Just about every cowboy boot manufacturer makes a cowboy boot with a Vibram or rubber non-slip sole. Even HD branded cowboy boots.

I wore cowboy boots back in the day. If they had leather soles, the first thing I did was replace them.

I wear German jack boots on the Harley they really are as tough as old boots and real comfortable I have them for years I don't walk around in them there is a bit of wear from gear changes . I bough a new pair off e bay to replace them when they give up eventually the devious bastard selling them never showed the soles they got like a iron horse shoe on the heel had I seen it I wouldn't have even bid on them . I will get them reheeled in time . I only tried then on once in the house . I sounded like a horse walking about the place and damn near broke my neck on the kitchen tiles I just took off I was lucky to save the slide

I wear them all the time, never felt like I needed to but on a special pair of boots or outfit to go ride. I ride the bike with whatever pair of boots I happen to be wearing that day. If your worried about the leather soles get some with Vibram soles. I have several pairs of Ariats with Vibram soles. In fact several "cowboy boot" manufactures make multiple models with vibram soles

Rocky Boots have a good selection of western style boots for work or play. I picked up a pair with a low heel and rubber soles.

Yea, because we all know you can't ride your bike if everything from your underwear to your leather isn't Licensed by Harley.

Double H ropers with their Ice sole. Though, most of their offerings these days are square-toe where I am a round-toe kinda guy. I've had a pair of their round-toe ropers for ~15 years now. Excellent boots.
