Trooper Leather Men's Motorcycle Boots

These boots were my everyday riders and survived a lot of pretty hot weather to bone chilling cold never leaving my feet as cold as the rest of me. And help up very well in a major accident. The only thing that failed in the accident was the 2 of the lugs tore off the sole but they took all the rash and left no heavy ankle damage. In general I would say for the comfort and ease of use of these zip up boots they were the only ones I owned that I could get a truly laced fit with a zip up. And with the knee and hip damages I took I have to say they heavily protect my lower legs and feet. There is very little about this product that I would want changed so we will leave that alone. I did get some leakage in the rain but very little. The comfort range of these boots gave me no issues from hot to cold.Rating was based on the quality, comfort, and durability of the product.All pro's no real con's for this product.I would highly recommend this product.

I purchased these boots basically to get out of the habit of wearing jeans and sneakers (I hear it's a big no-no these days fashion wise). I don't ride, but I do walk, (haha) so it was important that these felt comfortable for me for everyday wear. These looked cool, so I took a chance.I had to return the original pair because I am not used to buying boots - so my Nike size was not the same as my Boot size. The first pairs, a size 12 were rubbing against my toes when I walked, and after looking at the boot size charts on other sites, this toe touching business should not be. I found this out after I ordered them, but there are many boot sizing charts out there. Just look around.So the 13's arrived, and no more toe touching.These boots are very light and very comfortable. I must say, it will take some time to get used to the heel on these things, but I wore them for a day, and had no problems except when I almost tripped on a step because of the heel - my fault. Just getting used to them.Bottom Line: light, comfy, easy to get on and off, cool looking, and so far - durable. You can't go wrong. Just order one size up.

3 months in and they are still in good condition. Definitely have cosmetic scratches from shifting but otherwise work great. I need to re tie the laces every month or so because they get loose (I usually just use the zippers to get in/out of them)The zippers are still super solid, not going to fall apart on me any time soon (unlike some cheaper zipper boots I have purchased in the past) and feel very comfortable and durable.Never had my feet feel cold (I've ridden in 30ish F weather where my hands went numb in my alpinestar gloves), though if I'm walking around in them on a hot day they can make my feet sweat a little if I leave them zipped up (which the wife doesn't like too much when I get home), but that usually involves the rest of me smelling like a gorilla too...

This is a very nice boot. It took no time to break in. Very flexable when received. I'm a little disappointed that the tongue and laces are not attached to the sides when the zippers are down. I never saw a pix with the zippers open and the piece with the laces attached. now I know why. Still a very nice boot.update.......After 4 yrs of riding and using as work boots, they have held up great. they are showing wear under the big toe and its going to be $55 to resole, so I'm just ordering a new pair and using these for summer time. I had to get new insoles but what would you expect after 4 yrs. of use.upgrading rating to 5 stars

I waited 18 months to review these boots, as I think that's a good watermark for longevity and fit/feel. I always break down my reviews into Pro/Neutral/Con/Other/Final thoughts.Pros:Longevity- these boots have taken a beating and just keep on going. I've put 12,000 riding miles on them, and probably another 1,000 walking miles on top of that. I supernate when I walk, so the outside of the heel and inside of the toe on each boot is showing a bit more wear than the opposing side, but I still have probably 300 walking miles / 3000 riding miles of life before they'll need resoled or replaced.Comfort- I have more expensive boots than these fall flat in comfort, but never had a problem with these boots. They're consistently comfortable.Protection- I've had the bike shiny-side down twice in 18 months (gravel, hit by a deer), and run over my own foot once when I got pushed to a curb by some f-wit on their cell phone. No problems, injuries, or other concerns with the feet yet.Neutral:The fit - I'm normally a 12.5 or 13 in boots, and ended up with a size 12 in these. The reason I'm calling neutral is that the size 12 is perfect for me in the winter. 1 layer of sweat-wicking socks to keep my feet dry and 1 layer of extra-thick thermal socks and my foot is wrapped in cushion. During the warmer months, however, there is a lot of room around my foot - not so much front to back as side to side and top to bottom.Cons:I'm going to have to buy another pair soon :( I hope my next pair wear as well as this one has!Other:The top of the left toebox could use a bit more padding. I mean, these are motorcycle boots, what do you expect me to do in them? If I put more than 2-3 hours of riding in on one day, I end up with a blister on the first join of my left big toe from shifting. Seems there could be more padding in that one area to alleviate this.I agree with another reviewer here, the 'skin' outer layer of leather is pretty fragile. Just due to the layout and resting point from the footpegs, the inside of the heel area of my right boot rests up against my exhaust cover, and the outer layer there was gone in a day or two.Final thoughts:I like these boots enough to be in the market for another pair, and I really hope the quality and craftsmanship are a match or better to the first pair, it would be a real shame to see a long-trusted brand like Milwaukee Leather let their quality slip.
