5.0 out of 5 stars My Boot Search Is Over, October 26, 2010

By

I very seldom give five star ratings to anything, but the Rallies have earned it.

Since I started riding about two and half years ago, I've been on a quest for the perfect boot. I owned 8 pairs before the Rallies including some European ones (TCX, BWW, Diadora, Gaerne), Carolina engineer boots, and a few Chinese-made ones (Xelement, Harley brand).

The European ones were either summer mesh or "touring" boots with a waterproof lining. I find even good quality waterproof systems hot in the summer. I seldom ride in the rain so it's eay to just put on boot covers when I do. So the first criterion in my quest for the perfect boot was construction of plain, good quality leather.

Then, I was looking for comfort, both for walking and wearing all day (my weekend fun rides are often 10-12 hours). This mean that it was important that they come in half sizes and multiple widths.

Finally, I was concerned with where my boots are manufactured. I prefer American-made, but will consider Italian. China was out.

I finally settled on the Chippewa Rallies. They met all my criteria. They are exquisitely made. They were a bit stiff out of the box, but softened nicely after a day of wear. They are lined leather with a shifter pad. They are tall enough for good protection, but can be worn either under or over pants. They can be easily re-soled. The price wasn't bad (my other option--Aerostich Combat Lites were $100 more). The closure system makes them easier to get on and off than engineer boots. They look good with a simple styling that isn't garish like many European boots. And they just feel good. I put in more than 500 miles on them in the past three days, and wasn't dying to rip them off at the end of the rides.

My only concern is with the velco closure, particularly the two straps. In online fora people have mentioned having to have this replaced but they said it was cheap at a local shoe repair store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Motorcycle Boots, December 1, 2009

The Chippewa Rally boot is by far the best I have ever owned. Construction is superb, the soft leather lining is comfortable, and the velcro closures leave plenty of room for adjustment. I was reluctant to order on line as I have a wide foot and find that I usually return shoes and boots because they don't fit properly. I measured according to the size chart and the fit is perfect. Prior to ordering, I called three dealers and found that none stocked my size and all quoted full retail price. Amazon's price was more than competitive and delivery service was good. The five star rating I have given this product is appropriate.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Motorcycle Boot Period., September 30, 2009

Five yrs. now & they look better now-then-new. These USA made boots are so comfortable I can cut my grass in them. The leather is thick yet soft as buttah. The padded, ultra smooth, soft glove leather lining is to die for. These battle ready boots are a breeze to get in and out thanks to the velcro flap and straps. Great long lasting leather/rubber heel, sole, and shifter padding on the toes. Nice, light feel on my Harley's foot controls. They take a great polish too. Best bike boots out there PERIOD!
