Stay away from H.D. boots. Cheap chinese crap with plastic zippers on the sides. I would say Danner.

You need boots that are made for riding if you are looking for riding boots. Currently I am using the boots I use to wear with my sport bikes.

These Icon boots.

Going to get these after they wear out. Got maybe 6 more months left with my current boots.

Btw boots that are made for riding have re-enforced ankle and toe areas to help protect your feet.

Lots of great boots out there. May want to stay away with boots with the hooks for lacing. I used to wear some Red Wings, but snagged the lace hooks a few times on the seat tearing a small place. Really sucked
