Motorcycle boots are an essential part of each rider’s motorcycle attire. The protection and comfort they provide is vital in ensuring you are safe and comfortable. This is why choosing the correct pair of riding boots is key.
Ladies’ footwear will run smaller than men’s; you can use your shoe size as a guide for the best fit for your motorcycling boots, though depending on the material and manufacturer the sizes may vary.
Choosing the perfect style of boots:
- Depending on how you like to wear your boots, inside or outside your trousers, have a look at the shin protection to make sure you will have a comfortable fit.
- Decide the level of protection you will require for the style of riding you engage in as some boots have more protective features which might not be needed or comfortable for your style of riding.
- Be weary of certain protective features such as metal toe guards, as they might scratch your bike as you mount it.
- Adventure off-road boots offer lots of protection, but you might struggle with the changing of gears if it is a sports bike you ride. Touring boots will be great for long journeys, and harsher weather conditions as they are waterproof and warm, but it could get too warm if you are riding on track in the summer
- You might have to consider owning multiple pairs for the different conditions you ride in, to ensure the perfect fit and suitable protection.
Finding the perfect fit:
Leather boots will likely feel stiff at the start, they usually give in after some wear, if after trying them on they do not feel comfortable it may be the size which is the issue. Your motorcycling boots should never be too stiff or too tight with no room to move, they should not feel uncomfortable. You should have mobility in your motorcycle boots so that you can ride safely and comfortably, but not so much that your foot could twist in case of accident.
- Rest your bare foot at a right angle to a wall, keeping the heel right up against the wall.
- Using a tape measure the distance between the wall and the tip of your foot.
- Repeat for your other foot, use the bigger measurement as a guide for your size.
