Love these boots!!! I did the try before you buy just incase and they were perfect. Fit like a glove. Highly recommend

I have owned a pair of AdTecs for three years that I purchased on-line from Sears. They have been excellent for the money. They still have at least 3-6 months of life left in the sole, but as bikers are aware, the sole on the left foot wears out faster due to pivoting on pavement when getting on and off of the bike (i.e. I weigh 220 lbs). So I needed to buy another pair. I have been so pleased with the "AdTec" Harness Biker boots, that I searched Amazon for the exact same thing. I thought I found them and made the purchase.

So, I was a bit surprised that a boot by a slightly different name was shipped to me. I ordered what Amazon was listing as the same AdTec biker boots that I purchased on-line from Sears three years ago. Amazon even still uses nearly the same exact wording in its written description. What arrived was a brand called "Ride Tec". They appear to be at least similar, if not better quality. Not sure if these are made by the same company or are a parent company. Regardless, they still seem to be a great boot for the price.

The differences are:
- They say "Ride Tecs" on the side of heel. rather than "AdTec";
- they seem to have a little thicker/stiffer, possibly higher quality sole than my original AdTecs;
- they have a water repellent oil tanned leather which is a flat finish, not a polished finish like my first pair of AdTecs (which are also water repellent, proven from experience!) .
- Also, I am not sure the insoles are quite as soft or comfortable, however, I wore my first pair 3-5 days per week for three years, so I have replaced worn out insoles several times and it totally restores/improves comfort. These boots would respond exactly the same to any insole of your choosing.

I am intrigued by these new boots, not yet disappointed. If these wear as well and as comfortable, I will be pleased with the purchase. I am guessing they will be even better than the AdTec....but, time will tell.

These feel about a size smaller than my last set of RideTec harness boots, and they don't have the zipper I liked before. Looking into a return now.

EDIT: Turned out my kid had already polished these, so there's no returning 'em. So I pulled out the insoles these came with and swapped them for specialty ones, and that went a long way towards improving the fit. I also wore them with wool socks for a day and broke them in well, and that suited. The lack of arch support and the horribly over-tight feeling was largely down to an iffy foam insole. Don't rely on the factory insoles and they should do okay, but the removal of the zipper and the slightly tighter middle over the arch (since you can't open the boot down to above there with a zipper,) makes these less desirable than the prior year. So one star off for needing a little modification to be ideal, but they're not bad boots for the money after all.

What a comfortable fitting boot a little tight to get on but when they are one they are comfortable
