For over 50 years Chippewa motorcycle boots have supplied motorcyclists with classically styled, durable and high performance motorcycle boots that will surpass any cheap Harley Davidson boot.

Chippewa has been making boots since 1901, which is just a few years before Harley Davidson delivered their first motorcycle. However, Chippewa boots has been making motorcycle style boots that are specific to the motoring lifestyle years before Harley Davidson motorcycle boots were added to their clothing merchandise line. Chippewa knows what bikers need and want in a motorcycle-riding boot.

Premium oiled leather that is waxed to be made water resistant is used in the manufacture of Chippewa motorcycle riding boots. Vibram soles and Goodyear Welted Construction are used to make their motorcycle boot’s thick soles and maintain their high quality standards. These boots are not glued. They are stitched together for durability and so they can be resoled. Harley Davidson boots, which are made by Wolverine boots, don’t seem to have the same quality in my opinion. They appear overall to be okay but not great boots. However, they have been improving rapidly over the last few years. And quality does differ from model to model and can depend on price. The HD boot styling appears trendier and I personally prefer a more classic style engineer or logger boot than one with lots of logos and flames. That’s one reason why in my opinion Chippewa is superior.

Basically if you buy a Chippewa you know you have boots for motorcycle riding that you can keep for life if you wish. The craftsmanship that goes into these leather motorcycle-riding boots will not be found in cheap motorcycle footwear. We feel some Harley Davidson boots are questionable as to their durability plus you will probably pay more for their name.
