As of late ANYTHING apparel wise especially you find at a Harley store is made in China. I bought a new pair of zip up the side HD boots and after less than a year the soles were gone like as if I used them hiking across a mountain range. Paid about $180.00 out the door. Now that I paid $50.00 for new vibram soles they will hopefully last a while but my point is LOOK AT THE LABELS!!!! Screw HD boots and look for some made in the US. I was at a Tractor Supply store recently and thought I would look at theirs since they had a fair selection, although all brown. At least half a dozen brands and the only one made in US was I believe Justin. I know nothing about this boot but have become very anti overseas and look at every label to see where the product was made.

I've got to go with the Cowboy on this one. The Cruiserworks boots are amazingly comfortable right out of the box. I can't imagine a much better all day boot as far as pure comfort is concerned. The boot is also waterproof and armored in all the right places. No zipper though, you've got to lace them up.

I recently bought these:

I got them at Sportsman's Warehouse. Super comfortable for all day (wore them on a recent 800+ mile trip). They were great not only for riding, but when we stopped and hiked up a slot canyon. I think they make a similar boot with a zipper.

I have these and they are excellent and still comfortable enough to walk around in when you get to your destination. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...ain-Boots.aspx

Well.... I bought a pair of Tour Master Solution boots today and went on a 250 mile ride with them. I tried on several brands and some of them were nicer but for the money I got the Tourmasters.
They are my first pair of actual riding boots so it is a little weird getting used to them. I think the first 4 times I shifted to 2nd gear I missed and ended up in Neutral.
Cant wait for them to break in Im sure they will be great.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
