Proper motorcycle boots with built in armour. Feet and leg injuries are some of the most common in riding accidents.
What to look for:
- The right standard
- Comfort
- Secure fastenings - boots that pull on or off are useless
- At least 160mm height from the inner soles
- Inner boot constructed with protective cups for ankles and toes, and strong shank in the sole
- Impact protection for shins and ankles
- Strong, thick leather
- Oil-resistant soles
- No steel toe caps - you won’t have sufficient ‘feel’ for the controls
- Waterproof - wet feet quickly become cold then numb.
