Default Boots

Anyone wear Milwaukee Motorcycle Clothing CO. boots and, if so, would you recommend or not? Do they wear well or bad purchase? Thanks for any info. Any other recommendations will be appreciated.

I wear the Mikwaukee Drag harness boot and love it. Very comfortable and the sole really grips the pavement. I highly recommend it.

Original Swat -

These boots meet all your list, except one they are not made here.

I have chippewa's that are made in the USA - but they don't meet most of your requirements.

+1 for chippewa's. Real easy to walk in and looks good too, but you should put your feet into several boots before you make a your choice. Not all boots will fit right for all people.

i would have to agree with those saying Chippewa boots. Have worn the 17 inch style for over 30 years and it works for me. steel toe... US made... but do your own research to find a pair that YOU like.

Just watch Chippewa's - they are now importing a bunch of boots, and are priced very rather high. On their web page they refer to them as the "spirit of nations".

I bought a pair thinking I was getting a Made in US product, only to find out they were made in china - I sent them back. Sorry at $100+ china doesn't cut it anymore in my book.
