Yup, got the same boot and would recommend for sure. I beleive HD boots run a tad larger than normal, I say this because I have some Cats, and Wolverines and they fit "normal" to me, but my HD boots fit lose. I wear my "thick"socks with them and they are perfect. Wife just experienced the same thing. We both ordered them online, would prefer to try them on first if I bought again...but happy with them.

Congrats on the new ride, have a ball and be safe!

Check out this guys ebay store. The boot prices are unbeatable in my opinion I bought a pair for me and one for my dad, they are the real deal.

Congrats on the bike. And good ideas and advice on the boots. As EMT I can say boot leather polishes faster than skin grows back...
