RIDETECS 16" Motorcycle Men’s Side Boot Zipper Oiled Leather Boots

I have had these for over two years now and they still look just as they did the day i bought them. I am not easy on my shoes and these have kept up with me, the soles have taken some scuffs but no major damage and the tread on them has not let me down I have run across ice with no issue. The leather itself is thick but soft and doesnt cause any irration to my calves which I like that they fit thicker calfs. For not being for arch support these are extremely comfortable, I have danced for hours in these with no pain. The style is what it says the sit upper calf and have that classic biker look.

These boots are great. True to size. Amazingly comfortable. Priced too good to be true! Easy to put on and take off with that side zipper. My old motorcycle boots were sold as leather, but they were more like a very thin leather veneer that stated separating from the canvas base underneath which cracked and lost water repellancy. These Ridetecs are heavy full grain leather, oiled, water-proof and comfortable to walk around in after getting off the Harley. Could not recommend them higher even at double the price.

I love these boots, I almost sent them back thinking they were too small as my foot couldn't enter the boots but after breaking them in and training them, they are just what I needed.

Update 2024-JUL. I have tried to order more Ridetecs because they are getting a little worn, but I keep receiving AdTec design instead, and it is not acceptable. Please read on this update for details. see images. 2024-07-22: I Ordered one pair of Ridetecs brand 1443ZIPPER. I was careful to order the Ridetecs, noting the fire symbols on the sole and other images in the ad (such as the toe box shape). These are not to be confused with AdTec brand which has narrower, more pointy toe box and has rectangular symbols on the sole. To clarify: ‘real’ or ‘true’ Ridetecs brand has a fire logo on the sole and a wide round toe box AdTec brand has a rectangular logo on the sole and narrower, more pointy toe. Unfortunately, the narrow toe does not fit me and are uncomfortable. (Additionally, the classic ‘engineer boot’, which is what these biker boots are, should have wide, roomy, rounded toes, not narrow like a pointy western boot. -and western is not my style anyway) Immediately after receiving these, I did additional research, and they are actually different models, differently made boots, apparently made on different lasts (accounting for the differences in toe box), and are made by the same company, apparently “AdTec”, as both are shown on their web site. But, AdTec has changed the boot which they now are selling as a Ridetecs boot and using the original Ridetecs model number 1443ZIPPER to sell the original narrow-toe AdTec model, and the sellers are still using the Ridetecs images, so it is misleading as to what you may receive. I communicated directly with AdTec using their web form to inquire, and received no response after a week. Perhaps the original Ridetecs has been discontinued. I have no answers from anyone and returned the boots. It is a shame as I like the original Ridetecs because of the reasons stated, have owned two pairs, and would buy them again if possible. So, if you like a roomy wide toe, and/or don’t like narrow, western style toes, don’t buy these without making absolutely sure what you are going to get. Thank you for attention to this tricky and annoying problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 2024: still going good. In good shape, nothing's broken yet. Update SEP 2020: Still in good shape. Definitely worth the money. Update AUG 1, 2019: After having these almost 8 months, I am still very happy with them. DEC 8, 2018 The correct way to measure a boot height for fitting is from the footbed to the top of the boot. The height is 14.5". The 16" claimed is from the floor to the top, so includes the sole and the heel thickness. These are a great value for the money. I'd buy again.

Fits the foot great, upper needs to be a little snugger

Boots look decent, the shaft opening isn't made for wide feet. I originally order 12w and wasn't even close to get my foot past the turn. Ordered 13w a week later in early October because being a Big Guy in Red requires suit upgrades and new boots were a must. Amazon's inventory was incorrect so the day before the first proposed delivery date they had to go on backorder through manufacturer. Ridetecs put on backorder also. I finally received a shipping notification December 18 to deliver December 24th. Good I would get to use for my final visits of he season. Wrong again, on the 22nd notice for delayed delivery to January 2nd. We'll they came in finally but still won't fit my foot down in so taking to a cobbler to expand the opening. Ridetecs and Amazon have terrible customer service on this order. Also unlike every other order asking for a review they didn't send that email. I hunted to a place to review the product through the delivery notice. I work in a factory and if inventory goes low it is produced within two weeks, three months is outrageous.

I actually bought these to go with a pirate outfit. Have gotten multiple compliments on the look of them. I had previously bought some 'fancy costume' pirate boots that were a fake leather and cost more. These are actual leather, and are of great quality. The zipper works great and makes it so much more convenient to get the boots on/off. The sole is sturdy and thick, has worked great while walking around on pavement as well as in fields for events. Whether you ride a motorcycle, or use them for events... absolutely recommend these

I LOVE these boots. Be careful putting them on. Make sure your foot is lined up with the boot - i.e. foot pointing to the toe of the boot. Once you get this mastered they go on easy and are so comfortable. Make me feel very macho when I am riding my motorbike :) They are not polished like a shoe but have an oil treatment which is better for weatherproofing and longevity. But you cannot get a shine on them. But with the cost and the comfort they are fantastic.

Great boots for my Santa Claus outfit and very comfortable to wear

Excellent motorcycle boot, they are better than the pair of Harley Davidson boots that I have, everyday that I ride, I choose these ones over my Harley Boots, they provide more protection,they are much more comfortable to wear. Even the construction of them is superior, I highly recommend them.

Llego muy rápido, muy buena calidad a un muy buen precio

El material de la bota se siente barato y nada seguro. La suela es bastante buena y no derrapas, tiene un buen agarre.

El producto es bueno buen calibre de piel. buena piel. Lo único que no me gusto es el cierre que no baja hasta la suela y eso en mi caso(empeine alto) me cuesta trabajo meterla.
