What To Look For In Motorcycle Boots
Summary
Finding the right motorcycle boots can be challenging unless you know what to look for. Here are some key features to consider:
1. Height and Protection: Ensure the boots are at least 160 mm high and offer impact protection for the shins, instep, and ankles.
2. Soles: Opt for boots with sewn soles as they’re stronger than bonded ones. Glued soles may come off if dragged along the road.
3. Sole Features: Look for oil-resistant and waterproof soles to handle puddles easily. Most leather boots achieve this effortlessly.
4. Weight: Lighter boots are preferable in summer.
5. Leather Quality: Ensure the leather is ISO 11642 compliant for water colorfastness.
6. Design and Material:
- Allow at least a 10 mm clearance from the edge to the upper.
- Uppers should be abrasion-resistant.
- Leather thickness should be at least 2.5 mm; soles should be 4 mm, excluding cleats.
7. Traction and Flexibility:
- Contoured soles enhance traction and should be durable.
- Leather must offer protection while being supple enough for comfort.
- A flex panel in the ankle area offers better mobility for braking and walking.
8. Style:
- Engineer-style slip-on boots lack flex sections but offer wide upper movement. However, they may slip off easily.
- Boots should be secured with laces, zippers, hook-and-loop straps, or a combination.
9. Lining and Fit:
- The lining should keep you dry and ventilated in all weather conditions. Appropriate socks can enhance comfort. Outdoor stores often stock high-tech socks.
10. Tread and Cushioning:
- Functional boots should have a tread pattern that provides stability in multiple directions.
- Thick rubber soles help absorb vibrations, and padded inserts can offer extra comfort.
11. Heel and Toe Protection: Ensure boots have adequate heel and toe cups that flex under pressure.
By considering these essential features, you can find motorcycle boots that offer both protection and comfort for your rides.
