Motorbike Boots For Every Kind Of Riding

Touring And Adventure Boots

Touring and adventure boots are built for comfort over long days in the saddle, which makes them a great choice for commuters and everyday riders too. Most are waterproof, either with a Gore-Tex membrane or the brand’s own lining, such as Alpinestars Drystar or Oxford Dry2Dry. Adventure boots add a chunkier sole and extra support for when the tarmac runs out, and the Sidi Adventure Mid 2 Gore-Tex is a great all-rounder for both.

Sports And Track Boots

Sports and track boots are slimmer and much stiffer, with shin plates, toe sliders and bracing that helps limit how far your ankle can twist. Heading to a track day? These are the boots to look at. The Alpinestars SMX-6 v3 is a popular pick for road and track, and it also comes in a waterproof Drystar version. For hot days, summer motorcycle boots with mesh panels will keep you cool, but they won’t keep the rain out.

Short Boots And Riding Trainers

Not everyone wants to walk round town in a race boot. Short motorcycle boots and riding trainers look like everyday footwear but have protection built in, so you can ride to work and wear them all day. Prefer a more classic look? Brown and leather motorcycle boots like the Spada Pilgrim Grande Rev.2 and the Diora Renegade look just as good off the bike, but unlike a fashion boot they’re made for riding. Check the CE rating on the product page before you buy.

Off-Road And Motocross Boots

Off-road and motocross boots are the toughest of the lot: tall, rigid and fastened with big buckles to take knocks from rocks, ruts and footpegs. In our expert opinion, the Sidi Crossair X is one of the best motocross boots out there, while the Wulfsport Trackstar makes a great first pair. We stock kids’ motorcycle boots too.

Women’s Motorcycle Boots

Our women’s motorcycle boots are designed around a woman’s foot and calf, so they fit properly rather than just being a smaller men’s size. Alpinestars Stella, RST and Oxford all make great options in sports, touring and casual styles.

What To Look For In Motorbike Boots

CE Certification

Every pair of motorcycle boots you ride in should be CE certified to EN 13634:2017, the European standard for motorcycle footwear. Where a boot is certified, you’ll find its rating in the features on the product page as four numbers, such as 1/1/2/1. Each number is a 1 or a 2 for a different test, and 2 is the higher level.

Getting The Fit Right

Your boots should hold your heel firmly so it doesn’t lift as you walk, with a little room to move your toes. Sizes vary from brand to brand, so don’t assume you’re the same size in every pair. Thick motorcycle socks will keep you toasty through the winter, but they take up room too, so try your boots on with them. Don’t compromise on your fit.

Tried, Tested And Trusted Boot Brands

Here at BDLA Motorbikes, we only stock motorbike boots from brands we trust, at every price point.
