Men's Harley Davidson Harness Boots

When you ride motorcycles, good safety gear is important to enjoy your riding and get the most out of your riding experience. I know it's unpleasant to think about the spills that sometimes go along with the thrills and chills of motorcycling, but a good pair of riding boots allow you to work your controls (shift and brake pedals) with authority, and heaven forbid, provide a lot more protection than tennis shoes or flip flops - I've ridden in both so color me guilty - in event of an incident. Good footwear is as important to your comfort and safety as your crash helmet.

I bought these Harley Davidson Harness boots to ride my Harley Springer 88 cubic inch cruiser. Solid foot gear is essential to make sure that when you shift or brake the control moves and not the boot. You want to have assurance when you click that shifter that it CLICKS.

These Harley Branded boots are manufactured by Wolverine, a famous maker of heavy duty boots. Harley offers a full line of various styles for men and women in their boot department.

The boots are made of heavy black smooth leather and follow the style of Harness Boots with a plain squared off toe and a strap around the instep and ankle, connected with a buckle. There is a Harley Davidson classic Eagle logo embroidered on the leg of the boot, and extremely well done, too. Gotta love those Harley emblems!

The boots have a steel toe, for shifting and protection, and a solid vibram sole for firm stepping down on the controls and for long wear and durability. The soles are oil resistant in case you hang around a lot of places where old oil leaking cars have long parked, in fact, most places motorcycles are found. Goodyear welt construction offers ability to re-sole the boots should they ever wear out.

The boots are lined inside the foot for comfort with dual density polyurethane material for comfort.

These boots have a shock absorbing footbed to put spring in your step and keep you from getting tired feet. This is a nice feature that helps when you get on a few years. The boots are lighter than they look and have a shock absorber that limits the pounding your feet take.

The black smooth leather can be maintained by cleaning and shining with a good shoe polish, just like regular shoes.

I like these boots because they are masculine and solid. They are a bit low key for motorcycle boots, however they have all the solidity true motorcycle boots need to be fully functional and good safety equipment.

The sizes generally run about the same size as your normal street shoes or tennies, in other words, order your true size.

Men's Sizes Available:
Medium width 6-12, 13, and Wide with 7-12, 13

Always wear proper safety gear when participating in the wonderful sport of motorcycling. Happy motorcycling!
