- This is my personal review of the boots I currently own and use while riding my Harley Davidson Sportster and Honda Gold Wing. Surprisingly, my Harley boots are not worn nearly as much as the few other brands I dive into! Please keep in mind I am always open to suggestions of other boots brands your heart is loyal to! Comment about them below!
Lets take quick look at 4 brands and where they came from!

Thanks for the video beth nice collection can't wait for the next video keep em coming
Thank you! Will do!
Nice review.. love having you back on youtube..
Thanks for the heart only comment.. you made my day.. really missed you.. ride on sister..
I love backstory stuff. I have always wanted a pair of Docs.
Great review- HDs-Lugz- cruise missile-iconic what I roll in - and may I say you look dang good
Thanks for the great reviews! I'm still using my boots that I bought in 1994 so I'm overdue. Happy Holidays filled with love and joy.
Yes, I’d say you are overdue! Haha. Hope you have a pleasant and peaceful holidays
Beth, clean your boots with saddle soap and use mink oil after. It will make the leather softer and will help with break in if you have a stubborn boot.
Agree, I used to watch tv and other non-walking activities, over a long period of time, while wearing boots to break them in.
Ya ecowboy thats what i was thinking when Beth was talking about the finish on her red wings .but i was thinking if the color has worn off then prehaps a leather die to give them some color then work in some leather condishener over the whole boot.
Girlfriend you are absolutely right about the beechwood boots! Ive had mine toe stretched 2 times! But im happy to say my prev pair of harley boots got me 60,000 miles!
Great review on boots! My only issue is that none of them are actual riding boots so in the event of an accident on the road, you’re not going to be as well protected. I have a pair of Street & Steel Oakland boots and they have 100% saved me from a broken foot with my 720lbs Honda came down on it. They aren’t the most comfortable boot for walking around a lot but they are fantastic for riding.
Good to know about that last pair, I need a really tall pair (to hide the fact my pants are too short 😅) and I definitely would have snagged those at the dealership without a second thought if I saw them!
They are so cute! You might have better luck keeping them laced tight around the ankles while riding. I just for the LIFE of me keep them up without bunching.
Great video and reviews Beth!
I've worn everything from combat boots to knee-high lace ups and Harness-style ones, just settled for my Dan Post and Corral cowgirl boots while on the Road Glide.
I'd love to see a video of you reviewing your different riding jackets and pants/chaps too! 😎
I have thought about doing so! I have TONS of moto jackets. It’d just be a fun and funny video to go through a closet try on and just talk about them.
I'd love to see them!
I too have built up a collection of riding jackets, chaps, jeans and vintage HD leather pants, more than I really need but what the hell, we only live once haha.
My Justin black work boot, which I wear riding have lasted 40 years so far. I use Skidmore leather creme on them and all my leathers.
I usually don't like flat soles but my hubs ordered me some Indie Ridge boots and they have been great. So comfortable that I wear them as all day work shoes.
Good to know!
I'll let my wife take a look a this video 😁. I liked it, so big thanks Beth!!!
I wore DM's for forty years (because i really liked their light weight and comfort) but as a Motorcycle boot they are terrible. The leather is thin, they let water in badly when it rains and when the sole wears smooth they are a danger when you put your feet down on wet roads and they have zero ankle protection. But the final straw was the quality got worse over the years and they always split at the crease just where my gear change lever is.
So a few years back i got a pair of TCX X Blend boots. They are comfortable, good looking and have a reinforced gear change pad and built in ankle protectors.
They do a version for women called the TCX Lady Blend. You might like them.😊
I have heard great things about TCX boots. I will have to check them out
I try to avoid boots that have laces on them. Im always paranoid that they'll come untied while riding and get hung up in my belt or something, LoL! I own 2 pairs of Harley boots and they both use buckles and a zipper that go up the side.
Got my boots from Walmart I know they’re probably made in China but there are steel toed and very inexpensive and very comfortable and waterproof they’re called interceptors
Nice! Walmart sometimes can have great deals on quality stuff!!
most of mine are cowgirl boots i hate having to lace up shoes and a good year welt means i can get them resoled and the heel helps lock in
And Happy New Year hope we all have a great 2024!
I've noticed that many people in the US don't buy bike specific boots, especially in the cruiser niche.
Why is that? I mean for the price of a pair of red wings or doc.martens yiu could get a purpose made motorcycle boot that is also classically styled that will do a way better job of protecting you while still looking cool
Nah cruisers riders don’t tend to wear boots specifically made for motorcycles. Most don’t tend to be aesthetically pleasing to me.
I wear Wesco's but they are hella heavy. I also wear some Redwings... Just bought a pair of Cortech Slayers because they are really light.
Great video Beth, check out Solovair boots, better leather & soles than DM’s as they’re still fully made in 🇬🇧 there’s also a good back story about them too !!
Thanks for sharing!!
And thank you im stealing this idea for my gear video section!
Please do! Miss ya lady!!
@@BikerBabeBeth miss you more! I pouted so bigtime over missing forgotten angels. You should come to washington. I love you enough to let you ride my 74 sporty!
Good idea to tuck those shoelace loops in. They can get caught up in your gear and rear brake pedal. Believe me I know.😁
Yeah I have also experienced this a time or two 😅
@@BikerBabeBeth 😄👍
You had me at "let's talk about feet"
OK trying this again cuz I pushed something wrong. Two things about boots. They must have webbing in the tongue to keep water out and they need to be treated so they are waterproof. I use Sno-Seal on my boots I have heard Mink Oil is hard on the stitching I like one piece boots without laces so I don't get water in them. I try to avoid rain so usually there isn't a problem although it rains constantly in Oregon. My favorite fashion boots are Doc's knee high boots with the zipper on the side but only wear them when I dress up in my kilt. My favorite boots are made locally by Columbia Sportswear. Not cheap but they are rebuildable and really tough.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh my effing $H!+ BBB!
I have had pucker moments before, but the clip at 1:18 had my toes curling!
Yes, you have my attention, and I am glad I wear 13" pull on leather harness boots, not the zip up ones.
6:15 Looks like a yoga stretch.
Take care, ride safe.
That’s a nice bike you are pulling up behind on Dip’s dirtster. 😂
I’m a girl with flat foot syndrome and a triple E width. Lifelong issues finding good footwear. Chippewa and Justin boots have been most comfy and durable for me.
I will have to check them out. I am VERY flat footed
Nice history lessons on boots what about the rocky alpha force
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching
Some RUclipsrs that I follow wear Indie Ridge boots for riding. It would be interesting to hear your point of view
I personally do not find them to be appealing. I know lots of RUclipsrs were given them to be test riders for the shoe company. I didn’t have any interest in them, honestly…..
I have a pair of timberland boots.exactly like yours. Thurgood but like I said they’re timberland.& cheaper.
Hell yeah! I have some timberland hiking boots I LOVE.
Forma adventure touring boots for winter and Alpinestars ankle high sneaker style for summer. Italian design manufactured in eastern Europe.
Both steel toed, and purpose made. Your HD knee highs bunch up bc they have no harmonica pannels!
My first gf swore by doc. Martens in the mid 80's. Never saw her in heels, she also never had foot issues.
Girls!! Buy for purpose and comfort, not looks!!!
Word! Can agree. But also I will never give up trying to look good and feel good haha
@@BikerBabeBeth i would never ask any girl to give up shopping, that's what keeps the economy going😁. Just wear it in your spare time!
Once you step on a two wheeled death machine ATGATT!!!
I wear a Alpinestars Andes V3 full body suit in the colder seasons and a Fendt doorwaaipak/blow-through suit?? in summer.
Stay safe out there sweetheart, nobody wants to see you get hurt. And if you only f#*k up your ankle you can really f#*k up your life!!!
Hello Biker Babe Beth, here is a blast from Carol Kaye, to help break in your boots. RUclips video: Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Official Music Video)
My algorithm is telling me to get some boots.😅
YES! A Christmas gift to yourself
i want something with no lase
Could you get a friend to help you with a video on mens Moto Boots. Please.
Every company makes men’s! But the Red wings and Thorogoods are unisex
Bro, you’re starting to remind me of Arson Rides. Get your ass back out there and make us some content!! 😂 just kidding. Just stopping by to say we miss you 😢 😝
Well there’s a new video today so 😝
@@BikerBabeBeth nicely done!! 😆
Uhg....Please take that strap off the seat. There are better more secure ways to do that.
Boots are tough. Hard to find one that really fits well and breaks in perfectly. I’m still looking. ☮️
They are! Totally agree. Hope to help with that decision
