Boots see the tarmac day in and day out with hardly ever an issue until something goes really wrong. When the tragedy happens, one is left trying to find a replacement and rather quickly. We here at Baggers have been through this experience and in the process of trying to find just the right boot, we invited the world's best boot makers to send us their cream of the crop. In this buyer's guide, we have work boots, biker boots, and some really cool looking non-category boots that we think you will like no matter what style you prefer.
Combat, Cross, Deviant, and Dragon Boots
All the Affliction boots are based on the same dependable chassis that feature a leather upper and an 8-inch height. The bottoms of the boots feature a heavy rubber sole with 1-inch heel together with custom metal fleur. The major differences in the styles are the logos, inlays, and heel detailing.
Ridge Waterproof Black
Famous for road racing and motocross boots, Alpinestars spares no expense in constructing this waterproof cruiser boot that does a tremendous job rain or shine. A great boot for on the open road and in the city, the Ridge also features a specially formulated sole for grip on and off the bike.
Alloy H20
A true biker boot that is constructed out of an oiled full-grain leather upper with full- length zipper and a waterproof membrane. The left boot also features a bullhide leather shift guard. The sole is made from Ariat's Duratread compound and has metal mount peg rests that allow the boots to hang comfortably on highway pegs.
Rambler
A cool looking and comfortable square-toe pull-on boot with an 11-inch height, the Rambler has a full-grain leather foot and shaft with a double-stitch welt and Ariat's Duratread outsole for toughness on or off the bike.

WD9910
A no-nonsense steel-toed slip-on boot, the WD9910 is great for the price and features a real leather upper and triple-stitched straps. The sole is not too aggressive, yet very grippy and features shock and oil resistance.
Trader Moc Toe
The Trader is a trendy looking moc toe workboot with a full-grain leather upper with a six-eyelet lacing system. This casual 6-inch boot can withstand days in the saddle at a time due to its cushioned insole and slip-resistant rubber outsole.

This classic 11-inch high square toe harness boot does a great job both cruising the highways and walking the streets. This boot also features a leather upper and an ankle strap with metal stud detail, a cushioned insole and a tough oil-resistant outsole.

We loved this tough-as-nails made in the USA logger boot, which has a Vibram lug sole with stacked leather heel for extraordinary traction. Other features include a greasy leather upper with rounded toe, cushioned shock-absorbing memory insoles, back pull strap, and durable Goodyear welt construction.
Intrepid Short Engineer
The Intrepid is a basic black short engineer-style boot with a full-grain leather upper adorned with H-D embossing as well as an easy in and out zippered enclosure. The outsole is a rubber-, abrasion-, and oil-resisting plug-style sole with welted construction.
12R Belted Harness
With over 100 years in business, Frye builds a refined, yet ready for anything 12-inch tall harness boot that is constructed from unlined top grain leather with tough pull straps and antique brass hardware. To keep your feet firmly on the ground, a neoprene oil-resistant sole with a 2-inch heel does the job.
