What Recent Buyers Report<\/strong><\/p>\nBuyers feel that these shoes are extremely comfortable for the price, which we always like hearing. They\u2019re also very resistant to damage, though, like all boots, they require good long-term care. However, while they\u2019re a great budget option, they don\u2019t offer as much protection as taller boots do.<\/p>\n
Why it Stands Out to Us<\/strong><\/p>\nThe main thing that stands out to us is the blend of comfort and affordability. While these aren\u2019t proper racing shoes, they\u2019re great for casual motorcyclists and anyone who wants to enjoy a longer trip in different conditions.<\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen price matters most, these are the shoes to look at. They\u2019re not fancy, but they\u2019re comfortable, and they get the job done, which is the minimum most people want from motorcycle shoes. Expect them to wear out sooner than more-expensive shoes, though.<\/p>\n
Runner-up:<\/strong>Harley-Davidson D91005<\/h3>\n![\"HARLEY-DAVIDSON](\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41PImnSR81L.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
PROS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 100% leather outside of the leather sole<\/span><\/li>\n
- Taller than many other ankle-range boots<\/span><\/li>\n
- From one of the most well-known motorcycle brands<\/span><\/li>\n
- Imported shoes, which mean they\u2019re often made to higher standards<\/span><\/li>\n
- Uses a Goodyear welt for the sole, which improves durability and longevity<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
CONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- A little smaller than most shoes of comparable sizes<\/span><\/li>\n
- The leather isn\u2019t particularly durable without extra care<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What Recent Buyers Report<\/strong><\/p>\nMost buyers say that these boots have a nice design, and they\u2019re comfortable to wear, but also that they tend to run small. Consider ordering them a half-size larger than you usually do and exchanging them for a smaller size only if that doesn\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n
Why it Stands Out to Us<\/strong><\/p>\nWe mainly like branding here. Harley-Davidson is a well-known brand, and this particular shoe resists oil, slipping, and abrasion. It\u2019s also a little higher than many other ankle-length shoes, which makes a real difference if you take a slide.<\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\nThis isn\u2019t our favorite shoe on the market, but it\u2019s still a solid choice towards the top of what we consider the budget range. The Goodyear welt is particularly nice to see here, while the full-length cushioned lining provides added comfort. However, they do run small, so you may need to exchange them for a different size.<\/p>\n
Best for the Money:<\/strong>O\u2019Neal Men\u2019s New Logo Rider Boot<\/h3>\n![\"O'Neal](\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/514eljedhfL.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
PROS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Reasonably tall<\/span><\/li>\n
- Uses metal shank inserts to reinforce the shape<\/span><\/li>\n
- Has a four-buckle closure system for easy adjustments<\/span><\/li>\n
- Injection-molded plastic helps protect against impacts<\/span><\/li>\n
- An air mesh interior provides excellent cooling and heel support<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
CONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Only available in full sizes<\/span><\/li>\n
- A little too stiff for easy shifting while riding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What Recent Buyers Report<\/strong><\/p>\nBuyers agree that these boots are extremely durable in general, and not just for the price range. However, this is a point of contention. They\u2019re so tough and stiff that they can make certain activities (like shifting) noticeably harder than other shoes do.<\/p>\n
Why it Stands Out to Us<\/strong><\/p>\nThese shoes stand out to us for their durability. Even people who don\u2019t like these shoes agree that they\u2019re abnormally tough, which makes them a great value for the price. That said, it takes a little practice to master riding with these shoes, so don\u2019t expect to put them on and ride the same as before.<\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\nThese boots aren\u2019t for everyone because their stiffness is a make-or-break quality. However, if you don\u2019t mind adjusting the way you ride, these boots offer excellent durability at a competitive price point. They\u2019re also taller than our top two choices, which is a valuable trait in its own right.<\/p>\n
