HARLEY-DAVIDSON FOOTWEAR Women's Keeler Motorcycle Boot

Love my boots!

These boots are extremely comfortable and look great! Can't go wrong with Harley boots.

I love boots, let me tell you. I really favor the side-zip kind and these caught my eye when I was looking around for a shorter pair I could wear under and over various kinds of pants.First let me say straight away, they run big. I've been buying size 8 shoes/boots FOR YEARS and the size 8 felt a full size too large. I went down to a 7.5 and it fits fine. I probably could have even wore a 7.The boot has laces but once adjusted, you will be putting them on and off with a side zipper. I personally love this style. The zipper goes up and down easy and it stays up when it should. Update: after wearing them a while, I would suggest changing out the laces. They simply do not stay tied and pop off the hooks when taking it on and off, which defeats the purpose of having a side-zip. I've never had this trouble with Dr Martens anyway.I bought the brown version and although it's a very dark brown, it looks good. It has little tags that have the Harley wording on it on the zipper tag, the lace hooks say Harley on it and there is a tag on the laces with the branding! The side pockets on each boot are pretty sweet. They are not for decoration, and can easily hold money or a credit card though something non-flexible like a license or credit card would probably not be comfortable since it's against your ankle bone. Paper money should be fine.This boot has a slight heel but gosh the whole thing just feels rugged but still cute. I would suggest a good sock with them, though. You won't be able to get away with a bare foot or a low sock in these. The ankle shaft is lined but not cushioned so you'll need your sock to deal with that.That being said, I wore them all over the house today testing them out, and then went out biking/walking my dog. Update: After wearing them on a 3 mile walk with my dog, I would also suggest changing out the sole. It is VERY THIN and not at all comfortable. I added a picture of the orange sole vs a blue gel insert. Your feet will thank you, really it's night and day. But otherwise, they look super sharp wearing skinny jeans or leggings! The price on Amazon was amazing too! I just hope if they update this style they put in a better sole, better laces, and pad the inner boot shaft.

True to size

I had high hopes that these shoes would be genuine leather, not pleather, and not contain any latex nor soy as I am severely allergic. Unfortunately, the inside material caused a latex reaction and they needed sent back. The outside leather seemed all right, the style was perfect, the sizing was pretty good. The stuffed suede-like inside that was latex or latex-like, especially around the ankle was difficult to get one’s foot in. It was a bit tight there around the ankle too. Also, unfortunate, one of the pocket zippers arrived defective, half open, and unusable.

I love these boots - however stitching has come loose in several places.

I liked the boots but didn’t like the used pair of socks that were in them.

I’ll start by saying I got these for $75 from Amazon Warehouse. I suggest you check there before paying full price for anything. The warehouse can be hit or miss, but you can still return items for free returns with Prime. I got lucky with these and they came in the original packaging and with zero signs of wear.As for fit, I got my normal size (US10), the length and width were perfect but there was so much extra room above my toes and top of my foot, and my heel was lifting in the back when I walked because there was too much extra space. I only have experience with military combat boots but I have never had an issue with boots being too tall before. I also noticed the outside of the boots above my ankles were started to fold inward and creating a deep crease in the leather because of the poor fit. I ended up buying some cheap orthotics ($14) from WalkHero and now the boots fit perfectly. They gave me that extra height needed to fill the gap. If you have the same issue, I suggest adding in an orthotic or you’ll end up with horrible blisters and the boots will become misshaped over time.They are super comfortable now and didn’t require any breaking in time. These are my new go-to for winter footwear and I’m glad I got them over Dr Martens.
