Milwaukee Boots

I’m looking for new pair of boots. Doe's anyone have any experience with
the Milwaukee brand boots? They look like they are a high quality product.
Where are they made? I know that the HD boots are made in China. And, I know several people who have had bad experiences with HD boots quality.

I’ve read several positive posts about Red Wing boots however they are a little pricey for me. Are there any other brands that I should look at?
Thanks for the input!

No offense with this question, and I'm not being a smart ass, but do you want to protect your feet and ankles, or look cool?

I have a pair of Harley boots, 2 pair actually, but I think they are only for fashion,( zero ankle protection) these are the next pair I buy...a little pricy, but cheaper than busted up feet should something happen, these are function first, but I think they look good too.

I've tried many boots over the years mostly Red Wing slip ons. The last few years I've been wearing Chippewa slip ons and really like them. They provide excellent protection and are easy to get on and off plus they have and extra leather on the toes if you toe shift. They are a little heavy but if you want protection over fashion you've gotta sacrifice somewhere. And if it matters to you they are made in America.

I just bought a pair of Milwaukee Accelerator boots a couple of weeks ago.
They are replacing my Cruiserworks boots.

They seem well made and are comfortable. I really like the dual side zippers, they go on and off very easily. They have a agressive sole, which the cruiserworks lacked. They break in easily. I don't know where they are made.
I paid $85.00.

My buddy bought a pair of Red Wings and they look nice also. He likes his. I beleive that they were about $150.

I ordered a pair of Red Wings, since they didn't have my size in stock. (I question their seizing machine, It showed I should wear size 14 instead of 13) and I ordered the Milwaukee. I compared the 2 and I didn't see the difference for the extra $. Kept the Milwaukee and returned the Red Wings.

Also I agree that that the Motocross style boot will give the most protection, just don't care for the look, hope I don't regret it someday.lol

He didn't say he wanted to look cool, he said they look like a high quality product. Sounds like you are the one who wants to look cool with 2 pair of Harley "fashion" boots that "look good".
