Which Motorcycle Boots?

With the huge array of motorcycle boots available on today's market from an ever increasing supply of manufacturers the process of selecting the correct pair to suit can feel like an overwhelming task. First of all, and most importantly when buying online is that you know your exact shoe size, preferably in US, UK and European standards. As buying the incorrect size can be inconvenient in terms of returns and will also cause discomfort, taking away from the protective capabilities offered and detracting from your overall riding experience. Next up be prepared to spend some money, the best protection and most comfortable boots are generally slightly more expensive but will be worth every penny invested, after all you only have one pair of feet, so keeping them in good order is surely worth it. Look out for motorcycle boots that particularly state they have anti slip, added traction soles to provide you with a confident grip both on and off the bike, in all weather conditions. Features such as reinforced ankle protection, internal and external heel protectors and replaceable PU sliders will all contribute to the overall safety of the boots, especially if you are a sportsbike rider. When it comes to the material used for the construction of the boots there is a choice between leather and synthetic fabrics, often the two are melded together. Leather will provide a tough and durable exterior that protects against scraping and keeps feet protected to a higher degree than synthetics fabrics. However, with the introduction of the latest technology some textile boots will allow for flexibility and adaptation to be used throughout the seasons, keeping feet warm and dry during the winter but allowing for air circulation and a cooling effect in the summer. Boots also come in a variety of lengths, from short ankle cut offs right through to full extended lengths. This choice depends on your individual preference and the primary usage of your bike, whether it's for commuting or for longer cruising and touring. Finally, always remember that a pair of trainers is no substitute for a properly fitted and specifically designed set of motorcycle boots. Don't put your feet in jeopardy and be prepared to spend that little bit extra! Motorcycle Boots
