Size 15 - a hard find
For the fit side of the boots they fit well. No choice in width caused a little grief in the boots being a little tight, but after I had them stretched, they fit well.<br /><br />They are a lot more deep from the sole to the top and in such a big boot have found I have very little clearance under the shifter or brake pedals, and with such a heavy duty traction bottom it takes more motion to make a move with the feet.<br /><br />Overall, a good boot, and price was reasonable.<br /><br />Build quality is excellent.
Great basic boots
These are great boots.<br /><br />They are almost certainly Chinese, and that will put a lot of people off. But think about it -- there a billion and a half or so people in China -- that's three billion feet.<br /><br />They come rock hard and dried out from a year or two in warehouses and shipping containers. So slather them with several coats of saddle soap and leather conditioner for a couple of days before you put them on, and they will be soft and supple and comfortable. They will drink up whatever you put on them.<br /><br />If you grease them up properly so they soften, you will love them.
Straightforward, Solid, Wide.
I began riding about a year ago and this is my first dedicated motorcycle boot. I was looking for a commuting boot with good style and protection at a sub $150 tag, preferably with off bike capacity. I'd say this is it. I've put a couple thousand miles of 10-20 mile trips on them with a KLR and an 1100 Shadow. I grow more pleased with them each ride. <br /><br />Cons:<br />-Breathe? Not one bit. <br />-Interior seam runs directly over my ankles, mildly irritating on occasion and could cause a blister.<br />-Break in required, took me about a week of pinched toes.<br />-Tread picks up rocks like they are going out of style.<br />-No special anything<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Comfortable to stand in and quite supportive.<br />-After the first week, comfortable to walk in.<br />-Fat toe-box* fit me perfectly<br />-Showing no signs of faulty stitching or otherwise cheap construction.<br />-Removable insole <br />-With the occasional polish, waterproof. (socks have stayed dryer in the rain than a hot sun)<br />-Fit comfortably between the shift lever and foot-peg on both my bikes. <br />-Good traction<br />-Will stay warm<br /><br />Some other observations:<br />*I have the feet of a duck and often size up from 13 to 14 just to allow my meat pancakes the proper space to spread. Not so with this boot. The toe-box was if anything slightly large on me while also allowing a snug fit on my ankles. This may be a significant con for those with narrow feet but I love it.<br /><br />The boot itself is pleasingly tall. And tho it prevents any notions of running, I haven't had to worry about a gap between my pants and the boot at all. However the pull tabs on the back like to catch and hold your pants up so beware.<br /><br />I ride in weather ranging from 30-90 degrees and below 80 I've loved the boots. My comment about dry socks refers to that 80-90 stretch which I do not recommend these for.<br /><br />Finally and of little import, The picture gives these boots a much slimmer appearance than I've experienced. But that may well be due to my selected size(13).
Good for wide feet.
Let me start by saying I just got these boots, so I can't say anything about how well they hold up. I will try to update at a later time.<br /><br />When you first open the box you get the smell of the real rubber soles. The feel is that of a good pair of work boots. The leather is stiff (as expected) but should break in over time. The rubber soles dampen any vibration or feeling under your feet so I had to find my place on the foot pegs a couple of times.<br /><br />As for the fit, they are true to size on length, but run wide including at the heel. I usually wear 9 ½ EEE to EEEE boots with narrow heels, and since they dont have any half sizes, I went with a size 10. The 10 is large for me and I wish I would have gone with a size 9 since the leather would stretch and break in over time. There is extra room in the toes and the heel so my feet move around a bit. Unfortunately I wore them on a quick ride so I cant return them, but cold weather is coming soon and an extra pair of socks should take up the extra half size of room.<br /><br />I will say the laces feel cheap and I dont expect them to last very long, so I will probably replace them with a good pair of boot laces before they break and become a problem. Also, the insoles seem rather thin and flimsy, but they are very comfortable to walk in.
If you want some cheap ass looking boots then these are them
Uncomfortable, looks nothing like the first picture, fits small, literally looks like you spent maybe $25 on them when in reality they are over $100 somehow. Why these boots have 5 and 4 stars from anyone Ill never know but you can find better ones at any cheap store. They remind me of those weird little boots for babies the cheap looking black baby work boots
Not wide enough
These are a good boot is you have narrow feet. Didn't work for me, had to send them back
Simple and effective
Pretty good boot so far. Full grain leather of decent weight, good cushioning, mildly reinforced toe and heel. It's no armor, but I like that about it (until my ankle shatters I guess?). Heel isn't ridiculously tall, treads seem deep. Style is simple without being basic. No zipper, but the last two laces at the top are those open ones that allow you to unlace and relace easily. Boot was off and on easily is what I mean. Feels like it'll break in and last, but I guess we will see.
Highway 21 boots long ride
Road from Illinois to central Florida boots were comfortable and did not get overly hot in the heat. All around good pair of boots.
Highway 21 rpm boots
True fit, good width (I have wide feet), nice height - no problem with existing shift lever clearance. Online boots that I didn't have to return...a rare treat indeed.
Fantastic deal. A++
Boots are very stiff at first. Once you wear them 3-4 times around the house (or shopping at the market), they slowly break-in to be the best quality, budget boot you can buy. They do run slightly large IMO, but I purchased the correct size at 1/2 size down from my normal shoe. While riding you hardly notice them - they are warm on relatively chilly days, and not too hot on medium warm days. I probably wouldn't choose them in the heat of summer unless I was on a long ride at higher speeds where protection is at a premium. On hot days around the town I'd probably choose a riding shoe instead - for the cooler foot feeling. With the 21 RPM Boot - good value meets pretty good protection. As long as you take the time off the bike to break-in the boots, you can't go wrong; you'll also probably end up wearing this boot when motorcycling has nothing to do with your day.
good boots for the money i would buy them again
Fantastic for those needing a wide.
I needed a 15 wide but finding wide sizes in a riding boot is about as rare as every driver you see use a turn signal, but after a day of wearing these around, they fit perfectly.
It's good but could be improved a little.
The boots looks great but they don't have steel toe, rear ankle protection, or side ankle shocks. Over this boot or good that the only true draw back for me other than that the boots are well at the price point.
Well built and comfortable, but minimal impact protection.
First let me say they run 1/2 small on the length size. The size 10 in these boots are the exact same size as my 9.5 Tactical boots. Width wise they are slightly on the wide side. <br /><br />The boots have a slightly hardened toe and heal cup, but doesn't have any impact protection otherwise. <br /><br />The leather is indeed real, and should offer pretty good abrasion resistance. Has a strong leather smell though so I wont be keeping these in the house for a few months. <br /><br />Comfort is great, I could wear theses all day, riding or not.<br /><br />Durability so far has been good. They are resole-able, but only time will tell if the boot can outlast the soles sown onto them. The Eyelet holes and hooks are punched into the leather, so no worries here about breaking them off. They are very easy to lace and unlace too.<br /><br />Great boots to wear rather your riding or not, just be aware that they offer abrasion protection, but not much impact protection.
These boots keep giving
I love these boots, and I've had them for years. I commute all year in PA and I destroy footwear. I've had these boots for about 4 years and I've worn them as my main shoe for these last few years. They won't die. The laces are frayed but still strong. The boot itself is starting to show some damage but still holds solid, and I've absolutely put these through the ringer. They just don't quit. I suspect I might get a year or two more and I couldn't be happier with how they've held up. They look nice, they offer good protection, and they are well worth the price, which is very competitive compared to other boots. I'll probably get another pair when these ones finally give out.
Almost a great boot
I was excited to receive these boots, as they appeared to check all the right boxes for me? a basic black leather motorcycle boot with a welted sole. The quality of the leather tuned out to be very nice, especially considering the low price, but as with most things, you get what you pay for. The foot bed and insole are practically nonexistent? literally paper-thin. I added some aftermarket insoles, not even particularly heavy duty ones, and the added thickness significantly reduced the volume of the boot making it too small. I felt like the boots were a bit narrow to begin with, but as leather stretches I probably would have kept them if they had a better insole. It?s a shame because it?s a good looking boot and the rest of the construction seems to be of very good quality. I will say that despite a few of the other reviews, the length seemed correct to me based on the size.
Overall Great Boots for the "$"
I purchased 3/28/20, and must say very pleased. The "Comfort", and "Protection & Durability", unable to rate properly because of the Coronavirus stay at home. I'm a 12.5 wide, and slightly snug when first worn. After walking they're definitely starting to fit better. As other reviewers stated, they will loosen up over time. Depending how often worn when breaking in. The one minor issue are the insoles inserted in these boots. They're very thin and cheap, no better way to describe them. I have medical insoles that I inserted, and what a difference in comfort...5 stars! So plan on buying some good insoles. However for the price, and quality of boot there should have been quality arch/heel support insoles. That's the only negative review I would have..."Common Highway 21" you spend the time on quality, don't neglect the insoles!<br /><br />P.S. I would submit a pic of the insoles, but don't see an option.
Perfect Harley Boot
Was looking for something a little more durable than the work boots I was riding in. Was surprised at how comfortable these boots were straight outta the box. Sizing was pretty spot on too. Grip on wet surfaces is great. No issue with shifting or braking on my bike. I find myself wearing these out when I'm not riding too. Get a lot of complements on them. Would definitely buy again.
Great boots. Would buy again.
Great boots for both the bike and the office. I've had these a couple of months now and have no complaints. They're very comfortable despite being made of thick heavy duty leather. The soles grip well when on the bike both riding on the pegs and when on pavement at stops. They look good enough to wear in the office. <br /><br />Hard to say how durable they'll be, but the first couple months make me suspect I'll get a good year of daily use out of them which I consider to be pretty good for this price point. <br /><br />I would have paid a little more and it would have been nice to see these include CE armor. But ultimately I went for these because of the classic look and the affordable price.<br /><br />Would buy again.
Good boots
I like these boots, I never tie them all the way to the top, but just right below it, I found that with ankle socks it rubs in not the best way if you lace it all the way up and tie it tight.<br /><br />I haven't had them for very long, but for the few rides I've gone on so far I've been wearing them and they're comfortable for everything I need to do.
Nice old school boot
These boots have thick leather uppers and stiff rubber soles and are stiff like motorcycle boots should be. As such they require a considerable break in period and maybe some oil. They softened up to fit me perfectly. They don't run wide so if you wear larger than a C width they won't fit you. They feel great when riding and give good feedback from the controls. They're my new favorite street boot!
Very comfortable and great quality.
Great Boots!
Great boot for the price. Look good and feel good. I would recommend this product to any motorcyclist. Wearing them all day at the office is comfortable as well.
Great boot for the money, I would buy again.
I like these boots a lot. They are easy to put on, easy to lace up. As long as my rain pants extend over the top 2 inches, these boots have proved to be water proof in heavy rain. I had to buy a half size larger than my usual size so when walking they sometimes feel too big. However that also means I have room for thick socks on very cold days. They do not have much arch support. Great boot for the money, I would buy again.
Kick ass boots
I'm ex military and these boot I use to ride. Very comfortable and sturdy, holds a very nice shine and looks good!
Great Riding Boots
As stated by others, these boots do break-in fairly quickly and become quite comfortable. I wear a size 15 and they are true to size. I bought them specifically for motorcycle riding and they have been working great.
A very good boot for the cost
The sizing is accurate. The grip is good. I wear them at work all day. My only surprise is that they aren’t waterproof. I didn’t read the description so if they don’t say they are then that’s accurate.
Just got my pair in this afternoon, awesome shipping speed! These boots remind me of the old "black cadillac" combat boots from the Marines. They will break in nice the more you wear them and ride. I ordered a 1/2 size down, 10s instead of 10 1/2, the fit is great.
Highway 21 RPM Boots
Trash. One boot had grip the other one didn't. F----d up my right toe bad. Do not get these I wouldn't take them for free.
I just didn't like them for riding, too bulky. Had to return them.
