On the bike or off, moto-inspired styles are alive and well in the style world. For motorcycle lovers who don’t want to lose that iconic H-D edge in their everyday looks or for the non-riders who crave a bit of that Harley DNA in their daily style, Harley-Davidson takes a step into spring with new looks from the Lifestyle Footwear Collection.
Although the weather has been on the chillier side, we’re not worried and you shouldn’t be either ladies, because Harley-Davidson Footwear is offering some really cool, edgy women’s shoes that are perfect for this transitional time of the season.
The collection boasts heritage-inspired styles, classic silhouettes with modern details, mixing soft full-grain leathers, hardware accents, and of course the iconic Harley-Davidson attitude. Ladies, get ready to celebrate your inner badass with cool ankle boots, Moto-inspired footwear styles, biker details, street style sneakers that offers comfort, urban edge, and striking sexiness.
“What’s unique about the Harley-Davidson brand is whether you live to ride or love the culture, the culture can connect with a variety of customers,” said Amy Lovall, Wolverine’s product manager for the Harley-Davidson Footwear product line. “This collection that takes fans throughout their day with subtle logo detailing and moto-inspired designs.”
Styles to look out for are the Retta. Harley-Davidson’s® Women’s Retta 6-Inch Stacked Heel Black or Tan Leather Fashion Booties. In style and with a touch of the west, these stacked/block heeled booties make chic sound passé. The boot’s shaft is encircled with a leather ponytail weave with tassels draping around the entire boot. A smooth round, non-distracting toe puts the focus on the beautiful tassel embellishment. A very small Harley-Davidson® Bar & Shield® logo on the upper outside of the shaft identifies you as a Harley® lady. It gets better. The boot has a suede lining for superior comfort. Hidden amongst the tassels is a locking inside zipper, making these boots easy to put on and take off. The 3-inch heels are tapered enough to evoke the western look, blending perfectly with the tassels. The rubber outsoles mean you will be walking or standing with prolonged comfort. Made with full-grain leather uppers. The boot’s sole, insole and upper are bound using tried and true cement construction processes. Loyal. Tough. Fearless. Our Footwear embodies the spirit of the open road, as well as the men and women who proudly wear the name. With a growing global presence, Harley-Davidson® Footwear markets functional riding and fashion footwear to anyone who seeks quality and values the Harley-Davidson® brand.
The other shoe that we fell in love with was the Fenmore. This boot helped me transition from New York to Louisiana. Harley-Davidson’s® Women’s Fenmore 11.5-Inch Black or Brown Leather Motorcycle Boots. Suitable for casual wear or motorcycle riding, these boots have a harness style vibe – enough to easily make the crossover from motorcycle to fashion, and then back again. There is no reason you have to give up your femininity to wear moto inspired boots. The Fenmore works great with jeans on or off the bike, and also looks terrific with an office-ready midi and skirts with flare. The pull-in design starts with a classic smooth square toe. Back and front cross straps tie into a classic harness style O-Ring. The unadorned vamp gives way to a smooth shaft that rises over 13-inchs from the street. The outside face of the shaft is adorned with another O-Ring with rivets and an attached double-layered tassel. The brown boots have a small Harley-Davidson® Bar & Shield logo badge affixed to above the shaft O-Ring. The outside facing counter has a debossed Bar & Shield® logo. A re-enforcing layer of leather has been placed on the boot’s counter, above the heel. Made with full-grain leather, these boots are unlined. The heel is tapered for a western feel, and the boot’s sole, in sole and upper is bound using resoleable Goodyear® Welt construction processes, the most labor intensive and durable construction method available. The street side has bright Harley® orange inserts along with an orange Bar & Shield® insert at the in-step.
We’re loving what the Harley-Davidson Footwear has to offer; the range includes silhouettes that are even more striking and cool than the traditional line, with just the right amount of edgy sexiness, without sacrificing the brand’s heritage. It’s casual practicality meets the iconic biker edge. It’s a definite must-see for those who want a more sophisticated Harley-Davidson footwear look.
