Harley-Davidson Women's Christa Riding Boot

I tried these on in a store over a year ago and waited until I found them on sale on Amazon to purchase. For ~$60 these were a great deal. They are really comfortable and will work for someone with wide feet. I have bigger calves so I sometimes have trouble with taller boots not fitting properly, but these hit me just below my calf so they are flattering and still taller than ankle boots. I don't usually wear any type of heel, but there is pretty good ankle stability and support so I haven't found these to be uncomfortable. I generally wear a size 8.5, sometimes 1/2 a size up or down depending on the style-- I got these in an 8.5 and they fit really well! I didn't buy these to ride in, but the leather is somewhat thin. They feel durable and well made as far as a nice pair of fashion boots goes, but I'm sure the road would chew these up pretty well if you were to ride in them and have an unfortunate accident. They are lightly lined which does add some warmth. I love these, but probably wouldn't have gotten them at full price. Hoping they last a long time!

I am thrilled with these boots. I have a hard to fit foot, expect every bit of footwear to need breaking in. These are true to size, length wise. I wear a size 8 1/2. I have a wide foot and a high instep that these boots can accommodate right off the bat by wearing a thin sock. Plenty of wiggle room for the toes. Nice heavy leather that is molded in the heel for a secure fit. No slipping or rubbing.The heel height and forefoot platform are perfect height for regular wear. I always need a bit of heel. The tightness across the instep eased up with two wearings. I am not sure how slip proof the soles are, but I prefer these shallow grooved soles to the heavy lugs that hang on to every bit of mud and gunk they step in. Now for the bad news: They have no arch support. I was able to remove the glued in lightly padded footbeds and replace with some that have arch support. I was disappointed that these boots are lined with a fabric rather than leather. We will see how that holds up. A bit hard to pull on at first due to the fitted nature, but once on they fit like they were made for me, so that is only an annoyance that should improve with break in. They are easier to pull on every time I wear them. They are not waterproof, but give some measure of water resistance. Additional treatment will help with that. All in all I love these boots. They are cute, comfortable, and with time they will be treasured.

These boots arrived on time and fit perfectly. They are a great quality and very comfortable. Very true to size. I am a size 10 and I sometimes receive things that are too large or too small. These are perfect. I wore them for a day to break them in a little before my first ride. I was concerned that they were a little too stiff for gear shifting but I was wrong. They are sturdy and worked great on the shifter of my Sportster. In the long run, they are there to protect you so the solid construction gave me piece of mind while providing comfort. Plus... they look hot!!! I have ridden with them a few times and have started to see the shift mark on the top of the left boot. If you ride, you know that this is cool :)

The Christa boot is a good looking and comfortable boot. I typically wear size 8 in street shoes, however, I have owned three pairs of HD boots, and they have all been size 8.5 (in order to ensure enough toe room). I have found HD's sizes run consistently in all models I have tried on, so I will always order a half size larger with confidence that they will fit. The Christa model's leather is very soft; not the typical heavy duty grade leather I am used to with HD boots. Seems like they will scuff very easily. So, if you are looking for a comfortable passenger/fashion boot, this could fit the bill. If you are a rider and are looking for a sturdy boot that will wear well and long (appearance- and functionality-wise) I would not recommend it. I do not believe the tread is conducive to the safest riding. The tread on the Christa boot may do okay in optimal riding weather conditions, but if you get stuck in a rain shower and need traction in slick road conditions, it may not be sufficient. I suggest riders do a search on both the Christa boot and the Ashby boot (Ashby is now discontinued, but still available in black in some HD stores and on ebay) and look at pictures of the bottoms/treads and note the differences I am speaking of. Also, in my research of the other two new HD harness models, Dulcie and Darice, I noted they have better, but still pretty cheesy treads. While I very much like the look and feel of the Christa boot, I am sending this boot back and tracking down a pair of Ashby boots. I currently own Ashby in brown, and it is the best boot I have ever worn, both for comfort and for functionality. I am pretty disappointed that Harley Davidson (Wolverine Boots) discontinued a model like Ashby without ensuring a suitable replacement. Christa could have been that boot from an appearance standpoint, but that's where it ends. Hopefully HD will do a little better in the next boot line up in the October timeframe when they introduce the 2014 models.

This is my first HD boots so I did not really know what to expect. I am a size 7M and they were slightly loose for me but with thicker socks they should be fine. They are well made and the toe area is hard leather to protect your feet. The boots are stylish. You can wear them under straight jeans so long as they are not snug fitting.

This boot that was designed with me in mind. The quality is remarkable. Sturdy beyond expectation. Well-made! The raw smell of the leather nearly knocked me over when I opened the box. Perfect! Will require some breaking in due to the quality of the leather. 100% true to size for me. 8 1/2, same as my shoe size for as long as I can remember. If I had the money, I'd order enough pairs of this boot to last me the rest of my life. Got the boots on sale, plus Free shipping from Amazon, and had the boots in 6 days. Thanks Amazon!!! I give you my business whenever I can. And GREAT JOB HARLEY DAVIDSON!!! It's so hard to find good quality anymore, even at high prices. This is great quality and great price!!!

Bisogna solo avere l'accortezza di acquistare un numero in più. Io di solito calzo 39/40 e ho acquistato un 41 che mi calza molto bene. Gli stivali sono molto belli, e anche se sono leggermente imbottiti non tengono troppo caldo, li ho portati per tutto il mese di Agosto!

Although I usually wear a size 8.5, I purchased the size nines because some reviews said they fit small. This wasn't so. The nines had way too much room for me. I purchased my usual size, 8.5, and they fit just as they should. They look just like the picture and feel great on. The top of the boot has a lot of room to tuck in pants. I would say they are a relaxed fit.

love them! so worth the price...and what a fantastic price!

Awsome

comfty and good quality.
