I had already gotten myself a pair of the ladies "Alyssa" Harley riding boots, and loved how mine were immediately comfortable and solid for riding; so naturally I wanted to get my hubby a pair.  He doesn't like anything gaudy/flashy...and as new Harley riders we so didn't wanna have a "oh yeah,I am a bad biker wannabe" look..lol. So I chose carefully. These were comfy right outta the box, an awesome look and smart styling that will keep his ankles and feet safe. Very well sewn and feel as though they can take a beating. He especially loves the ease of on and off with the double zippers. However, he did remove the toe tag, which was easy and left the boots looking fine, just a little less flashy! ;) We are both very happy with this purchase. True to size.....you can buy with confidence!
