Default Boots

Hey guys i am a new rider and i bought a pair of the phantom engineer boots from harley davidson. I really like them and right now i just wear long socks under the boots but when i walk or ride my socks fall down and they get really uncomfortable. I was wondering what everybody else wears so they stay comfortable.

Thanks

Let me get this right. You put long socks under your boots. Well, there is your problem. Try putting your socks on your feet, and not under your boot. But seriously, maybe you should try buying socks that fit your properly. LMAO! This post has to be a funny!

I had the same problem with my boots, im not sure which model they are but they are pretty high so when my sock rides down i used to get this rash where the inside of the boot would run on my leg. I ended up just loosening the top buckle as far as it would go and now i no longer have this problem. Also i bought these socks at Walmart for people with diabetes, that are great for long trips. They look like regular socks but above the heel part it turns into a almost fishnet that goes up allmost to your knee, make sure you dont wear shorts with them though as im sure it would look a little awkward.

Duct tape. After a while, it won't hurt to pull it off anymore. And you get that smooth supple skin.

Or you could try staples.
