A Guide to the Right Motorcycle Boot for You!

Just like there is no dearth of motorcycle apparels in the market, there is no dearth of motorcycle shoes as well. Manufacturers are now coming up with a wide range of motorcycle boots, making choice more difficult. The prices also vary- ranging from mere 100 bucks to even a few thousand dollars.

Motorcycle shoes are meant to be tough and durable so as to protect the rider’s feet from serious injuries. These shoes or boots are padded on the soles and ankles, with unique stitching and shifter pads. Quality boots manufactured by well known brands carry other features as well. Even the non-branded ones are good enough but it is always recommended to opt for the branded counterpart.

Picking up the right motorcycle boots is a personal choice. For cruiser riders, Double H’s boots make the viable choice. An engineer boot, Double H boot offers an ideal nostalgic look. On the other hand, the Jump boot has a more classy appearance that matches up with the cruiser. Closely observed, more and more people are inclined to these styles as they team with the cruiser gear.

Motorcycle boots for sports bike riders are abundant in the market. Majority of these boots are equipped with toe sliders, shin and ankle support, and high impact materials to protect the rider in adverse cases.

Some essential things must be kept in mind before making your motorcycle boot purchase. The boots must be comfortable. They should neither be too tight nor too loose. In case the fit is very tight, the rider’s feet might get numbed, more so if the weather is cold. While checking the fit of the shoes, make sure you bend, climb, and walk normally. In case you are uncomfortable performing any of the actions, don’t make that purchase.

Checking out the shoe design is equally important. The boot should be at least 160mm high from the inner sole and provide impact protection for the insteps, shin and ankles. Besides, the soles must be oil resistant and waterproof to enable you to walk 10metres through the puddle.

Whatever the case, choosing the right motorcycle boots not only depends on the rider’s driving style but also on his motorcycle accessories. Notwithstanding the choice, the rider should never compromise on comfort and safety.
