    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

    1. "Do you make wide sizes?"

    Yes, but they have to break in. I designed our boots for an American foot (wider). They may feel snug in the toe box, but they will break in.


    2. "But I saw a YouTube review that said—"

    LET ME STOP YOU THERE. He's not reviewing the boot you'll receive — and you (hopefully) don't have his foot.

    I make upgrades with every batch. Each batch contains those upgrades. The little numbers next to the boot name indicate what version you'll be purchasing.


    3. "Do you offer a military/first responder/veteran discount?"

    Yes. Email your documentation to hello@indieridgeusa.com and we'll email you a discount code.


    4. "Okay, I got them, unlaced the first two grommets, shoved in my foot, and they feel a little tight. Did I get the wrong size?"

    Probably not. Take the laces completely off and walk around. Your boot should feel firm everywhere EXCEPT your heel. After some use, the leather will soften and the boot will mould to your foot.


    5. "Wait, so I can actually wear them?"

    Yes. It's called "The Live Free Guarantee". How can you know if you like riding boots if you can't wear them, or even *GASP* ride with them?

    There are some limitations though. Read "The Live Free Guarantee" — but overall, I want happy customers. Happy customers come back.


    6. "I can really return them even if I've worn them or ridden with them?"

    Yes, but again, read "The Live Free Guarantee" and our Official Return Policy, The "Road House" Return Policy. They work hand in hand.


    7. "It's Thursday and I need my boots for a ride Saturday, will they come in time?"

    Probably not. You can buy expedited shipping at checkout, but that does not include Fulfillment Time (1-2 business days) and shipping times are estimates.


    8. Okay, so what kind of conditioner should I use on my new Indie Ridge boots?

    I've tried probably every conditioner/oil that exists. I recommend "Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner". It's cheap and you'll never see the bottom of that tub.


    9. "Are your boots CE Certified?"

    They are. Our EN 13634:2017 results for The Phoenix Collection (Waterproof) are: 1 2 2 2 + WR and 1 2 2 2 for The Wingman Collection (Ventilated).

    We sent our boots to France for testing a year ago, but one American work-hour equals two weeks in France. Our current inventory doesn't have CE marking, but as new inventory arrives, it will.


    10. "Do you ship to Canada?"

    Yes. But, you're responsible for all shipping, returns, exchanges, in addition to duty and fees. Sorry, but you know where you live.


    11. "How do I return or exchange a product?"

    There's probably ten links on this site that say "Size Exchanges & Returns." Pick one.


    You can email us at hello@indieridgeusa.com with any other questions (just don't ask how to do to an Exchange or Return).

    Or call us at (323) 207-9181 between 9:30am-5:30pm Pacific Time. If I don't answer, Stephanie (the nice one) will.

    If you leave a message, I'll call you back and we'll talk about nothing, or everything, for 45 minutes.

    - Steve

    Unbeatable

    I have not had a chance to test the waterproofing, but here are my first impressions.The quality is superb. First class materials, excellent craftsmanship, beautiful stitching, no gaps between shoe and sole, almost look like a dress boot. My grandfater spent most of his working life in the shoe industry (before the companies bailed in the 60s) and he would be impressed by the workmanship. The advice on fit was spot on. The shoe is a bit wide in the toe area and your normal shoe size should be right. Probably enough room for a thicker sock once they are broken in. I wore them around the house at first to be certain the fit was correct. Really comfortable boot. I am retired but I could imagine riding to work in these boots and wearing them all day with no discomfort. The inner liner for waterproofing does come up above the ankle and it makes it a bit tight to get your foot in, especially if you have a high instep. This is hardly an issue and loosening the laces a bit extra takes care of it. This boot is a winner.

    Break in well

    The leather breaks in well. Starts to get that worn look pretty quickly. I used the leather conditioner they recommended and they look awesome. Super comfy.

    5 star

    Boots came right away. They are very comfortable and the packaging was better than most of my designer shoes.

    Loveless lace

    The boots are nice. Unfortunately my left lace tore very easily my first time out on my bike. Dropped a star for me on that mostly because I also was provided a second set of laces to soften that upset. Otherwise a great boot
