my package and got a cold sweat until I realize it was not my porch on the picture. Fortunately, I recognized my neighbor's porch because of the half moon carpet and the day was saved. I was lucky because my neighbor is gone for two weeks and was not aware at all my package was on her porch. If it wasn't for the picture taken by the delivery person it would have turned bad.It will always be a bit nerve wrecking to order online items worth more then $30.

Boot runs 1/2 size larger
Boots look great and seem well made with good sole padding inside. Slight arc support . Boot leather is stiff , like most good new leather and makes a creaking sound when walking. This will go away with age. I do not like the boot laces and will replace them . These boots seem to run 1/2 size larger then listed size . So be aware of this. They are comfortable to walk in so I will be keeping them. Also the stiffness makes toe shifts a little tuff, until boot breaks in from use. Over priced, but...nuff said

Im impressed!
Boot is super comfortable and come practically broke-in. Dont know the long term durability but seem well made with high quality soft leather and heavy duty sewn seams. Right out of the box theyre instantly comfortable. a few hours of wear and they fit like a glove. Love these so far. Some see the zipper as redundant but I like it a lot. you dont have to unlace them to take them off/on. A quick "zip" and you can slip in or out of them (Im the type that hates taking the time to lace-up.). Long term will be the deciding factor but so far this is a perfect start for footwear for me, especially boots which tend to be all over the place as far as comfort, break-in, and durability.
