| Like so many things when it comes to motorcycle | | | | even wear on track days depending on the one you |
| apparel and gear these days, motorcycle boots are | | | | decide to wear. Most of these boots come with toe |
| being produced by so many manufacturers its hard to | | | | sliders, ankle support, shin and ankle protection as well |
| pick one. You can get a cheap motorcycle boots for | | | | as high impact materials that are integrated in to the |
| under a hundred bucks these days. Not only do you | | | | boot in case of a crash. These boots are usually |
| have different makers to choose from you know | | | | made for more aggressive riding there fore you will |
| have to add motorcycle shoes to the equation. These | | | | find more safety features designed to protect your |
| are tough shoes made to be durable enough to give | | | | feet from the road. You will find these boots come in |
| you some protection in a crash. Most have reinforced | | | | lots of different colors that will match most sport bike |
| stitching, ankle protection and a shifter pad as well as | | | | gear. Also most of the manufacturers of these boots |
| a non slip type sole. If you are looking for a quality boot | | | | also make gloves and leathers that are all color |
| or shoe there are several manufacturers with a good | | | | coordinated to be worn together. Now one of the |
| track record to choose from. Alpinestars, AGV Sport, | | | | newer things on the scene are motorcycle shoes. |
| Double H and Icon are most of the more popular | | | | These shoes are quite durable but are not |
| brands currently available. Not to mention non brand | | | | recommended for track use. They are tough enough |
| names. I however recommend that you go with a | | | | to offer some protection but nothing like what you will |
| quality boot that is made by a well known | | | | get out of a full boot. The shoes are generally made |
| manufacturer. I have a pair of AGV Sport motorcycle | | | | for street riding. They are popular because they look |
| boots that have lasted 8 years. | | | | much like regular tennis shoes so you can wear them |
| Picking a motorcycle boot really depends on you. If | | | | at work without it being noticed. The shoes usually do |
| you ride a cruiser probably one of Double H 's boots | | | | not offer much in the way of protection but rather |
| will appeal to you since they are made to have a | | | | they have a non slip sole and a shifter pad which |
| more classic styling. Double H makes an engineer boot | | | | makes it easier for you to shift while riding. Most of the |
| which is a perfect nostalgic looking motorcycle boot or | | | | shoes are reinforced to some degree but not nearly |
| the Jump boot which also has a classic look. I find that | | | | like motorcycle boots. |
| people that rider cruisers tend to lean towards those | | | | Typically your riding style and the type of bike you ride |
| styles, since they fit that sort of bike as well as the | | | | will dictate what kind of motorcycle boots you will |
| gear that goes with riding a cruiser. You would look | | | | choose to wear. Just keep in mind to wear gear that |
| kind of funny in race gear on a cruiser!! | | | | adequately protects you for your style of riding. Ideally |
| Motorcycle Boots and Shoes for riders of sport bikes | | | | a helmet, gloves, jacket, riding pants and boots should |
| are quite abundant. Icon AGV and Alpinestars all make | | | | be worn at all times when you are out on a |
