It’s funny that because my main character in Aion is named Harleykin, many people assume I’m a biker. Actually, she’s named after one of my favorite Batman characters, Harley Quinn. I like Harleys, but don’t own one. (might be nice … someday) That said, I do LOVE their gear. Especially their boots.
What can I say? I’m a woman and I love shoes — namely BOOTS! :thumbup_tb:
I had a pair many years ago and wore them until the soles literally fell off. Sadly, it ‘s hard to find a good long-lasting pair of boots. Next to some old Doc Martens (a staple in every self-disrespecting goth girl’s wardrobe don’tchaknow!), they were my absolute favorites. Well I decided that it was time to invest in another pair of good boots. My early birthday gifts to myself are the fitness trainer sessions that I mentioned last week and these beauties:
These are a pair of Harley-Davidson “Robyn” riding boots for women. I normally prefer a more ‘military’ style, but once I saw these I was smitten! :happy_tb:
Because none of the local retailers here carried this style, I had to order online. I’ll tell you what — when my package came in, I tore into that box like a 6 year old on Christmas Day! There’s nothing like the smell of new leather. It’s easily one of my favorites! :D
I’ve been wearing these lovelies everywhere trying to get them broken in. So far, so good!
Once some of this weight starts dropping off, I can invest in some ‘skinnier’ (e.g. not ‘hide the fat baggy’) jeans and sport them around properly.
I’m excited. :jittery_tb:

I am also really fond of HH tanker boots. I wore my last pair till the soles were smooth and then had them resoled so I could keep wearing them. They are not nearly as pretty as these new ones you have gotten, but they are really sturdy and still neat looking.

Oooooh, I’m digging the wrap-around style on those. I’ll bet they’re hella comfy once broken in too! :D

They remind me of New Rock boots. Proper Goff innit.

LOL, no. I’m having to save up my pennies and get the rest later. ;)
