In the old days, you'd have been the kind of man who'd ride a dark horse, who'd sleep alone on the open range, who'd silently sip whiskey while standing at a bar somewhere on the fringes of civilization.

The full-grain leather is waterproof so it protects you from rain and road splash. Leather is resistant to oil, water, and abrasion, so it's the perfect material for boots meant for riding. It cleans up easily and won't degrade quickly even after being exposed to the elements.Leather is only water resistant, not waterproof. That's why Bates Boots lined these harness boots with a Hydro-guard waterproof membrane. Even if you end up getting caught in the rain (hey, check the weather next time), your feet will stay dry. The 11-inch boot shaft is also lined with a full-length cushion sock lining. That prevents the leather from sticking to your skin or chafing, and increases your comfort.Used to be, you needed heels to hang over your stirrups, now you need biker boot heels to help you hang onto your pegs. These boots have 1.5-inch heels that're perfect for riding since they help you hug the bike better.Maybe you're the type of guy who sleeps with his harness boots on.
