Default Not even broke in yet!

Great quality, but like everything else, not for everyone. I'll be giving some boots from HD another shot. My last pair wore our after three years of riding. Guess that's not too bad...
Those boots are not broken in yet. It can be a long process depending on how much you wear them. They might not fit correctly. Did you get them online or at a Redwing store? I went in and got fitted for my last pair of boots and was put in a boot a size bigger than I would have ordered online. I have had them for a couple of months and they are no where near being broken in. With the temps in VA they won't get worn againnuntilmfall. Too hot. Good luck finding a boot you like. I ended up with the redwings after the last pair of Boots were shot after 200k miles and I was ready for a new pair instead of a new pair of soles. I might get them resolved anyway. They had broken in and fit perfectly.
