I love Harley Davidson "After-Riding" Boots. I have had at least a dozen pair and swear by them. However, I purchased this pair in a size 9.5 even though I can wear an 8.5 or 9.0.  Even though it's a larger size, I can not wear this boot! It's extremely tight across the instep and cuts off the circulation to my foot. It's extremely painful and I have to take it off after just a few minutes. I have taken them to a shoe repair shop, (twice), to have it stretched but I still can't wear the right boot. I wear high heeled boots 6 - 7 days a week to work in and ride in so I'm very disappointed in this pair. I was so sure that stretching the boot would work, (since it IS leather), that I missed the opportunity to get my money back. It's a very good looking boot however I do not recommend this boot to anyone with a high instep. The sizing is also questionable with this style.
