Default Harley Boots falling apart.

Harley Lynx waterproof boots.

Fit well, never had wet feet in the rain. I like the looks. Not a bad boot to wear around off the bike.
To bad they didn't last longer than 6 months. The sole around the toe on the right boot is coming apart from the boot. The left has already started as well. The velcro that holds the flaps that cover the side zipper, had to be fixed a few weeks after I got them.
I think it's crazy that Harley Davidson is so proud to stamp there name on such a shitty product.

I'm always a little leery of boots that don't have stitched on soles, regardless of brand. However, it is unacceptable that the boots are falling apart after 6 months. Those aren't inexpensive boots.

That sucks. I had some Harley boots that started to come apart after six months but that was because I went down at 50mph in them! The fact that they are almost completely intact was impressive to me. I can still wear them!

I just bought a pair of Harley boots myself. I hate them. Stupid zip up side wont stay zipped up while walking, uncomfortable as all hell. but sure looked good in the store. They are the Dylon style. Still not sure why i liked them in the store. Oh ya, the old "Just wear them a while and they will shape up" riiiight.

Made in China crap!!! My first (and last) pair of HD boots fell apart also - huge cracks in the soles, zipper broke, seams split. Never again. Good luck in finding a pair of USA made boots to actually try on in a store. I'm going to try the Corcoran side zipper combat boots, made in USA. Problem is nobody carries them locally, so it's an online gamble on size.

HD boots are made by Wolverine. OP, did you try taking them back? I would.

What??? Are you telling me that these genuine chinese Harley boots are falling apart? Good thing you only paid about $300 for them.

Hey they sell many more down at the stealer! Probably made by the same kids that made the ones you wear now. (well used to wear)
