Love these boots they are so cool and stylish. Got lots of compliments on them. They are a bit heavy but they are supposed to be riding boots so expected. Quality feels sturdy, I'm sure I will be wearing these babies for years to come!

There are no words to describe these boots! I have 5 pair of HD boots and three are the Faded Glory. One is the high top, one is as pictured above and another in brown. My high tops, I've had at least 6 years, these boots are so worn and rough looking, they no longer pick up rocks! But still my favorites. I have been riding about 6 years, so most of the miles, over 10,000, I have put on them by riding my own bike, a Harley Davidson Low Rider. They have survived bike wrecks (one, quite serious), many road trips, not to mention year round riding. Although, I do keep the low tops at my BF, and seldom wear the brown, I also love the Badlands. They are not as heavy weight as the Faded Glory. Still, my favorites! My only complaint with these boots is the sizing. It's not real consistent. I wear generally wear a 6. Of the 5 pair of HD boots, 4 are riding boots and the sizes range between 5.5 and 6.5. Please check the measurements, as they typically run a bit large, but not always! Get 'em while you can, as they are hard to find!

Update on prior review.
(I am "anonymous from Portland.") I got the replaced boots in size 7.5 and that was that, the correct length. I love strutting out in these babies! They are far more comfortable with the top eyelet unused, but the tied laces easily double up and stay out of the way under the cross band. And of course Zappos made the exchange so simple and fast.

My all-time favorite HD boot! These boots are great looking, comfortable, provide great support, and have excellent traction soles. These are the perfect boots for riding! Get them while you still can...

These are my all-time favorite Harley Boot! After I got my motorcycle license and bike in 2004 I had to get a good pair of boots so I choose these because I loved the style. Here it is 2012 and they are still going strong! Although they were a little worn I got them cleaned up at a shoe polish booth in 2011 at a bike week event and they looked brand new! I like the worn look so if worn or polished up they still look amazing! I have tried about six other Harley boots and although I do like them nothing compares to riding with these on! I always find myself choosing these to ride with! I would say that I would definitely replace these with the same exact boot if something happened. However, I think these will be with me forever! I can tell you that Harley boots come in many styles and one year they are everywhere and the next year they discontinue the style but this Faded Glory has been around for many years so that is telling you something!

I just got these in (awesome shipping, Zappos!) and even though they have not been field tested I can't wait to start wearing them.
They great and feel good.
As per some of the other reviews I got a half size smaller than what I normally wear. For instance, I also ordered a pair of New Balance and got a 9 (fits great) but the 8 1/2 in these fit great.
I haven't worn an above the ankle shoe in a while so that felt a little different, but overall I'm very excited about these boots.

Love these! Bought them on a road trip at a boot store. I have narrow feet with high arches and usually waver between a size 7.5 & 8 depending on manufacturer. With these I got a 7.5 and used an OTC arch support insole. They fit great! The high ankle and the insole make them work even with my feet. An added bonus is that they make me about 3 inches taller! The only negative is that they weigh about 4 lbs (no exaggeration, I weighed them).

These are the first motorcycle riding boots I have purchased. Not sure what I expected, but I am very pleased with them. The boot is a bit stiff around the top of the ankle, but I am sure the leather will relax with wear. I usually wear 7.5, but I ordered a 6.5 and it is perfect with room for thick socks. They are attractive and sturdy - just what you need when tooling around on your ride!

Hi. First of all ordering from Zappos is always a pleasure. Great helpful staff. OK, the shoes. I just what i was looking for. I could have gotten by with a 7 and a 1/2 but wanted to use my orthotics and insoles. No breaking in period and just right from the start. They are a little heavy but perfect when riding because they grip the ground. I like the strap that holds the laces down. They look good, too.

Get these Now!
These are very hard to find! I've had mine for two years and they are perfect. LOVE these shoes! These are perfect for women who ride since they offer great traction and stability. They fit great and actually get better with age. I usually take an 8.5 in shoes, but got an 8 in these and have plenty of room.

Weird sizing -
Note that only 61% of respondents said this boot felt true to size. I have a pair of flaming HD oxfords and a pair of similar short boots, both size 8.5. Figured I was safe ordering these in 8.5. Wrong. Just received them today and they are boats, waaaay too large. I'm returning them and going for a 7.5 instead. Big surprise.

Sssssmokin'!
These boots not only look great, but are so unbelievably comfortable and durable! I have had mine for five years now, and they honestly look as good as the day I bought them. They look great when riding and great when rockin a skirt, too. Yay ZAPPOS and Harley-Davidson!

I would buy them again!
These boots are great for riding, definitely not for riding. They felt true to size, in every way. I will be buying another pair soon. I have brown ones, I wonder if that color is still available. If your thinking about these, I say go for it, there GREAT.

Great boot!!
But apparently I have the "taller" version. Mine is 9 eyelets. Not complaining at all. Love it. The boot makes my foot look small. Fits great, easy to break in. I've been wearing them for only a few hours, and they are almost perfectly broke in. No pain, no sore spots. Just a great pair of boots.

Just what I needed -
Rugged and no trouble shifting. Can walk in them for awhile (heavy) with little trouble (wouldn't want to go for miles!). Love strap that keeps laces tucked away. Imagine when they are broken in they will be a favorite for riding, and comfort will improve. Very pleased with the armor factor.

KUDOS!
I usually wear a size 7 1/2, I did have to return them and get a size 7 instead. Zappos was prompt in resending them out! Thanx.

Best Harley Boots Ever -
When I bought these I bought two pair even though I've never had them before. I love the appearance of these boots. They aren't very comfortable, but as a good friend once said to me, "Beauty is pain." I deal with it 'cuz they look so good. :-)

Christmas gift went over well-
I bought the boots for my daughter in law and she loves them. I bought her actual size and they fit great and look great. I can't speak for the comfort, but I haven't heard anything negative about them. It seems there was no break in time needed.

2 years and going -
I adore these boots. They fit wonderfully. I wear these when riding, walking the dog, and out to do grocery shopping. They are comfortable. They are durable. And after 2 years they still look great too. There is still plenty of tread on the bottom of the soles. No cracking. No fading. They are definitely built for comfort and built to last.

Great boot -
This a great boot for riding. They feel a little big though until you get use to them. I had to put in a foam insert.

Great Boot -
I've had these for 4 years. I do everything in them...hike, ride, work, play, etc. They are the most comfortable, durable, well-fitting shoe/boot I've ever had. I normally wear inserts in all my footwear, so that may help the comfort. I even have them in brown.
