      The description of how they will fit was 100% accurate. I wore my boots as a gift, all day Father's Day and, they had already began to break in at the end of the day. Very comfortable and no one knew they were motorcycle boots until I told them!

    Steve is the man. I have 3 pairs of indie ridge boots, all of them get used a lot, especially the vented ones and they're holding up very very well. Theyre the only footwear I wear on my bike anymore outside of the track tbh!
    Nice to see some more of the man himself, I've never spoken to him outside of Instagram messages! :)

    So glad to see your follow-up video with Steve and Indie Ridge, the only American MC gear company that TRULY and SELFLESSLY "gets it" with respect to CE certification. I've been a loyal customer for a couple of years, immediately after calling Steve and him assuring me the CE application process was underway. I bought The Crow, then The Crossfield, followed by The Comanche, and The Armstrong are due to arrive tomorrow. I'm beyond impressed with Steve (and his team's) dedication to safety, and astounded that comfort and style are fortunate byproducts. I only wear CE approved gear, i.e., AAA in jeans, motoshirts, and jackets (all with Level 2 armor), and CE 2 boots from Germany and Portugal. Indie Ridge is top-tier, and in many cases, BETTER than some of the [far] more expensive CE imported boots I own, and I've personally shared with him that I'd willingly pay $300+ for his boots. They're simply unassailable, and I wish IR, Steve, Stephanie, and Crew continued success. Keep spreading the word, Robert - 'Muricans need to know this sh!t to stay safe.

    Robert thanks for the interview with Steve. I was actually in the market for a new pair of riding shoes. I have a pair of tan riding boots from another company with the initials A.S. I loved but when the laces (flat tan and water resistant laces) broke the customer service was not sufficient and I have not worn them since. Long story to say I have ordered the Armstrong and will support your brand! Keep up the progress and growth.

    I have 2 pairs of their boots and really like them however if I had to suggest an improvement which is subjective of course is to make the vented version with a thinner inside material, it would make it a bit more vented and lighter...... great boots so far.

    The only thing wrong with Indie Ridge is that they keep coming out with great stuff. I loved my WP Comanches so I bought a pair of Crossfields for hot weather, and not 2 weeks later Steve rolls out not just the Armstrong (aka, ventilated Comanche), but also the Black Comanche. And the boots last. Gotta give me time to figure out how to wear out my old pairs before dropping the sweet new leather, man!

Before I bring it to a mechanic I thought if this is normal you could let me know. If not then I will bring it to a mechanic. But I dont want them to say I need a new clutch if I dont need one thx. For all your help. ( I had to stop practicing because of this. Any other time my motorcycle runs great.
