Thank you for your question. We will refer it to someone in our Marketing Department to get back to you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We have found that our clientele finds it easier to refer to a product by a name than a stock number that can be confusing. We also have had experience where a customer ordered a custom boot using a stock number and then attempted to return the boot because it was not what he expected. We have not had the same problem with orders for boots by name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That makes sense.<\/p>\n

I never received a reply from Wolverine Worldwide, the current manufacturer of Harley-Davidson label boots. (Not surprising.)<\/p>\n
Personally, I find the plethora of boot names confusing as well as somewhat amusing. Masculine-sounding names like Colby, Landon, and Shane for men’s boots, and feminine sound names like Flora, Alexa, and Gigi for women’s boots.<\/p>\n
To me, a boot is a boot, regardless of what you call it. But this explains the boot naming phenomenon that has taken hold in the industry.<\/p>\n
Life is short: wear boots — engineer, patrol, motorcycle, cowboy, whatever — a boot by any name wears as sweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Over the past couple of years, I have observed that many major boot brands have been giving a name to each style of boots they make. Carson, Colby, Elson, Jasper, Keaton, Landon, Shane… you name it, it seems that all boots are named nowaways. Why is that?
