I cound't get my correct size tho8ugh and had to order them from wolverine.
They were cheaper and no shipping.

Preacher 12th August 2005, 22:39 I got a set of Cody boots (HD brand because I couldn't find another maker who does all-black Cody boots)
For the uninitated, Cody boots have a rough leather patch over the portion of the toe that comes into contact with the shifter, the rest of the boot is smooth leather.

willprevale 12th August 2005, 23:10 Not my taste but nice boots at a fair price. Check out "bootgodess" on ebay. She carries a large stock at decent prices.
Vince 12th August 2005, 23:21 I bought a pair of Milwaukee Boot Camp style. Very comfortable right from the get go. They have what they call Freedom Flex in the sole and they take very little to break them in. I like um!

Using these right now very comfortable and it didn't take much to break them in. :)
mordak 13th August 2005, 00:41 I want some Redwings 970's but they are $160 and I'm savin' my money for a new seat!!!

Preacher 13th August 2005, 01:07 I just linked to that site for the pic... I bought mine at a local Lebos for $90.00.
mordak 13th August 2005, 01:18 Yeah I think I found 'em online: http://www.lebos.com/ too bad they don't have Redwings. :(
radar 13th August 2005, 01:50 Redwing steeltoes here, love them.
Greywolf 13th August 2005, 17:51 Got the H-D boots, had to special order them cause of my wide feet. got EE's and still had to use tha stretcher on them for a long time but now they fit and are comfy. My work boots are steel toed and better yet, they're Hytest's and they lace up, best yet work paid for them.
SportsterBart 13th August 2005, 18:07 I have the HD Badlands, not a bad boot but I should have gotten them in wide. :doh
The Red Wings look pretty good, that will probably my next pair. :banana

Snuffy 14th August 2005, 12:42 Got my HD's at Academy, 2 zippers up each side of the tongue on sale 70 bucks very comfortable and good support, same boot they sell at Moco for 150.00
BarAndShield 16th August 2005, 06:12 I usually wear my Danner Light II's... good support, vibram sole, gore tex lined, waterproof, very comfortable. They are a lower boot, 6" shaft.... http://www.danner.com/products.asp?catid=15&prodid=1686
Sandman883 16th August 2005, 06:20 Okay, I know you guys are gonna laugh, but hey, I'm a cheap bastard and these are actually more comfortable than the HD ones that I had. Survivor boots (work boots) from Wal-Mart. They are black leather with speed laces, and waterproof. I have ridden with them for a couple of years now, and they really are comfortable. With proper rain gear, they DO remain dry too. No comparison to Red Wings or the like, but I have been very happy with these. :D
Jeffytune 16th August 2005, 06:21 Yes, Red wings, i uses them at work and for riding, they not only last a long time, there American made and they can rebuild them for you.
(It costs like half as much to have them rebuilt.)
Loco 26th August 2005, 00:32 Geez folks....
I got me some regular old black engineer boots (oil resistant soles) from the Surplus Store for $45.00...
Old school. None of this fancy (expensive) H-D stamped boots LMFAO!!!
:gun

So. Cal.
82ndJumper 26th August 2005, 00:36 Doc martens for me, I just wore out a pair that I bought in 1999. I paid $119.00.
usmc_883 20th December 2005, 07:46 Had these since 1996. They were much cheaper back then, but worth it.

loki03xlh 20th December 2005, 16:11 H-D model brake buckle for me, had them almost 3 years now, feel great. I wear them everyday. I'll get another pair of them if I can find them on sale.
gunslinger 20th December 2005, 16:54 Standard issue Desert Steel Toe. Cheap and I get a new pair every time I deploy.
Ole 20th December 2005, 16:54 Can't say enough about Red Wing's...I just ordered my third pair since 1992. Tough as hell and really comfortable. These are boots that I ordered:
http://www.redwingshoes.com/images/boots/large/980.jpg (http://www.redwingshoe.com/shoe-zoom.cfm?style=980)
Waterproof is a big + in my book. Click the picture for more. If you haven't tried Red Wing's before my advice is give them a shot. They're well worth the money.
rpcycle 20th December 2005, 17:22 I bought the Cruiserworks Boots a year ago and have been happy with them. Lightweight, comfortable, good traction and good gripping soles. I am still riding in 40 degree weather and have had no problems with the cold. Black with 2 buckles, looks good too. You just have to make sure you get the right size, at the time I purchased them they had a real good return policy. :tour
Sport-Ed 20th December 2005, 18:01 Timberland PRO work boots w/ steel toe here...
Got em localy for $80.
5200
Very comfy after a week of break in. A little beefy under the shift peg (mids), but got used to it.
RedRider 20th December 2005, 20:11 Click here (http://www.mmleatheronline.com/)to visit my favorite leather goods store, M&M Leather. They also have a link to their eBay store on their website.
Their actual store is close to me, and I've bought a lot of stuff there including boots, chaps, jackets, helmets, and gloves. They sell virtually anything you'd need to wear while riding. They also re-sole boots for a good price.
Their prices are competitive, and the quality of their products is good.
I'm not affiliated with these guys, just a happy customer.
Happy shopping!
kmssporty05 20th December 2005, 20:46 I have a pair of Matterhorns that used to be my Army boots. They are comfortable, and have good protection. I can't wear them out. I like 'em.
Y2K 20th December 2005, 23:24 I usually wear my Danner Light II's... good support, vibram sole, gore tex lined, waterproof, very comfortable. They are a lower boot, 6" shaft.... http://www.danner.com/products.asp?catid=15&prodid=1686
I wear Danners everyday but my riding boots are Wescos:D
I get the Danners at the factory for about $100 just 35 miles from home.(nothing more comfortable)
Wescos factory is also close (about 50 miles) and I had my feet measured and got custom fit M/C patrol bike cop boots.They are awesome! but pricey.
Wesco also has a rebuilding program at about 1/2 cost.

I've also had a tall pair of the Highliners for about 10 years now that I'm sending in for a second rebuild.

SC_Compact 21st December 2005, 15:06 I picked up a pair of Chippewas last year and they are the best boots I have ever owned. They are made in the USA and are comfortable right out of the box. They come with an 800 number where you can get them
resoled by an authorized Chippewa dealer.
A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Shop around I found mine for $145 with free shipping.

http://www.shoe-store.net/images/products/970-10-inch-8135-6190-big.jpg
I have a big pair similar to these and find it difficult to shift with the forward controls... Has anyone had this problem? Is there a solution other than going back to less beefy boots cause the Mustang seat puts me too high now.
Thanks,
JJ
