Chippewa Harness Boots?

My old engineer boots finally gave out and it will cost more to fix then they're worth so...anyone with experience with the Chippewa harness boot #27868?

Are they reasonably well made, comfortable? Any issue with this unlined boot?

Was looking for a boot a bit wider in the toe then the engineer-style boot.

Thanks!

Got a pair that I wear daily. They are tough to break in. The steel reinforcement in the heel transition takes a while to form. Once broken in the are comfortable and appear to be durable. Sizes run true old school so they are larger than expected. Try on for size before buying.

I have them, wear them almost every time I ride. They seem to be a good quality boot. I had to go with 1/2 size smaller then I usually wear in other boots. And I agree, they do take a while to break in which is a little annoying.

*edit* I just realized you asked about the Harness boot, I have the Engineering boot.

I have two pairs of Chippewa boots, but not the harness boot. They are great, high quality boots made in America and I'd definitely buy another pair if my current boots ever wear out.

A different approach. I got a pair of DoubleH harness boots, steel toe. Very comfortable right out of the box. Great non-skid sole. Wide widths.
