Question boots

looking for new boots. I had the Harley 8" faded glory due to the wide width. I need a 2e width. I don't see to many options for a different style in wide. I was thinking of going with Wolverine work boots instead. I know they are not "ridingboots" but just wondering how many use them as a good riding boot as well. I was looking at these Wolverine Men's Buccaneer 8” Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boots or similar. not sure i I was going to get waterproof or not. I have been stuck in the rain many times and had to empty out the old boots and had black feet from the leather. thanks Jeff

The Harley boots you had were probably made by Wolverine. I can't recommend a waterproof boot but anything that you find that is comfortable will work, it doesn't have to be a "motorcycle boot".
I'm sure you'll get plenty of suggestions here.

I'm partial to Red Wing boots myself, give them a look if you have a store in your area. I'm sure Wolverine would have some good choices as well.

I wear Danner Quarry boots every day, they’re great. If you’re ok spending a bunch, you can get a pair of custom Wesco’s

I wear the tactical boots you see at rallys all the time....they are light, no heel and waterproof and they last a long time , last pair i bought at Sturgis 5 years ago....just got a pair for my son.....I don't have a clue if they are official riding boots for HD, but they work for me.

Wolverine here. Comfortable and durable (I'm not always kind to them and use the composite toe as a tool sometimes). Good for riding and walking too. I would buy these same work boots again. You can waterproof anything, although these are pretty good already.
