I really like lug-soled boots for the traction they provide when I ride my Harley.<\/p>\n<p>This is a cool shot, I think.  The boots are new, as well.  My partner is a fairly frequent user of a website called &#8220;bargain outfitters.&#8221;  He had purchased something, but needed to spend $10 more to get free shipping, which would have been more than $10 for what he wanted.  He hunted around, and lo-and-behold, he found a pair of cheap Chinese-made black harness boots with a lug sole with the Harley-Davidson logo on the shafts.  And they were only $10!  (Well, $9.95, but who&#8217;s counting?)<\/p>\n<p>I checked around, and found these boots sell new at on-line boot retailers for about $100, so my partner got me a great deal!  And to think, he said that the last thing he would ever buy me is a pair of boots.  I didn&#8217;t remind him of that when he gave them to me.  I just smiled, said thanks, put them on, and then took him in the back room&#8230;.  oops, this is a G-rated blog.
