These boots have been worn by officers on horseback and on motorcycles for more than a century. <\/p>\n<p>I own more than a dozen pairs of tall, black police patrol boots.  I have worn them for more than 20 years while riding motorcycles.  While I am not a cop, I like these boots for their appearance, performance, style, and design.<\/p>\n<p>The Dehner Boot Company has a large share of the market for these boots, followed closely by Chippewa.   The &#8220;Chip Hi-Shine&#8221; is seen much more often on more cops &#8212; at least on the East Coast where I live.  Chippewa also makes a bal-laced style patrol boot, but because of its low-end quality, is not worn as much as the others.<\/p>\n<p>There are other manufacturers of police patrol boots, as well.  Whoever wears them wants them to be functional and perform as expected.  The boots should be comfortable for all-day wear, and withstand hard use from being worn while operating a motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p>I put together a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/bootinfo\/patrolboots.html\">Guide to Motorcycle Police Patrol Boots<\/a> and posted it on my website to answer questions that I frequently receive, and also to share some of what I know.  I had the Guide reviewed by motor officers on the East and West coasts.  One officer who reviewed it for me said:<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;I am sincerely impressed with the thought, information, sheer amount of work and dedication involved in your Motorcycle Officer Patrol Boots review. I have been an officer since &#8217;95 and I know for a fact that there isn&#8217;t anyone half as knowledgeable as you about such a large variety of motorcycle officer patrol boots in the industry and that includes motor cops and Bay Area Police Uniform Shops personnel alike.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Check it out on my website:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/bootinfo\/patrolboots.html\">It is posted here<\/a>.  I hope you find it informative and helpful.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years, I have learned a thing or two about motorcycle police patrol boots.
